What is a pelvic osteotomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cutting the pelvis: This is usually done for children with a congenitally deformed hip socket. By cutting the pelvic bone around the socket, surgeons can reshape the socket to help the hip joint develop more properly when the shape was not proper.
