Content
When a surgeon prepares to do an osteotomy, they take care to prepare for the surgical procedure by gathering as much information as possible about the patient’s anatomy, the surgical procedure, the instrumentation that will be used, and any implants to be used such that the goals of the surgical procedure can be realized. This preparation helps because once an osteotomy is performed changing or remediating the impact of the osteotomy can be challenging and can take time for bones to heal and recover. Thus, a surgeon seeks to perform osteotomies that are only in the desired locations, with the desired trajectories, and to a desired depth. The goal of the osteotomies is to provide a correction and/or relief for a patient.
