Correction of Deformities

Bone Deformity Correction Surgery in C-scheme, Jaipur

The deformity can be a disfigurement of any part of your body. A deformity looks different or abnormal from the other parts of your body. It can be caused due to injury, genetic disorder or complications during birth. It may occur in your legs, arms, spine or ankle.

If your deformities are creating serious problems or affecting the quality of your life, your doctor may recommend medications or surgery. Deformities can be corrected by straightening the bones that are disfigured and look abnormal.

How to correct deformities?

Deformities can be corrected in two different ways. Your doctor will recommend the best surgery for you depending on the severity of your deformity.

Surgical treatment: In this surgical procedure, the deformity will be corrected at once. This is also called an acute correction.

Non-surgical treatment: During this procedure, deformities will be corrected over months or weeks using external fixators or devices. This is also called a gradual correction.

This surgery at Apollo Spectra, Jaipur may be conducted under local or general anaesthesia. During the surgery, your surgeon will create two separate parts of the bone by cutting the bone. This process to cut a bone is called an osteotomy. This will help your surgeon to straighten the deformed bone. Screws, metal rods or plates can be used to hold the deformed bone in its new corrected position. The internal devices may be removed during your second surgery.

During the gradual correction of deformities, your doctor may recommend external devices or fixators to straighten the deformed bone. This process may take weeks or months. In this process, the bone segments are pulled apart and straightened. This gradual process of straightening your bone is called distraction. This will help to generate a new bone.

Your doctor may recommend physical therapy after you heal to strengthen your bones and improve mobility of your bones.
