  • Title: Varus derotation osteotomy for persistent dysplasia in congenital dislocation of the hip. Proximal femoral growth and alignment changes in the leg.
    Author: Suda H, Hattori T, Iwata H.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1995 Sep; 77(5):756-61. PubMed ID: 7559705.
    Abstract:
    We studied the morphological changes in the proximal femur in 42 patients (42 hips) who had had varus derotation osteotomy of the upper femur for residual acetabular dysplasia and congenital subluxation of the hip and who did not show deformity of the head of the femur. In 19 patients the alignment of the whole leg was examined. The femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA) at the final examination was unrelated to that immediately after operation or to the state of the acetabulum at that time. The postoperative FNSA was not related to the final result but the CE angle obtained at surgery influenced the outcome. The femoral length did not differ significantly between the unaffected and affected sides. Significant differences were found in the femorotibial angle (176.6 degrees v 174.5 degrees) and in the point of intersection between the mechanical axis and knee (65.0% v 57.2%).
