Summary

This study details a minimally invasive surgical technique for bone lengthening and deformity correction using a Gigli saw, preserving the periosteum. The Gigli saw osteotomy is a safe and effective alternative for long bone procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Osteotomy is a common surgical procedure for bone lengthening and deformity correction.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly preferred to reduce patient morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a minimally invasive periosteum-preserving osteotomy technique using a Gigli saw.
  • To present the indications, contraindications, and surgical technique for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • The technique involves selecting the osteotomy site, making small incisions, and using a Gigli saw for bone cutting.
  • Care is taken to preserve the surrounding soft-tissue sleeve and periosteum during the procedure.

Main Results:

  • Thousands of procedures have been performed since 1980 without serious complications.
