Important: Weight-bearing and range depend on the procedure and fixation. Follow your written plan and X-ray review schedule.

This document provides a step-by-step rehabilitation pathway following high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and should be followed under the direction of a physiotherapist. It includes surgeon-specific guidance for weight-bearing, bracing, and early range-of-motion goals, then progresses through staged strengthening for the quadriceps, hips and core, balance and proprioception training, and gradual conditioning. Later phases cover return-to-running progressions, plyometrics, agility, and sport-specific drills, with timing tailored to your healing and functional milestones rather than a fixed timeline.

Your plan may differ. Follow the instructions you receive from Dr Shatrov.
