Corrective Procedure (Osteotomy)
Surgical correction of an underlying bony prominence that repeatedly causes corns — addresses the root cause for permanent relief from recurrent foot corns.
What is Corrective Procedure (Osteotomy)?
Osteotomy is a corrective surgical procedure in which a small portion of the underlying bone — typically a metatarsal head or other prominence — is reshaped or partially removed to relieve the pressure that repeatedly causes corns. This addresses the root cause of recurrent corns when conservative measures and corn excision alone have not given lasting relief. Osteotomy is performed under local or short anaesthesia with structured post-operative footwear and recovery. Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs corrective osteotomy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, in coordination with foot and ankle specialists when needed.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Marking
Local or short general anaesthesia is given. The bony prominence is identified using examination and imaging if needed.
Small Skin Incision
A carefully placed small incision is made over the bony prominence.
Bony Reshaping
Using fine surgical instruments, a portion of the bone is gently shaved or repositioned to relieve pressure on the overlying skin.
Wound Closure
The wound is closed in layers with absorbable sutures and skin glue, ensuring tension-free healing.
Special Footwear & Recovery
Post-operative footwear or padding is fitted to offload the area. Most patients are discharged the same day with weight-bearing advice.
Outcomes

When the same corn keeps coming back, the answer is rarely the corn itself — it is the bone underneath. A small osteotomy quietly removes that pressure point, and the patient often realises only later just how much it had been limiting their walking.
