What is an osteotomy ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that consists of correcting the axis of the lower limb by making a controlled bone cut, followed by precise realignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to rebalance joint pressures in order to relieve a worn, painful or overloaded area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than replacing the joint, osteotomy allows it to be preserved by modifying the way in which stresses are exerted on the cartilage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is part of a conservative surgery approach, particularly for young and active patients who wish to delay joint replacement as much as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
