Osteotomies (Femur/Tibia)

Femur Tibia Osteotomy Surgery Pune

We at Sancheti Hospital provide femur and tibia osteotomy to realign bones, reduce pain, and restore mobility with advanced orthopedic precision.

What is Osteotomies (Femur/Tibia)?

An osteotomy surgery is a corrective orthopaedic procedure in which a bone is cut and realigned to improve function, relieve pain, or correct deformities. In children and young patients, osteotomies of the femur or tibia are often performed to correct congenital or developmental deformities, limb length discrepancies, or misalignments caused by trauma or disease.

Depending on the condition, different types of osteotomies may be performed, including tibial osteotomy surgery, fibular osteotomy surgery, femoral osteotomy, high tibial osteotomy surgery, and even bimaxillary osteotomy surgery (for jaw alignment issues). Among these, osteotomy knee surgery is commonly done to correct knee deformities like bow legs (genu varum) or knock knees (genu valgum).

The aim of these surgeries is to restore proper alignment, improve mobility, delay or avoid joint replacement, and allow children to grow with better function and posture.

Benefits of Osteotomy Surgery

  • Corrects bone deformities and restores proper alignment
  • Relieves joint pain and reduces stress on cartilage
  • Improves mobility, walking ability, and posture
  • Delays or avoids the need for joint replacement in young patients
  • Enhances quality of life and long-term bone health

Limitations and Disadvantages

  • Recovery may take several months and requires physiotherapy
  • Risk of complications such as infection, stiffness, or incomplete correction
  • Some patients may still require additional surgery later in life
  • Strict post-operative care and regular follow-ups are essential

Yes. In younger patients, osteotomy is preferred as it preserves the natural joint and delays the need for joint replacement.

Initial healing takes about 6–8 weeks, but full recovery and return to sports or active play may take 3–6 months with physiotherapy.
