About Osteotomy Femur

An osteotomy of the femur is a precise surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to correct deformities, improve alignment, or redistribute weight-bearing forces in the thigh bone (femur). This involves carefully cutting and repositioning the bone, which is then stabilized with plates, screws, or other internal fixation devices. It is a common solution for conditions like osteoarthritis, congenital deformities, or malunions from previous fractures. The goal is to relieve pain, restore proper joint mechanics, and delay or prevent the need for a total joint replacement. This procedure requires detailed pre-operative planning with imaging to ensure optimal outcomes for improved mobility and function.
