Correct foot deformities with osteotomy surgery
Osteotomy of the foot is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping the bones of the foot to correct deformities and improve function. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making an incision in the foot to access the affected bone. The surgeon then uses specialized instruments to carefully cut and reshape the bone, often using screws or other hardware to hold it in place. Osteotomy of the foot can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including bunions, hammertoes, and other foot deformities. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure, but patients typically need to keep weight off the affected foot for several weeks and may need to wear a cast or specialized shoe during the healing process. With proper care and rehabilitation, most patients can expect to regain full function of their foot within a few months.
