Abstract
Osteotomies of the proximal femur are relatively simple procedures when they are predicated on accurate, thoughtful planning. Modifying the neck-shaft angle, improving the seating of the femoral head in the acetabulum, altering the tension on the pelvitrochanteric muscles, improving blood flow (e.g., by reducing venous pressure), and the stable fixation of osteotomies have become integral parts of reconstructive surgery of the hip.
