How long does it take to recover from a high tibial osteotomy

A high tibial osteotomy is equivalent to internal fixation of the fracture, which means that it takes about three months to fully recover until the fracture line blurs disappear. A high tibial osteotomy requires partial removal of bone to correct the deformity and allow the osseous end of the osteotomy to heal again, creating an artificial fracture healing process that will take about three months for the fracture line to fade. However, the healing situation of each person is different, because the way of osteotomy and the destruction of blood flow of the surrounding tissues, the nutrition of the whole body and the stability of internal fixation are the main factors affecting the healing of the fracture, therefore, the healing time of each person is different, the specific need to take X-ray film, according to the healing situation of the fracture on the X-ray film to determine the recovery time, in general, about three months can basically achieve healing, and the fracture healing is basically restored. The fracture healing will also be basically recovered.
