About Osteotomy

An osteotomy is a precise surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to correct bone deformities, improve joint alignment, and redistribute weight-bearing forces. It involves the strategic cutting and repositioning of a bone, which is then stabilized with plates, screws, or other fixation devices to heal in its new, corrected position. Commonly performed on the knee, hip, and jaw, this procedure is a crucial alternative to joint replacement for younger, active patients or those with localized arthritis. By realigning the mechanical axis of a limb, an osteotomy can significantly reduce pain, delay the need for more invasive joint replacement surgery, and restore function and mobility for years to come.

Key Highlights

Preserves the patient's natural joint, avoiding or delaying the need for a total joint replacement.Effectively redistributes weight away from damaged cartilage to healthier areas of the joint.Corrects bone deformities and improves limb alignment, which can enhance overall mobility and gait.Often leads to significant, long-term pain relief and improved joint function.Ideal for younger, active patients who wish to maintain a high level of physical activity.

Who is this surgery for?

Early to moderate osteoarthritis localized to one compartment of a joint (like the knee or hip).
Bone deformities such as bowleg (varus) or knock-knee (valgus) alignment.
Congenital conditions like Blount's disease or skeletal dysplasia affecting bone growth.
Malunion (improper healing) of a previous bone fracture.
Certain cases of hip dysplasia to improve joint stability and coverage.
Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) for functional or aesthetic purposes.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and imaging (X-rays, CT scans) to plan the precise bone cut.
Discuss all current medications with your surgeon; you may need to stop blood thinners or NSAIDs.
Cease smoking several weeks before surgery, as it significantly impairs bone healing.
Arrange for help at home and time off work for the initial recovery period.
Follow pre-operative fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight).
Begin pre-habilitation exercises as advised to strengthen muscles around the joint.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) or pulmonary embolism.
Nerve or blood vessel damage near the surgical site.
Delayed union or non-union of the bone (failure to heal properly).
Over-correction or under-correction of the deformity.
Persistent pain, stiffness, or loss of range of motion in the joint.
Hardware irritation, which may require a second surgery for removal.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for pain management and monitoring.
Use of crutches or a walker for 6 to 12 weeks to keep weight off the healing bone.
Engagement in a structured physical therapy program to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor bone healing progress.
Gradual return to low-impact activities over several months; high-impact sports may take 6-12 months.
Management of swelling with ice, elevation, and compression as directed.
Adherence to prescribed medications for pain and blood clot prevention.

Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full functional recovery
