Osteotomy definition

Sometimes the bone around the old femoral implant has to be cut into sections before being removed, in a process called an osteotomy.

There is no difference in the reported clinical results of medial displacement posterior calcaneal osteotomy and lateral column lengthening.

Sometimes a wedge of bone is taken out (closing wedge osteotomy ).

Proximal metatarsal osteotomy will give a good correction of the deformity combined with a distal soft tissue correction of the deformity combined with a distal soft tissue correction.

A combined posterior medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy and Evans osteotomy was used, with transfer of FDL to the medial cuneiform and TA lengthening.
