[Repeat intertrochanteric osteotomy in the implantation of a cement-free straight total hip endoprosthesis following previous varization osteotomy. A case report].
Severe deformities of the proximal femur can make it impossible to implant a straight-shaft prosthesis. A correctly aligned axis can be achieved by intertrochanteric osteotomy. The case report described here shows that with exact fitting, the Zweymüller type cement-free prosthesis not only results in stable diaphyseal conditions for its own implantation, but is also a suitable means of achieving a stable internal osteosynthesis of two diametaphyseally proximal fragments.
