Patient Testimonial for Femur Fracture Fixation & HTO

Femur fracture fixation is a surgical procedure performed to stabilize a broken femur, which is the thigh bone. It is done to restore alignment and stability to the femur after a fracture, which can result from trauma such as a fall, accident, or sports injury. The surgery is typically done under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes an incision over the fractured area to access the bone. Specialized metal plates, screws, or rods are then used to hold the fractured ends of the femur together and promote healing. This fixation allows the bone to heal properly and regain strength, mobility, and function. High tibial osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat knee osteoarthritis by realigning the upper part of the tibia (shinbone) to reduce pressure on the damaged part of the knee joint. It is typically done in cases where the damage is limited to one side of the knee joint. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the knee and cuts the upper part of the tibia before repositioning it to redistribute weight more evenly across the knee joint. This helps alleviate pain and improve function in the knee joint. High tibial osteotomy is often recommended for younger patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis who want to delay or avoid total knee replacement surgery. Mr. Osman Thaimu Kamara from West Africa successfully underwent Femur Fracture Fixation and High Tibial Osteotomy at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Venuthurla Ram Mohan Reddy, Sr. Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Lower Limb Services, Hip and Knee Surgery, Clinical Director.
