Proximal Femoral Osteotomy

Proximal Femoral Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the upper part of the thigh bone (femur) near the hip joint. The goal is to correct abnormal bone angles or deformities, which can help improve joint function, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. Surgeons make precise cuts to reposition the bone and then secure it with pins or plates to allow proper healing. This procedure is often performed in children or young adults with hip problems like developmental dysplasia or osteoarthritis, aiming to restore better alignment and distribute joint forces more evenly.
