About Osteotomy Leg

An osteotomy of the leg is a precise surgical procedure performed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons to correct significant angular deformities or rotational abnormalities in a child's femur (thigh bone) or tibia (shin bone). The surgeon carefully cuts and realigns the bone, often using internal plates, screws, or an external fixator to hold the corrected position while it heals. This procedure is crucial for restoring proper leg alignment, improving joint mechanics, and preventing long-term issues like early arthritis, pain, and gait abnormalities. It is commonly used to treat conditions like Blount's disease, rickets, or malunions from previous fractures, aiming to provide a stable, functional, and pain-free limb for the child's growth and development.

Key Highlights

Corrects significant leg deformities to improve alignment and gait.Helps prevent future joint damage and early-onset arthritis.Can alleviate chronic pain and improve mobility.Tailored to a child's growing bones for optimal long-term outcomes.Often allows for return to normal physical activities post-recovery.

Who is this surgery for?

Severe bowlegs (genu varum) or knock-knees (genu valgum) not corrected by bracing.
Blount's disease (tibia vara).
Rotational deformities (in-toeing or out-toeing) causing functional problems.
Leg length discrepancies that require angular correction.
Deformities resulting from metabolic bone diseases (e.g., rickets).
Malunions from previous fractures that have healed in a poor position.

How to prepare

Comprehensive orthopedic evaluation with physical exam and detailed imaging (X-rays, possibly CT scan).
Pre-operative blood tests and a general health check-up to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
Discussion of the surgical plan, risks, benefits, and expected outcomes with the family.
Instructions on fasting (no food or drink) for a specified 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, bruising, or blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
Nerve or blood vessel injury near the surgical area.
Delayed union or non-union of the bone (bone not healing properly).
Stiffness of the knee or ankle joint.
Potential for over-correction or under-correction of the deformity.
Risks associated with general anesthesia.
Need for additional surgery (e.g., hardware removal).

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay for initial pain control, monitoring, and physical therapy initiation.
Use of crutches or a walker, with no weight-bearing on the operated leg for several weeks.
A cast, brace, or external fixator will be used to protect the bone during healing.
Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor bone healing and alignment.
Structured physical therapy to restore strength, range of motion, and normal walking pattern.
Gradual return to activities as guided by the surgeon, often over several months.
Pain management with prescribed medications as needed.

Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full recovery and return to sports

PATIENT REVIEW

Sara Das is a bright and...

Sara Das is a bright and active 14-year-old who loves playing basketball for her school team. Over the past two years, her parents noticed a worsening inward bowing of her right leg, a condition known as adolescent tibia vara or Blount's disease. Sara began experiencing increasing knee pain during and after games, and her gait became noticeably awkward. Her pediatric orthopedist, Dr. Evans, explained that the growth plate in her upper tibia was malfunctioning, causing the progressive deformity. He recommended a proximal tibial osteotomy to realign the leg, prevent early arthritis, and relieve her pain. Sara was terrified of surgery and missing her basketball season. The procedure involved carefully cutting and realigning the tibia, held with a plate and screws. Her recovery involved six weeks in a cast, followed by intensive physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion. A year later, Sara's leg is straight, her pain is gone, and she's back on the court. Her emotional journey went from fear and frustration about her changing body and limitations, to resilience during recovery, and finally to joy and confidence upon returning to the sport she loves.
