Osteotomy Procedure
An osteotomy of the ankle and foot is performed to reshape and realign the bones inside the foot. This procedure is typically performed for patients who experience consistent pain when walking or standing. This is most commonly performed on individuals who suffer from conditions such as bunions or other foot or ankle deformities.
¿Cuando es necesario este procedimiento?
An osteotomy of the foot becomes medically necessary when conservative treatment options fail to offer relief or alleviate the symptoms. Patients who experience severe foot deformities, such as bunions, clubfoot, or flat feet, may consider this procedure if their condition causes chronic pain. Additionally, patients with specific conditions like arthritis may benefit from this surgical intervention.

Qué esperar
Patients will be under general anesthesia throughout the procedure to ensure their comfort. The surgeon will make a small incision along the affected area. Depending on the surgical need, the procedure will vary. Generally, during an osteotomy, the surgeon will use specialized instruments to cut away excess bone and reshape it. When the goal of the procedure is achieved, the surgeon will close the incision and the patient will be removed from the anesthesia.
Patients may experience pain at the incision site in the days following the procedure. The surgeon will likely prescribe pain medications to manage any discomfort. Patients are expected to stay off the foot in the weeks following surgery, and can typically join physical activities after 6 months.
