X-Bein oder O-Bein – Was steckt hinter Knieschmerzen? | St. Vinzenz-Krankenhaus

Each leg axis is uniquely shaped and is not always perfectly straight. However, if knee joint problems arise, the cause may lie in a misalignment of the axis with uneven stress. Among the most common misalignments of the knee joint are genu valgum (knock-knees) and genu varum (bowlegs). If one of these misalignments has been present for a long time, the uneven stress can lead to osteoarthritis of the knee. An osteotomy offers the possibility of repositioning the affected area of ​​the knee joint from the primary weight-bearing zone. Therefore, an osteotomy is a joint-preserving surgical procedure that can ideally halt, or at least slow down, arthritic wear and tear.
