About Osteotomy Thigh

An osteotomy of the thigh 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). This involves carefully cutting and realigning the bone to improve limb alignment, joint function, and gait. It is a crucial intervention for conditions that, if left untreated, can lead to early arthritis, pain, and disability. The goal is to restore normal biomechanics, alleviate discomfort, and prevent long-term joint damage, allowing the child to participate fully in physical activities. The procedure is tailored to the child's specific growth and skeletal maturity.

Key Highlights

Corrects significant leg length discrepancies and angular deformities (like bowlegs or knock-knees).Improves joint alignment and biomechanics to prevent early-onset arthritis.Alleviates pain and enhances mobility and walking pattern (gait).Customized to the child's specific growth stage and skeletal maturity.Aims to restore normal function and allow full participation in physical activities.

Who is this surgery for?

Severe Blount's disease (tibia vara) affecting the femur.
Post-traumatic malunion or deformity of the femur.
Congenital femoral deficiency or other developmental dysplasia.
Significant rotational deformities (excessive femoral anteversion or retroversion) causing gait issues.
Angular deformities (genu valgum - knock-knees, or genu varum - bowlegs) not responsive to bracing.
Leg length discrepancy requiring correction.
Deformities secondary to metabolic bone diseases (e.g., rickets).

How to prepare

Comprehensive orthopedic evaluation including physical exam and detailed gait analysis.
Imaging studies: Full-length standing X-rays (scanogram) and possibly CT scans for precise surgical planning.
Pre-operative blood tests and a general medical clearance.
Discussion with the family and child (age-appropriate) about the procedure, goals, and recovery.
Planning for post-operative pain management and mobility assistance (crutches, wheelchair).
Fasting as instructed by the surgical team prior to the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

Standard surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Nerve or blood vessel injury, which could affect sensation or blood flow.
Delayed union or non-union of the osteotomy site (bone not healing properly).
Hardware irritation or failure (plates, screws).
Over-correction or under-correction of the deformity.
Deep vein thrombosis (blood clot).
Stiffness of the knee or hip joint.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay for initial pain control, monitoring, and physical therapy instruction.
Use of crutches or a walker with strict non-weight-bearing or partial weight-bearing as advised.
Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor bone healing and alignment.
Formal physical therapy to restore range of motion, strength, and proper gait.
Wound care and monitoring for signs of infection.
Gradual return to activities; full impact sports are restricted until complete healing is confirmed.
Possible removal of hardware in a subsequent minor procedure once healing is solid.

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

PATIENT REVIEW

Navya Sharma is a cheerful 8-year-old...

Navya Sharma is a cheerful 8-year-old girl from Jaipur who loves dancing, especially Bharatnatyam. For the past two years, her parents noticed her left knee was starting to turn inward, causing a noticeable limp and making dance positions difficult and painful. She was often tired and complained of her thigh aching after practice. After consultations, she was diagnosed with a progressive Blount's disease, a growth disorder affecting her tibia that was causing a severe bowleg deformity. Her pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Mehta, explained that an osteotomy of her thigh bone (femur) was necessary to realign her leg and prevent early arthritis. Navya was scared of surgery and worried she'd never dance again. The procedure involved carefully cutting and realigning her femur, held with a plate and screws. Her recovery required six weeks in a cast, followed by intensive physiotherapy. A year later, Navya's legs are straight, her gait is normal, and she is back to dancing without pain. The emotional journey was tough; she felt frustrated and isolated during recovery. But with her family's support and seeing her own progress, she regained her confidence and joy, now performing with even more grace.
