Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping bones to correct deformities or improve function. It is commonly performed on the knee, hip, or jaw to relieve pain, restore alignment, or enhance mobility. The surgery can help treat conditions like arthritis or congenital deformities. During an osteotomy, the surgeon makes an incision to access the affected bone, then cuts it and repositions the segments. The bone is often stabilized with plates, screws, or rods. Recovery may involve physical therapy to regain strength and mobility, and the procedure can significantly improve a patient's quality of life.
