New Delhi [India], April 3 (/PRNewswire): Mpal Hospital, Delhi successfully corrected the genu varus deformity in a 16-year-old female patient. The patient presented to the hospital with complaints of progressive deformity in both knees and difficulty in walking. After a thorough clinical examination, it was determined that the patient had deformity in both femur and tibia, which required staged correction.
Under the supervision of Dr Rajeev Verma, HOD and consultant - Joint Replacement and Orthopaedics, the patient underwent lateral wedge osteotomy of the right distal femur and open wedge osteotomy of the right proximal tibia with fibulotomy. The surgery was performed by Dr Lalit Kumar Lohia, Consultant, Joint Replacement and Orthopaedics, and the patient tolerated the procedure well. Following the removal of the drain, the patient was given an above-knee cast, which was removed after six weeks. Check X-rays were conducted, and the patient was gradually allowed weight-bearing ambulation with walker support.
