What is Femoral Osteotomy?
A femoral osteotomy (FO) is a surgical procedure in which a surgeon cuts into the femur and repositions it before pinning it in place. This surgery is used to treat a number of conditions, including congenital and acquired hip deformities. It has been utilized since the early 20th century, and although it is less popular than it once was, femoral osteotomy may be considered as a treatment option for certain conditions. It requires a skilled surgeon, usually an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in surgeries which involve the bone.
