About Osteotomy Hand

Osteotomy of the hand is a precise surgical procedure performed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons to correct bone deformities in children's hands. It involves carefully cutting and realigning one or more bones in the hand or wrist to improve function, alleviate pain, and enhance appearance. This procedure is commonly used to address congenital conditions, post-traumatic malunions, or growth-related deformities. By restoring proper bone alignment, osteotomy aims to optimize hand mechanics, prevent long-term joint damage, and support normal development. The surgery is tailored to the child's specific anatomy and needs, often utilizing advanced imaging for planning to ensure the best possible outcome for improved grip, dexterity, and overall hand use.

Key Highlights

Corrects bone alignment to improve hand function and dexterity.Alleviates chronic pain caused by joint stress and deformity.Prevents the progression of arthritis and long-term joint damage.Enhances cosmetic appearance and can improve a child's confidence.Tailored to the child's growing anatomy for age-appropriate correction.Uses precise surgical techniques, often guided by pre-operative imaging./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Congenital hand deformities such as clinodactyly (curved finger) or symbrachydactyly.
Malunion following a hand or wrist fracture that healed in a poor position.
Angular deformities (e.g., Madelung's deformity) affecting wrist alignment.
Arthritic conditions in adolescents causing joint deformity and misalignment.
Growth plate injuries (physical bars) leading to progressive bone bending.
Certain syndromes (e.g., Apert syndrome, arthrogryposis) involving hand bone abnormalities.

How to prepare

Comprehensive consultation with a pediatric orthopedic surgeon to discuss goals and risks.
Detailed imaging studies, typically X-rays, and sometimes CT scans for surgical planning.
Pre-operative blood tests and a general physical exam to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
Discussion of anesthesia (usually general) with a pediatric anesthesiologist.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery as instructed.
Arranging for post-operative help and time off school for the child.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
Bleeding, bruising, or hematoma formation.
Nerve or blood vessel injury, potentially leading to numbness or circulation issues.
Stiffness, scarring, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Delayed union or non-union of the bone (failure to heal).
Need for further surgery due to under-correction, over-correction, or hardware issues.
Risks associated with general anesthesia.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial immobilization in a cast or splint for several weeks to protect the healing bone.
Pain management with prescribed medications, especially in the first few days.
Elevation of the hand to reduce swelling.
Strict keeping of the cast/splint dry and intact.
Follow-up X-rays to monitor bone healing and alignment.
Gradual initiation of hand therapy (occupational or physical) to regain strength, motion, and function once the bone is stable.
Avoidance of contact sports and heavy lifting for several months as advised by the surgeon.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for bone healing, with full functional recovery taking several months

PATIENT REVIEW

Diya Iyer is a bright and...

Diya Iyer is a bright and artistic 8-year-old from Mumbai. She loves drawing and painting, but for the past two years, her right index finger has been curving inward (clinodactyly) at the middle joint, making it difficult to hold a pencil properly and causing her pain during art class. Her parents noticed the progressive deformity and her increasing frustration when her drawings didn't match the beautiful pictures in her mind. Dr. Mehta, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, explained that the bone in her finger was growing unevenly. He recommended a closing wedge osteotomy, a precise procedure to cut and realign the bone, to straighten the finger, relieve pain, and restore function. Diya was nervous before the surgery, scared of the 'cutting' part. The procedure went smoothly under anesthesia. She wore a small cast for four weeks, followed by gentle physiotherapy to regain movement. A year later, her finger is straight, strong, and pain-free. She can grip her pencils and paintbrushes perfectly. The emotional journey was significant: from feeling self-conscious and frustrated to gaining confidence and joy in her artistic expression. Her parents moved from worry to immense relief seeing their daughter create without limitation.
