Osteotomy foot surgery in Dubai encompasses various procedures designed to address foot and ankle deformities, injuries, and diseases. One common type of foot surgery is osteotomy, where bones are precisely cut and repositioned to correct deformities and alleviate pain. This procedure is particularly effective for conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, or arthritis, as it helps to realign bones and restore proper foot function.
At American Hospital Dubai, our specialized toe and foot surgeons are skilled in performing osteotomy and other advanced foot surgeries. We prioritize precision, safety, and patient comfort throughout the treatment process, ensuring optimal outcomes and improved quality of life for our patients.

Severe bunions or hammertoes
Arthritis causing joint damage
Congenital foot deformities
Trauma-related injuries
Failed previous foot surgeries
Chronic foot pain impacting daily activities
What Happens During Foot Surgery & Osteotomy?
During this procedure:
1. Anesthesia: The anesthesia given to make sure the patient feels no pain may be either local regional or general.
2. Incision and Bone Cutting: A precise incision is made over the affected area by a surgeon who then carefully cuts the bone back into place again.
3. Realignment and Fixation: These bone segments are moved back into their correct positions before being secured using screws, plates, or pins made from fixation devices.
4. Closure: After suturing up the wound then bandaging it and keeping it immobile will promote the healing process.
5. Post-surgery guidelines must be followed properly to facilitate the healing process.
Maintaining proper aftercare is vital for a successful recovery from foot surgery and osteotomy. Patients should:
Follow the weight-bearing restrictions and walk with crutches or as advised.
Elevate the Foot: Elevate your feet so that swelling goes down faster and heals quicker.
Take Medications as Directed: Ensure you adhere to the pain management and infection prevention medicine schedule.
Go for Follow-Up Visits: The surgeon must see you regularly so that they can follow how you are healing and address any concerns.
Physical Therapy – Perform recommended exercises by a physical therapist to help regain strength, flexibility, and function.
