Dear patient
I think you want to improve hand to knee gait. Ther are many ways to improve it and one of them is extension osteotomy of distal femur. But we have to assess muscle function first so as to fit better outcome. I would advise visit to expert musculoskeletal expert and get yourself examined. All the best
