About Osteotomy Hip

A hip osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to correct structural deformities of the hip joint by cutting and realigning the bone. It is primarily used to treat conditions like hip dysplasia, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and early-stage arthritis in younger patients, aiming to preserve the native joint and delay or avoid the need for a total hip replacement. The surgery involves precise reshaping of the acetabulum (socket) or femur (thigh bone) to improve joint mechanics, reduce pain, and restore function. This joint-preserving approach is a key option for active individuals seeking to maintain mobility and an active lifestyle.
