About Osteotomy Humerus

An osteotomy of the humerus is a precise surgical procedure performed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons to correct significant deformities or malalignments in a child's upper arm bone (humerus). This involves carefully cutting and realigning the bone to restore proper anatomy, improve function, and alleviate pain. Common reasons for this procedure in children include correcting angular deformities from birth conditions, malunions from previous fractures, or rotational issues affecting shoulder and elbow movement. The goal is to promote normal growth, enhance limb use, and prevent long-term joint problems. This specialized surgery requires detailed pre-operative planning with imaging and is tailored to each child's unique skeletal development.

Key Highlights

Corrects significant angular or rotational deformities of the upper arm.Restores proper alignment to improve shoulder and elbow function.Alleviates pain caused by abnormal bone positioning.Prevents long-term joint damage and arthritis.Tailored to a child's specific growth and development.Can significantly improve limb appearance and use./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Congenital deformities of the humerus (present at birth).
Malunion (improper healing) of a previous humerus fracture.
Blount's disease or other growth plate disorders affecting the arm.
Significant rotational deformity (internal or external torsion) impairing function.
Angular deformity (cubitus varus or valgus) from injury or condition.
Progressive deformity that is not correctable with bracing.

How to prepare

Comprehensive consultation and physical exam with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
Detailed imaging studies, including X-rays and possibly a CT scan, for surgical planning.
Pre-operative blood tests and a general health assessment.
Discussion of anesthesia (typically general) with the anesthesiologist.
Instructions on fasting (no food or drink) for a period before surgery.
Planning for post-operative pain management and support at home.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or in the bone.
Bleeding or hematoma (collection of blood).
Nerve or blood vessel injury, potentially affecting sensation or movement.
Stiffness in the shoulder or elbow joint.
Delayed healing or non-union of the bone.
Need for further surgery (e.g., hardware removal).
Anesthesia-related risks.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial recovery in the hospital with pain management and monitoring.
The arm will be placed in a cast or splint for several weeks to protect the bone.
Strict elevation of the arm to reduce swelling is crucial in the first days.
Follow-up X-rays are taken to monitor bone healing.
Once the bone shows sufficient healing, gentle physical therapy begins to restore range of motion and strength.
Gradual return to normal activities and sports as approved by the surgeon, which can take several months.
Regular follow-up visits are needed for up to a year to ensure proper growth and alignment.

Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for initial bone healing; 6-12 months for full recovery and return to sports

PATIENT REVIEW

David Singh is a 14-year-old high...

David Singh is a 14-year-old high school freshman and an aspiring baseball pitcher. For the past two years, he has experienced a gradual, worsening pain in his right shoulder during and after pitching. His throwing velocity and control have plateaued, and he feels a persistent, deep ache. An X-ray and MRI revealed a condition called Little Leaguer's Shoulder, where repetitive stress caused a growth plate injury and a resulting angular deformity in his proximal humerus. His pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, recommended a proximal humeral osteotomy to realign the bone. This would relieve the abnormal stress on the growth plate, reduce pain, and restore proper shoulder mechanics, giving his growth plate a chance to heal correctly and potentially saving his pitching career. The surgery went smoothly. David spent one night in the hospital with his arm in a sling and began gentle physical therapy the next day. For six weeks, he wore a specialized brace. He was diligent with his rehab, starting with pendulum exercises and gradually progressing to strengthening. Nine months post-op, his bone is fully healed, his shoulder is pain-free, and he has been cleared to begin a gradual return-to-throwing program. Emotionally, David was terrified that his baseball dreams were over. The prospect of surgery and a long recovery felt overwhelming. Post-surgery, the initial frustration of being sidelined was tough, but seeing his pain disappear and regaining strength filled him with hope and determination. He now approaches his rehab with a mature focus, grateful for a second chance at the sport he loves.
