Valgus Deformation
Correction

Valgus deformity correction involves surgical procedures aimed at correcting the alignment of a limb, typically the lower limb, where the bone or joint is deviated inward. In the context of the knee joint, valgus deformity refers to a condition where the lower leg (tibia) is angled outward in relation to the upper leg (femur). This deviation can lead to uneven weight distribution on the knee joint and increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis.

Recovery and Rehabilitation: Recovery from valgus deformity correction surgery involves a period of immobilization followed by physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the knee joint. Weight-bearing may be limited initially to allow for proper bone healing, and a gradual return to normal activities is typically recommended under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Valgus deformity correction surgery is generally effective in reducing pain, improving function, and delaying the progression of osteoarthritis in the affected knee joint. However, the specific approach and outcomes depend on factors such as the severity of the deformity, underlying joint condition, patient age, and overall health.
