Osteotomy of Finger

Effective finger deformity correction through osteotomy

Osteotomy of the finger is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping the bone in the finger. This procedure is typically done to correct deformities or abnormalities in the finger, such as a crooked or misaligned joint. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes an incision in the skin over the affected joint. They then use specialized tools to cut and reshape the bone, and may use screws, plates, or other devices to hold the bone in place while it heals. After the surgery, the patient will need to wear a splint or cast to immobilize the finger and allow it to heal properly. Physical therapy may also be necessary to help restore mobility and strength in the finger. Overall, osteotomy of the finger is a complex procedure that requires a skilled and experienced surgeon, but can be highly effective in correcting finger deformities and restoring function.
