Maintaining an active lifestyle requires stable, well-aligned knees. When a patient suffers from both chronic ligament instability and early-stage medial compartment arthritis, a specialized “double” procedure is often the best path to recovery.

At Inova Hospital, our orthopedic team, led by Dr. Sudip Khanal, recently performed a successful combined High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR).

Understanding the Procedure: HTO + ACLR

For patients with bow-legged alignment (genu varum) and a torn ACL, performing only a ligament reconstruction often fails because the mechanical strain on the new ligament is too high. By combining these two surgeries, we achieve two critical goals:

1. HTO (High Tibial Osteotomy): Realigns the leg to shift weight away from the damaged inner knee.
2. ACLR (ACL Reconstruction): Restores stability to the knee joint.
