    Osteotomy Procedure Overview:

    Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping bones to correct deformities which in turn helps in relieving the pain, and improving the function. The common osteotomy indications include osteoarthritis, misalignment from fractures, or congenital bone malformations, that can be performed on various joints like the knee, hip, and jaw. By realigning the bones, osteotomy can help distribute weight more evenly across a joint, reducing wear and tear and delaying the need for joint replacement. Osteotomy surgery recovery typically involves a period of immobilization followed by rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility.

    Types of Osteotomy:

    • Jaw Osteotomy: Corrects jaw misalignment, correcting the upper (maxilla) and lower (mandible) jaw issues like overbite or underbite. Types include LeFort, mandibular, sagittal split, and maxillary osteotomy.
    • Chin Osteotomy: Reshapes the chin to address issues like length or projection. It involves cutting and repositioning the jawbone.
    • Hip Osteotomy: Reshapes the hip socket or femur head to realign weight-bearing surfaces. Types include periacetabular and femoral osteotomy.
    • Knee Osteotomy: Reshapes the shinbone or thigh bone to shift weight and pressure, often to treat early-stage arthritis.
    • Big Toe and Foot Osteotomies: Corrects issues like bunions or claw toes. Techniques include Chevron and Akin osteotomies, Dwyer osteotomy, Weil osteotomy, and Cotton osteotomy.
