Corrective Osteotomy: Planning to Shift Force, Not Just Shape

Simini Podcasts Season 1 Episode 29

In this episode of BoardsCast, we dive into the principles of corrective osteotomy — and why it’s not just about straightening a limb, but redirecting load to restore function.

We explore:

  • The role of mechanical axis, anatomic axis, and joint orientation lines
  • How deformity affects loading and cartilage wear
  • Why identifying the CORA is critical for precise correction
  • Planning for single-plane and multi-plane corrections
  • Fixation considerations after angular realignment
  • Common mistakes and how to avoid creating new deformities

This is essential listening for residents tackling angular limb deformities, post-traumatic malunions, or growth disturbances — and for any surgeon who wants to cut with confidence.
