Joint preservation surgery
The goal is to preserve the natural joint whenever possible, avoiding premature joint prostheses or fusions.
A timely diagnosis can make all the difference in your recovery.
Joint preservation surgery encompasses a set of surgical techniques that aim to correct a pathology without replacing or fusing the affected joint. These procedures, therefore, respect the patient’s natural joint, maintaining its mobility and functionality to the extent possible.
One of the most common techniques in this type of surgery is realignment osteotomy, which allows the shape and orientation of the bone to be modified to correct deviations and improve joint mechanics. This procedure involves a controlled cut in the bone to displace it, change its axis, or modify its length, in order to relieve joint overload and prevent progressive joint deterioration.
Dr. Campillo uses state-of-the-art technology, applying custom cutting guides and patient-specific plates in complex cases to achieve the best possible outcomes.
