Osteotomy is a surgical procedure designed to treat certain bone-related conditions by deliberately cutting and reshaping the bone. This procedure is commonly performed to correct deformities, realign bones, or alter the bone's structure to alleviate pain or improve function in joints. It's often utilized in orthopedic surgery, particularly for issues affecting weight-bearing joints like the hip, knee, or ankle. The surgical process involves carefully planned incisions made in the bone to either remove a wedge-shaped section or reposition the bone fragments. Surgeons employ various techniques based on the specific condition being addressed, aiming to restore proper alignment, balance, and stability in the affected joint. Osteotomy is frequently recommended for patients with conditions such as osteoarthritis, where joint damage or deformities cause discomfort or hinder normal movement. By adjusting the bone alignment, weight distribution across the joint can be modified, potentially delaying or preventing the need for joint replacement surgery in some cases. This procedure demands meticulous planning, precision, and expertise to achieve the desired corrective outcome while ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding tissues and optimal post-operative recovery. Patients typically undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine their candidacy and understand the potential benefits and risks associated with the osteotomy procedure.
