O-leg surgery is generally the use of plate screws to internal fixation and then lower limb correction, as well as unicondylar joint replacement and total knee replacement surgery, O-leg surgery needs to be different according to the cause of O-leg surgery, please follow the doctor’s instructions.
O-legs are usually corrected by internal fixation with plates and screws. Surgery needs to be done differently according to the cause of the O-legs. If the O-legs are caused by femoral inversion, tibial inversion, or extra-articular bony deformities, then the patient needs to go to the hospital for orthopaedic osteotomy treatment.
O-legs can also be treated with unicompartmental condylar replacement and total knee replacement. If the O-leg is caused by intra-articular lesions, such as severe wear and tear of the medial compartment of the knee joint, resulting in narrowing of the medial compartment and the eventual development of an O-leg, then the patient will need to go to the hospital for joint replacement surgery.
In addition, after the surgery, we should pay attention to a light diet, try not to eat spicy and stimulating food, and it is best not to smoke and drink, and when there are symptoms of discomfort, we should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
