About Osteotomy Lower Limb

An osteotomy of the lower limb is a precise surgical procedure performed by an orthopedic surgeon to correct deformities, improve alignment, and redistribute weight-bearing forces in the leg. This involves carefully cutting and reshaping one or more bones, such as the femur (thigh bone) or tibia (shin bone), and then securing them in a new, corrected position with plates, screws, or other fixation devices. It is a common solution for conditions like osteoarthritis, bowlegs (genu varum), or knock-knees (genu valgum) that cause pain, instability, and joint deterioration. By realigning the limb, the procedure aims to relieve pain, delay or avoid the need for joint replacement, and restore function and mobility for improved quality of life.

Key Highlights

Realigns the leg to correct deformities and improve mechanical function.Can significantly reduce pain and delay the progression of arthritis.Often preserves the native joint, potentially avoiding or postponing a total joint replacement.Improves stability, gait (walking pattern), and overall mobility.Customizable procedure tailored to the patient's specific anatomical needs.

Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) or pulmonary embolism.
Nerve or blood vessel damage near the surgical area.
Delayed union or non-union (the bone does not heal properly).
Persistent pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion.
Need for further surgery, including possible conversion to a joint replacement.
