VDRO Varus Derotation Osteotomy Pune
At Sancheti Hospital, we perform VDRO varus derotation osteotomy to correct hip deformities, restore alignment, and improve mobility in children and adults.
What is VDRO (Varus Derotation Osteotomy)?
VDRO surgery (Varus Derotation Osteotomy) is a specialized paediatric orthopaedic procedure performed to correct hip deformities in children, most commonly in conditions like cerebral palsy, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), or hip instability. The surgery involves cutting and realigning the femur (thigh bone) to change its angle (varus correction) and rotate it into a better position (derotation).
This procedure helps place the femoral head securely into the hip socket, preventing dislocation and improving stability. By correcting the bone’s alignment, VDRO surgery improves hip function, reduces pain, and allows children to sit, stand, and walk with better posture and comfort.
Benefits of VDRO Surgery
- Corrects hip deformities and improves joint alignment
- Reduces the risk of hip dislocation in children with cerebral palsy or DDH
- Improves mobility, sitting balance, and walking ability
- Reduces pain caused by hip malalignment
- Enhances long-term hip stability and function
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Requires a recovery period of several months with physiotherapy support
- Risk of complications such as infection, stiffness, or delayed healing
- Metal plates or screws may be required and sometimes need removal later
- Some children may require additional corrective procedures as they grow
