Knee Realignment Surgery in Boise and Meridian

Knee realignment surgery may help straighten your legs and reduce knee pain.

When to Consider Knee Realignment Surgery

Sometimes, knee pain can be caused by your overall anatomy and how straight your legs are. If you have knocked knees or bowed legs, they can strain the knee joint and result in arthritis. Knocked knees, or genu valgum, is a condition where the knees angle in and touch each other when your legs are straightened. Bowed legs, or genu varum, occur when the legs curve outward at the knees when your feet and ankles are touching.

Knee realignment surgery can help straighten your legs and reduce pain in your everyday life. If you are living with knee pain and want to learn your treatment options, call us today to schedule a consultation. 

What Knee Realignment Surgery Involves

Knee realignment surgery, also known as an osteotomy, involves strategically cutting and reshaping the tibia and/or fibula bones to improve your biomechanics and reduce chronic pain. Depending on the extent of the operation, this may be an inpatient procedure, as it can be significantly invasive. 

What to Expect After Knee Realignment Surgery 

Recovery from knee realignment surgery can be a long process, taking six months to a year. You will have to follow up with your surgeon so they can monitor how well your bones are healing, and you may need physical therapy. However, you may be able to walk independently in as little as eight weeks and notice a long-term reduction in chronic knee pain.

“If you need a Great knee Surgeon, you need to go to “BlackRock Orthopedics”, and see Dr. Corbett Winegar. The front office staff to the back medical office staff are always friendly and welcoming. They are so helpful and always willing to answer any questions you may have. I really like the fact that you don’t have to wait very long to be seen. I had a Total Knee last July, (2023), Jodi M, the MA explained how to use the after surgery equipment to me and my daughter, and answered all the questions we had. Jodi, the x-ray tech is so good, on my return appointments she gets my x-rays done and answers any questions I have. Before I leave, the Dr. and nurses make sure I have had all of my questions and concerns taken care of. I don’t need a return appointment, as the surgery was a great success. I am to call for an appointment, if I have any problems or concerns in the future. Everyone is so kind and willing to help, I actually enjoy going there for my appointments, and when I need my other knee taken care of Dr. Winegar will be the one I will see. Thank You BlackRock Staff!!!!!” – Judith
