Introduction : osteotomies are surgical procedures designed to correct structural abnormalities. There is a wide range of treatment options, from conservative methods to surgical procedures. The choice will be adapted to the patient's age, aetiology, severity of deformities, and functional objectives.
Surgical procedure : the principle of an osteotomy is to identify the exact location of the deformity and correct it by inducing a bone discontinuity. This procedure is performed using instruments specifically designed to minimise trauma. The surgical approach is also optimised to be as minimally invasive as possible.
Planning and execution : this surgery is carefully planned on the basis of X-rays or, in some cases, a CT scan. The correction carried out during the operation can be guided in real time with radiology or using tailor-made cutting guides. Once repositioned, the bones are securely fixed using metal implants such as plates and screws.
Our commitment : at the Geneva Knee Centre, doctors are committed to using cutting-edge techniques to perform this type of surgery. Their goal is to ensure the optimal correction of deformities, thereby guaranteeing an improvement in quality of life and reduced pain for patients.
