About Osteotomy Forearm

An osteotomy of the forearm is a precise surgical procedure performed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons to correct significant angular or rotational deformities in a child's forearm bones (radius and/or ulna). This involves carefully cutting and realigning the bone to restore proper anatomical alignment, improve function, and prevent long-term complications like arthritis or limited mobility. Commonly used to address conditions present from birth or resulting from injury, this procedure aims to enhance wrist and elbow function, correct visible deformity, and support normal growth. It is a cornerstone of pediatric orthopedic care for restoring upper limb alignment and optimizing a child's long-term musculoskeletal health.

PATIENT REVIEW

Sai Iyer is a cheerful 8-year-old...

Sai Iyer is a cheerful 8-year-old boy from a close-knit family. An avid cricket fan, he dreams of becoming a bowler. Over the past two years, his parents noticed his left forearm developing a pronounced inward curve, a condition called Madelung's deformity. While not painful, it was becoming visibly different from his right arm and starting to limit his ability to fully rotate his wrist, affecting his cricket grip. His pediatric orthopedist, Dr. Sharma, explained that the bones in his wrist were growing unevenly. She recommended a radial osteotomy, a surgery to carefully cut and realign the forearm bone, to correct the deformity, prevent future pain and arthritis, and restore his wrist function. The surgery went smoothly. Sai spent two nights in the hospital, bravely managing discomfort with medication. His arm was in a cast for six weeks, during which his classmates signed it and his family helped him adapt. After cast removal and dedicated physiotherapy, Sai regained remarkable wrist rotation. A year later, the curve is nearly gone, and he can grip a cricket ball properly. Emotionally, Sai transitioned from feeling self-conscious about his 'different' arm to proud of his 'strong' arm. His confidence soared, and he now plays cricket with his friends without hesitation.
