I was thinking of the operation for knee arthritis that involves cutting a wedge in the leg bone to straighten the knee and reduce pressure on the worn side. But for all I know, any alteration to the bone may be called osteotomy.

Good luck with your recovery, it sounds like a pretty dire procedure.
