Ostectomy Partial Excision Procedure
Ostectomy, partial excision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of part of a bone from the foot. This procedure is recommended for patients where complete removal of the bone is not necessary, but partial removal can alleviate symptoms or correct certain conditions. A partial ostectomy is typically performed on patients who suffer from arthritis, a fracture, or another orthopedic foot condition.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
A partial ostectomy of the foot is considered medically necessary for patients who are dealing with extreme pain as the result of an orthopedic foot condition. Upon diagnosis, the doctor will typically recommend that patients experiment with different conservative therapies. A partial ostectomy is considered if these nonsurgical methods do not work, but the complete removal of the bone is not medically necessary.

What To Expect
Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. Before performing the partial ostectomy, a thorough evaluation is conducted to determine the extent and location of the bone damage. During surgery, specialized tools are used to cut and shape the bone precisely, and any jagged edges or bony prominences are carefully smoothened out.
Following surgery, patients will undergo a period of immobilization using casts or braces, which aids in promoting bone healing and overall stability. Physical therapy is an integral part of the recovery process and focuses on strengthening the surrounding muscles, improving the range of motion, and restoring normal gait patterns. Additionally, pain management techniques, including medication and icing, are commonly utilized to help alleviate post-operative discomfort and swelling.
