Femur and Acetabulum Osteotomy Surgeries

Femur and acetabulum osteotomy surgeries are surgical procedures used in the treatment of hip joint problems.

Femur Osteotomy Surgery: Purpose, Procedure and Recovery Process
Femur osteotomy surgery is a surgical procedure performed on the femur (thigh bone). The purposes of this surgery may be:

Correction: Femoral osteotomy may be used as a corrective surgery for cases where the femur is at an abnormal angle. This can help correct bone deformities.

Hip Joint Osteoarthritis: In cases such as hip joint calcification or dysplasia, femur osteotomy aims to better align the bones with the joint surface by ensuring proper alignment.

During a femoral osteotomy, the femur bone is cut, trimmed, and then fixed. The recovery process after surgery may include physical therapy and rehabilitation. For this procedure to be successful, it must be carefully decided whether the patient is a suitable candidate.

Acetabulum Osteotomy Surgery: Purpose, Procedure and Recovery Process
Acetabulum osteotomy surgery is performed to correct the hip joint socket known as the acetabulum. The purposes of this surgery may be:

Hip Dysplasia: Hip dysplasia is a condition in which the hip joint socket develops abnormally. Acetabulum osteotomy can correct this condition.

Hip Joint Instability: When the stability of the hip joint socket decreases or shifts, acetabulum osteotomy aims to better support the joint.

During acetabular osteotomy, the acetabular bone is cut, trimmed and fixed. The postoperative recovery process is customized for the patient and may include physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Both osteotomy surgeries may have different variations depending on the person's specific condition and condition. These surgeries usually require surgical expertise and experience. The patient should be carefully evaluated before and after surgery and the treatment plan should be personalized.
