Nicky – Osteotomy (Pt1)

Nicky’s Osteotomy Journey – Part 1

(0:00) Would you say you have expected that? No. Are you somewhat surprised? (0:05) Somewhat surprised. Are you smiling? Yep.

Perfect.

(0:10) When you’re on holiday you normally go for like a swim and a run. Yeah, cycle. You’ve got this (0:15) problem with your knee because it doesn’t hurt you but it just feels it’s like a little bit awkward

(0:19) and extend and like amazingly flexible.

Walk back towards us. Do that a few times. (0:27) A bilateral double level osteotomy, medial closing wedge for the femur and the tibia and (0:34) obviously realigning here. Lots of, lots of colleagues will say well that is definitely (0:39) a hinged knee but we think that probably we can win her five till ten years and then we have a (0:45) have a way easier total knee for the definitive approach.

And you’ve had quite a bendy leg before, (0:51) is that right? Quite, it was wonky. Wonky, wonky. It was rather like 45 degrees sticking out to the (0:58) to the outer, huh? And right now it’s straight.

Give me your hand, stand a bit broader. (1:06) Broader stance, broader stance, try to widen that stance. That’s perfect. Now if you lift or raise (1:12) your right or your left heel and put your weight over to the operated side, how does that feel? (1:17) I can feel a slight bit of pain down that side. Yeah, but it’s not terrible? No. It’s good? I wouldn’t, (1:24) I wouldn’t trust it without your hand. Yeah, you have my hand here.

Can you, can you go further (1:31) onto that side? Okay, can you lift your left foot? You tell me that you just had a, had a double level (1:38) osteotomy and stand on that foot safely, yeah? Without pain. Without pain. Is that crazy? Can you walk? You get my hand.

(1:47) Do it. (1:51) You happy with the result? Very happy, thank you. You’re welcome.
