Osteoplasty is the branch of surgery concerned with the surgical alteration, reshaping, or grafting of bone. Percutaneous osteoplasty uses injected bone cement to reduce pain and improve mobility in patients with metastatic bone disease, while resection osteoplasty reshapes bone around the hip and thigh as part of joint preserving procedures that aim to keep a joint working naturally rather than replacing it.
