About Osteotomy Shoulder

An osteotomy of the shoulder is a specialized orthopedic surgical procedure designed to correct significant bone deformities or malalignments in the shoulder joint. Primarily performed on the humerus (upper arm bone) or the scapula (shoulder blade), this surgery involves carefully cutting and repositioning the bone to restore proper joint mechanics, alleviate pain, and improve function. It is often considered for younger, active patients with conditions like severe arthritis, instability, or fractures that have healed incorrectly. By realigning the joint surfaces, an osteotomy can delay or even prevent the need for a total shoulder replacement, offering a durable solution for restoring shoulder mobility and quality of life.

Key Highlights

Preserves the patient's natural shoulder joint, potentially delaying or avoiding a joint replacement.Effectively corrects bone deformities and malalignments to restore proper biomechanics.Significantly reduces chronic shoulder pain and improves overall joint function.Can enhance stability in cases of recurrent shoulder dislocations or instability.Offers a durable, long-term solution for younger, active individuals.

Who is this surgery for?

Severe osteoarthritis of the shoulder where joint preservation is desired.
Malunion (improper healing) of a previous shoulder or humerus fracture.
Glenoid dysplasia or other congenital bone abnormalities affecting the shoulder.
Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) of the humeral head in early stages.
Recurrent shoulder instability or dislocations due to bony defects.
Certain cases of rotator cuff tear arthropathy where realignment can improve function.

How to prepare

Comprehensive medical evaluation, including detailed imaging (X-rays, CT scan) to plan the precise bone cuts.
Review of all current medications; discontinuation of blood thinners as advised by the surgeon.
Pre-operative physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and optimize post-surgery recovery.
Arranging for assistance at home during the initial recovery period.
Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery as per hospital protocol.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Nerve or blood vessel injury around the shoulder, potentially causing weakness or numbness.
Non-union or delayed union of the osteotomy site (bone fails to heal properly).
Hardware irritation from plates or screws used for fixation.
Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the shoulder joint.
Persistent pain or the need for further surgery, including eventual shoulder replacement.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial immobilization in a sling for 4-6 weeks to protect the healing bone.
Strict adherence to a structured physical therapy program, starting with gentle pendulum exercises and progressing to active strengthening.
Pain management with prescribed medications and use of ice packs to reduce swelling.
Avoidance of lifting, pushing, or pulling with the operated arm for several months.
Regular follow-up appointments and X-rays to monitor bone healing and alignment.
Gradual return to normal activities and sports as approved by the orthopedic surgeon, often over 6-12 months.

Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full functional recovery
