Osteoclasis is the surgical fracture of a bone to correct a deformity. Diaclasis is another term.
A surgical fracture of a bone is a controlled cut created in a bone in order to re-align a structural deformity or to create mechanical stability from a weakened part. Sometimes the cut is made all the way through the bone and sometimes part way.
Long bones also have an anatomical site on the bone called the surgical neck which can be confusing since some "surgical fractures" are made at the surgical neck of the bone.
