👉 Osteectomy is a surgical procedure that removes bone from a joint. It is often used to treat injuries or conditions that affect bones, such as fractures or dislocations. In osteectomy, a surgeon makes a hole in the affected area and removes the damaged bone with instruments. This can be done by using a scalpel, an instrument called a drill, or other specialized tools. Osteectomies are commonly performed on joints such as knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, and ankles.
