Deformity Surgery

Deformity surgery is a set of special surgical procedures performed to correct congenital or acquired bone and joint deformities.

Common deformities in children are as follows:

• Foot and knee deformities (genu varum/valgum, pes planus, equinus, etc.)
• Hip development problems
• Limb shortness or curvature

Applied surgical techniques:

• External fixator/Ilizarov method: Gradual lengthening and redirection of the bone
• Hemiepiphysiodesis Providing corrective development by redirecting growth plates
• Osteotomy: Correction and fixation by cutting bone

Such surgeries usually involve long and patient recovery processes. However, with proper planning and disciplined follow-up, children can become functionally independent and balanced.
