Evulsion Surgery: Types, Recovery Time, and Benefits

Evulsion is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased or damaged bone or bony tissue. It is usually performed when the bone is severely infected, non-healing, or causing pain and disability. The goal of the procedure is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent further complications.

There are different types of evulsions, including:

1. Bone evulsion: This involves removing a portion of the bone that is damaged or infected.
2. Osteotomy: This involves cutting and realigning the bone to correct deformities or improve joint alignment.
3. Bone resection: This involves removing a portion of the bone to relieve pressure on surrounding tissues or to remove a tumor.
4. Bone grafting: This involves replacing the removed bone with healthy bone tissue from another part of the body or using a synthetic bone graft material.

Evulsion is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay. The recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual's overall health. Physical therapy is usually necessary to regain strength and mobility in the affected limb.
