title: [Compensatory processes of the proximal end of the femur bone after treatment of epiphysiolysis by cross osteotomy].
abstract: The aim of this paper was to investigate compensation processes of the proximal femoral end in 22 hip joints with II degrees and III degrees epiphyseolysis treated by cross osteotomy of the neck of the femur. After removal of retroversion and in most of the joints inferior displacement by osteotomy, progressive processes of modeling of the proximal femoral end, which recovered the correct outlines of the femoral neck and the axial relations of the head and the neck, were observed. Compensation processes contributed of growth found in some of the cases, due to premature closing of the sub-head epiphyses to improvement of treatment results of epiphyseolysis. On the other hand, disturbances physeal cartilage, made the late evaluation of the joint worse. It has been concluded on the basis of the author's own observations as well as data from literature that the result after surgical treatment of epiphysiolysis depends not only on obtained correction of displacement but also on compensation processes and growth disturbances of the proximal femoral end.
