“Osteoplasty” refers to a surgical process involving the modification, shaping, contouring, resection, resurfacing, smoothing, removal, or augmentation of bone tissue. Osteoplasty may be performed to correct deformities, restore function, improve biomechanics, relieve pain, or prepare bone for fixation, implantation, or reconstruction. The process may include removal of bone eminences, leveling of joint surfaces, reshaping of cortical or cancellous regions, contouring of articular margins, or other procedures directed at modifying bone geometry. Osteoplasty may be performed manually, mechanically, or with powered instruments, and may employ cutting, abrading, drilling, rasping, sawing, or similar techniques, depending on the surgical objective.
