title: [The indication for intertrochanteric osteotomy of the femur based on late results (author's transl)].
abstract: 57 intertrochanteric osteotomies of the femur were performed in 43 patients during childhood. A statement about late radiographic results is made, based upon follow-up examination after cessation of growth of the upper end of the femur. Attention was given to the development of the CCD-angle, the AC-angle, the CE-angle as well as the development of antetorsion. Further-more the evaluation included the development of the caput-epiphyseal angle as well as the development deformities of the caput femoris. The data presented show that satisfactory results can be obtained through Bernbeck's method and also through the presently used derotation-varisation-osteotomy involving wedge removal. However, the results show that the correction of CCD-angle and antetorsion alone frequently is not sufficient. Thus the acetabulum deserve greater consideration is discussing intertrochanteric osteotomy in childhood.
