[Use of an aiming device and nail-plate osteosynthesis in rotation osteotomies of the femur neck].
During the past four years, the authors have performed 16 anterior rotation osteotomies of the femoral neck in cases idiopathic necrosis of the head of the femur, using the Sugioka technique. There were a number of difficulties in obtaining the planned displacement, satisfactory apposition of the bone ends and sound fixation. An original design of aiming device was made to allow greater accuracy during the operation. Fixation was obtained by a one-piece nail-plate. The surgical technique is described fully. The results have been improved, thanks to this new technique.
