ABSTRACT:
A method of performing a femoral neck-lengthening osteotomy is disclosed. A cut is made in the proximal end of the femur, generally parallel with the sagittal plane and substantially bisecting the proximal end of the femur. The resulting, relatively movable femoral sections are diverged to lengthen the femoral neck. In a modification, the femoral neck is also torsed by relative rotation of the two femoral sections. A wedge is inserted between the thus-diverged and, optionally, rotated sections, and the desired configuration is fixed in a suitable manner.
