Overview of Osteotomy for Angular Deformities

Osteotomy for angular deformities is a surgical procedure that corrects abnormal bone angles in the arms or legs. The surgeon cuts and realigns the bone to restore proper alignment and function. This surgery helps patients improve mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future joint problems.

Surgical Technique and Approach for Osteotomy in Angular Deformities

During osteotomy, the surgeon carefully cuts the affected bone at a precise location to correct the angular deformity. Specialized instruments such as orthopedic drills, saws, plates, screws, and guide wires are used to ensure accurate alignment. After realignment, fixation devices like locking plates or external fixators are applied to stabilize the bone during healing. The procedure is usually performed under general or regional anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Post-surgery, casts, braces, or physiotherapy may be required to support healing and restore function. Regular monitoring with X-rays ensures proper bone healing and alignment.
