Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping a bone to correct deformities or to improve joint function. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, fractures, and bone tumors. Osteotomy can be performed on any bone in the body, but is most commonly used on the hip, knee, and spine. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the skin and then cut the bone to the desired shape. The bone may then be held in place with screws, plates, or wires.
Osteotomy is a specialized procedure that requires a highly trained surgeon and specialized equipment. It is often used in combination with other treatments such as physical therapy, medications, and joint replacement surgery.
Companies in the Osteotomy market include Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Smith & Nephew, DePuy Synthes, and Medtronic. Show Less Read more
