Osteotomy Surgeries & Its Types
Osteotomy surgeries are orthopedic procedures designed to correct deformities or realign bones in various parts of the body. These surgeries are often recommended when conservative treatments such as medication and physical therapy fail to provide adequate relief for conditions like arthritis or injuries. Understanding the intricacies of osteotomy surgeries, including their procedures, benefits, and recovery processes, is essential for patients considering this treatment option.
Types of Osteotomy Surgeries:
Knee Osteotomy: This procedure involves cutting and reshaping the bones around the knee joint to shift weight away from damaged or arthritic areas. It can be beneficial for individuals with osteoarthritis or knee injuries, particularly if they are too young or physically active for knee replacement surgery.
Hip Osteotomy: Hip osteotomies are performed to realign the hip joint, usually to correct conditions like hip dysplasia or osteoarthritis. By repositioning the hip socket or femur, these surgeries aim to improve joint function and reduce pain.
Spinal Osteotomy: Spinal osteotomies are typically done to correct spinal deformities such as scoliosis or kyphosis. Surgeons remove wedges of bone to straighten the spine and improve its alignment, thereby alleviating pain and preventing further curvature progression.
Foot Osteotomy: Foot osteotomies are commonly performed to correct structural abnormalities such as bunions or hammertoes. By cutting and repositioning bones in the foot, these surgeries aim to relieve pain, improve stability, and restore normal foot function.
