Till what age can a repair surgery like HIGH TIBIAL OSTEOTOMY be done?
High Tibial Osteotomy when done properly and by an experienced surgeon gives a reliable relief from pain for about 10 to 15 years. While deciding about age limits, we should understand the difference between Chronologcal and Physioogical age. i.e. a person may be 75 years of age but be very healthy and active and hence behave like a 65 year old. Hence for someone in good health and high demands of the knee, a repair surgery like High Tibial Osteotomy can be done on an average till 65 to 70 years of age and as an upper limit till about 75 years if the person is very active.
