Exostectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of an exostosis, which is a benign bony growth that can develop on the surface of bones. This procedure is often performed to alleviate pain, improve mobility, or address cosmetic concerns. Exostoses can occur in various locations, including the feet, hands, and spine. The surgery typically involves making an incision over the affected area, carefully excising the bony growth, and then closing the incision. Recovery time varies depending on the location and size of the exostosis, but patients usually undergo rehabilitation to restore function and strength in the affected area.
