Intertrochanteric Osteotomy (Valgus/Varus)
Osteotomy can be considered when the distribution of the necrotic area is suitable for reducing weight-bearing by adjusting the force line, the articular surface is basically preserved, and it is expected to delay joint degeneration. Whether to implement it depends on the extent and location of necr

How Intertrochanteric Osteotomy (Valgus/Varus) is performed
This procedure is a joint-preserving treatment, suitable for those with local lesions and acceptable cartilage conditions. A common practice is to perform osteotomy at the intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric area under image localization, adjust the femoral force line and load area, so that the necrotic area is transferred to a relatively non-weight-bearing surface, and internally fix it with steel plates or screws. Postoperative monitoring includes wound, distal blood supply, and bone healing, combined with staged weight-bearing and rehabilitation training. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital plan.
