Deformity correction surgery aims to realign and stabilize bones and joints affected by congenital, developmental, or acquired deformities in both adults and children.
1
Osteotomy
Surgical cutting and realignment of bones to correct angular or rotational deformities. .
2
Fixation
Stabilization of corrected bones using internal or external fixation devices such as plates, screws, rods, or external fixators.
3
Soft Tissue Release:
Surgical release of tight or contracted soft tissues to allow for proper realignment of bones and joints.
4
Lengthening
Surgical techniques to lengthen bones or soft tissues, such as distraction osteogenesis using external fixators or lengthening nails.
Deformity correction surgery can improve joint alignment, mobility, and stability, allowing patients to move more comfortably and efficiently. Realignment of bones and joints can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with deformities and joint malalignment. Addressing deformities early can help prevent secondary complications such as osteoarthritis, joint instability, or gait abnormalities. Advanced imaging and planning techniques ensure precise corrections and better long-term outcomes. Postoperative physiotherapy supports faster recovery, improved strength, and restoration of normal movement patterns.
Rehabilitation
Physical therapy is crucial for optimizing strength, flexibility, and function after deformity correction surgery.
Orthotic Devices
Patients may require braces, orthoses, or other assistive devices to support corrected limbs and maintain alignment during the healing process.
Long-term Monitoring
Regular follow-up appointments with the orthopedic team are necessary to monitor healing, assess alignment, and address any recurrent deformities or complications.
