I have Fibular Hemimeilia and I had my Surgary this year I am missing my Fibula and Tiba bone!
Varus osteotomy involves the medial (inner) section of the knee at the top of the tibia. Valgus osteotomy involves the lateral (outer) compartment of the knee by shaping the bottom of the femur.
An osteotomy is a surgical operation whereby a bone is cut to shorten, lengthen, or change its alignment. It is sometimes performed to correct a hallux valgus, or to straighten a bone that has healed crookedly following afracture. It is also used to correct a coxa vara, genu valgum, and genu varum. The operation is done under ageneral anaesthetic.In this case, it is the fibula bone (in the calf) that is undergoing the surgical operation of lengthening, shortening, or aligning. The fibula is the shorter bone in the lower leg next to the tibia.

Osteotomy - cutting through the humerus near the elbow, realigning the elbow & lower arm relative to the upper arm, followed by fixation with orthopedic implants (plates). There are several ways to perform the osteotomy. The most common is closing wedge osteotomy. Others are step-cut osteotomy and dome osteotomy. Dome osteotomy makes the most sense because it doesn't lead to slight shortening of the arm compared to the other methods. I had dome osteotomy done on my left arm to correct cubitus valgus that resulted from a childhood dislocation-cum-fracture. Surgery was done at the Severance Hospital in Seoul, Korea by Dr Choi Yun-Rak. He did a fantastic job.
There is atrial fibrillation, an abnromal cardiac rhythm in which the atria do not contract properly. However, there is no such entity as fibular heart disease.
An osteotomy corrects a hip deformity by cutting and repositioning the bone, most commonly in patients with misalignment of certain joints or mild osteoarthritis.
A hip osteotomy is performed under general anesthesia. Once the patient has been anesthetized, the surgeon makes an incision to expose the hip joint.
A hip osteotomy is performed in a hospital by surgeons who specialize in the treatment of hip disorders, such as reconstructive orthopedic surgeons, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, and physiatrists.
