About Deformity Correction Surgery

Deformity Correction Surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed to restore normal anatomical alignment and function to bones and joints affected by congenital defects, traumatic injuries, or progressive conditions. Performed by orthopedic surgeons, this surgery involves precise techniques like osteotomies (bone cutting), internal or external fixation, and sometimes bone grafting to realign the skeletal structure. It aims to alleviate pain, improve mobility, correct limb length discrepancies, and prevent long-term joint degeneration. Common applications include correcting bowlegs, knock-knees, clubfoot, and spinal deformities like scoliosis. The approach is highly personalized, utilizing advanced imaging for planning to ensure optimal outcomes and enhanced quality of life for the patient.
