Spinal Osteotomies

---

Spinal osteotomies are specialized surgical procedures designed to correct severe spinal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or sagittal imbalance that cannot be managed by less invasive treatments.

What are Spinal Osteotomies?

During a spinal osteotomy, Dr. Midhun Jose carefully removes or reshapes sections of bone in the spine to realign and correct abnormal curvatures or deformities. This allows restoration of proper spinal balance, improved posture, and relief from pain caused by deformity or nerve compression.

Who Needs Spinal Osteotomies?

These complex surgeries are typically recommended for patients with:

• Severe or rigid spinal deformities

• Post-traumatic spinal deformities

• Deformities causing significant pain, disability, or neurological symptoms

• Failed previous spinal surgeries

• Conditions like ankylosing spondylitis causing fixed spinal curves

Types of Osteotomies

There are various types of spinal osteotomies, ranging from less invasive bone resections to more extensive vertebral column resections. The choice depends on the deformity’s severity and location.

Benefits of Spinal Osteotomies

• Corrects severe spinal deformities and restores alignment

• Improves pain, mobility, and overall function

• Relieves nerve compression caused by abnormal spinal anatomy

• Enhances quality of life in patients with disabling deformities
