Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping bones to correct deformities or misalignments. This technique is often used to treat conditions such as arthritis, fractures, or congenital abnormalities. By repositioning the bone, osteotomy can help improve function and reduce pain in affected joints. The procedure can be performed on various bones, including the femur, tibia, and pelvis. Recovery typically involves physical therapy and rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility. Osteotomy is considered when other treatments, like medication or physical therapy, have not provided sufficient relief.
