The aim of trauma and corrective osteotomy is the surgical correction of injuries, malunions and bone deformities.
At Mediversal Clinics’ private traumatology and corrective osteotomy practice in Szeged, we specialise in the modern surgical treatment of complex bone injuries and conditions resulting from improper healing. If you experience persistent pain, instability, problems with a metal implant, a non-healing fracture or malalignment, a specialist examination can help identify the cause of your complaints and determine the appropriate surgical solution.
Trauma and corrective osteotomy specialises in the management of complex cases where the aim is not merely to heal the bone, but to restore the limb’s full function and balance.
The aim of these procedures is to reduce pain, restore stability and ensure that the limb can bear weight and function reliably in the long term.
At Mediversal Clinics, surgical procedures are supported by detailed planning, experienced traumatologists and a comprehensive rehabilitation programme that is unique in the country, providing patients with expert supervision and personalised therapy at every stage of their recovery.
Plates, screws and other implants used in the surgical fixation of fractures are designed to promote bone healing. In certain cases, however – following recovery or in case of complaints – it may be necessary to have them removed.
The aim of the procedure is to alleviate the complaints, reduce soft tissue irritation and ensure that the limb functions comfortably and can bear weight.
The need for surgery is always determined by a consultation with a specialist and the results of imaging tests. At Mediversal, no two cases are the same: we assess each patient’s condition individually and draw up a personalised surgical and rehabilitation plan to achieve the best possible outcome.
The procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthesia. Before surgery, X-ray is used to assess the level of bone healing and the position of the implant.
The surgeon exposes the affected area using a gentle technique along the previous incision, thereby minimising trauma to the soft tissues.
The surgeon removes the plate and/or screws using special instruments, taking care to protect the bone and surrounding areas.
Following wound closure, gradual weight-bearing may start after a short observation period. Recovery is supported by Mediversal’s comprehensive, personalised rehabilitation programme, ensuring a swift and safe return to everyday activities.
During the procedure, the previously implanted fixation plate and the connecting screws are removed. This may be particularly justified if the plate causes pressure complaints, soft tissue irritation or restricted movement.
If the problem is caused solely by one or more screws, targeted removal can be performed with a smaller exposure. Assessment of stable bone condition is a prerequisite in all cases.
The aim of corrective bone surgery is to correct malunions, malalignments and bone deformities so that the limb can once again bear weight in a stable and pain-free manner.
If the symptoms do not improve with conservative treatment, surgical correction may provide a lasting solution.
As no two anatomical or functional abnormalities are the same, every corrective procedure at the Mediversal Clinics private clinic is planned on a case-by-case basis. The aim in every case is to restore stable, pain-free movement in the long term within a superior care setting.
The procedure is preceded by thorough clinical examination and diagnostic imaging. The aim of the operation is to precisely restore the alignment of the joints and to ensure long-term stability and weight-bearing capacity.
The surgeon cuts through the bone in a controlled manner at the planned correction point.
The surgeon positions the bone in the optimal position and then stabilises it using plates, screws or a special fixation system.
Following the operation, a gradual return to physical activity can start, supported by Mediversal’s comprehensive, personalised rehabilitation programme, with the aim of achieving full functional recovery.
Major bone fusion surgery is primarily required when a fracture does not heal properly (resulting in the formation of a pseudarthrosis), there is a significant bone defect, or stable bony union is not achieved despite previous surgical fixation.
These procedures are complex operations that require precise planning and extensive experience, with the aim of restarting bone healing and restoring limb stability.
Performing major bone fusion surgery requires a particularly high level of professional expertise. At the Mediversal Clinics private clinic, these procedures are performed by experienced traumatologists, based on a personalised surgical plan, in a superior setting, with the aim of ensuring long-term stability and weight-bearing capacity.
If the bone’s natural healing process is hindered, surgery may be necessary to restore stability.
Based on imaging tests and clinical assessment, the surgeon determines the extent of the bone defect, the method of fixation and the technique to be used.
During the operation, the surgeon removes the unstable or poorly healed bone section, as well as any previous implants if necessary.
The surgeon joins the bone ends using a stabilising fixation system (plates, screws, and special instruments). If necessary, the healing process can be supported using the patient’s own bone or a bone substitute material.
Following the procedure, gradual, controlled exercise can start. Mediversal’s comprehensive rehabilitation programme supports patients throughout the entire process of bone healing and functional recovery.
