How Subtrochanteric Femoral Valgus/Rotational Osteotomy is performed
This procedure is used to adjust the femoral alignment and the stress on the femoral head. Usually, a directional osteotomy is completed below the trochanter, valgus and/or rotation are performed according to the plan, and internal fixation such as steel plates and screws is used. Intraoperative fluoroscopy is used to correct the alignment; if necessary, it is combined with acetabular surgery. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and limb perfusion. Follow-up imaging is performed to assess stability, with the goal of improving containment and gait. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
