| Summary: | Osteotomies can be performed on almost every bone and are commonly encountered indications for imaging studies. These procedures are employed to correct congenital, degenerative, and traumatic osseous deformities, ultimately improving both function and cosmetic appearance. It is crucial for radiologists to be aware of the wide range of surgical osteotomies and to be familiar with reporting clinically relevant imaging findings during surgical planning and post-operative follow-up. In this review, we discuss the indications, techniques, post-operative imaging appearance, and key reporting elements of commonly performed osteotomies, supported by comprehensive illustrative cases. |
