Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We reviewed 28 hips in 14 patients with severe bilateral idiopathic medial femoral torsion which had been corrected by intertrochanteric rotation osteotomy using crossed pins for fixation and a hip spica. There were 10 girls and 4 boys with a mean age of 7 years and 9 months. All had functional and cosmetic disability before operation. The average follow up was for 3 years and 9 months. Full correction was achieved in 27 hips. In one partial avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurred one year after operation and was treated by an acetabular augmentation procedure with a satisfactory outcome. |
