A report of two cases treated with Pauwels' femoral osteotomy for advanced osteoarthritis resulting from a sequela of infectious coxitis in childhood.
Pauwels' femoral valgus osteotomy was performed on two osteoarthritic hips that developed as a sequela of infectious coxitis in the childhood. One of the hips was diagnosed as osteomyelitis of the ipsilateral femur before the operation and was treated with curettage and implantation of antibiotic-impregnated cement beads. The results of both hips were excellent and maintained for 9-11 years.
