What is Distal Femur Osteotomy? | How DFO Surgery Can Save Your Knee | Dr Nikhil Charde

In today’s video, we’ll talk about Distal Femur Osteotomy (DFO) — a joint-preserving surgery designed for people with bow legs or knock knees. These conditions cause uneven weight distribution across the knee joint, leading to pain, swelling, and early arthritis.

DFO helps restore proper alignment, ensures even load distribution, and significantly reduces pain — allowing patients to return to their daily activities comfortably.

👉 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ What is DFO surgery and who needs it
✅ How the surgery helps in correcting knee alignment
✅ Key benefits of DFO — especially for people aged 20–50
✅ Recovery timeline and post-surgery expectations
✅ How DFO can delay or prevent total knee replacement

👉 This surgery is performed using modern, minimally invasive techniques, ensuring smaller incisions and quicker recovery. With the help of early physiotherapy, patients can regain movement and strength faster. Most individuals are able to return to routine walking within 6 to 8 weeks, while full activities can be resumed within 3 to 4 months. The ultimate goal of DFO surgery is long-term joint preservation and improved knee mobility, helping patients maintain an active and pain-free lifestyle.

👉 If you or someone you know is suffering from one-sided knee pain or visible knee deformity, this video will help you understand why DFO might be the right solution.
