Corrective osteotomy fixation and ligament reconstruction surgery: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

“Corrective Osteotomy Fixation and Ligament Reconstruction Surgery” is a specialised orthopaedic treatment used to address bone deformities, non-healing fractures, and ligament injuries in patients of all ages. The procedure is commonly performed on patients with conditions such as malunited fractures, congenital bone deformities, or ligament damage from trauma. Surgeons begin by carefully cutting and realigning the bone (osteotomy) to its proper position to restore joint function and improve alignment. To secure the bone in place, metal plates, rods, or screws are used, or in some cases, an external fixator may be applied. If necessary, a bone graft is added to promote bone healing and fusion, thereby assisting in the natural growth process.

When ligament reconstruction is part of the procedure, tendon grafts repair or replace damaged ligaments, ensuring proper joint stability. The overall aim of the surgery is to enhance leg strength, correct deformities, and improve mobility. This will ultimately enable the patient to walk and move more naturally, alleviate pain, and improve their quality of life.
