Deformity Surgery and Surgical Process

Deformity surgery is a surgical treatment method used to correct congenital or acquired bone and joint deformities. Congenital anomalies, deformities after trauma, developmental disorders, and shape defects caused by musculoskeletal diseases can negatively affect a person’s mobility and quality of life. Deformity surgery aims to provide the patient with a healthier life from both a functional and aesthetic perspective.

Surgical Process:

  • Examination and Diagnosis: The causes and degree of the patient’s deformity are evaluated in detail. Surgical planning is made using imaging methods such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scans.

  • Surgical Planning: A personalized surgical strategy is determined based on the type of deformity. In necessary cases, external fixators, osteotomy (bone correction), plate-screw systems, or prosthetic applications are planned.

  • Surgery: The duration of the operation, performed under general anesthesia, may vary depending on the type of deformity and the correction method. Modern surgical techniques prefer the least invasive methods possible.

  • Post-Surgery Process: Patients are typically monitored in the hospital for several days. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are crucial for increasing the success of the surgery and restoring mobility.

  • Recovery Process: The recovery period may range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the type of deformity. Regular doctor check-ups are necessary to monitor the patient’s condition and ensure the best possible outcome.

Deformity surgery is an important treatment method for enabling individuals to lead a more comfortable and pain-free daily life. Personalized surgical procedures aim to help patients achieve a healthy and balanced skeletal structure.
