    Abstract:
    Femoral rotary osteotomies according to Sugioka and A. M. Sokolovsky in adults are mostly indicated in case of idiopathic aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. As an indication for child and adolescent operations can serve multiplanar deformations of the femur proximal end following early treatment of congenital dislocations. Perthes disease, in some cases--pathological femur subluxations as well as juvenile epiphysiolysis. 30 adults and 24 children and adolescents aged 3.5-17 years have been operated on. In the majority of cases good and satisfactory results have been achieved. The peculiarity of the rotary osteotomy technique application in childhood is the severance of the greater trochanter with the zone of growth.
