Valgus Intertrochanteric Osteotomy for Femoral Neck Nonunion

J Orthop Trauma. 2019 Aug:33 Suppl 1:S26-S27. doi: 10.1097/BOT.0000000000001520.

Abstract

Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy is an effective method of treating femoral neck nonunion by reducing shear forces at the fracture and correcting the neck-shaft angle. Good outcomes have been reported in the literature. Through careful preoperative planning and a precise operative technique, reliable healing of both the osteotomy and nonunion can be achieved.
