Abstract
Twelve patients ranging in age from 10 to 35 years have undergone 14 Ganz Osteotomies. The surgical approach used to define the anatomy is described and questions asked as to its safety with regard to the vascularity of the acetabular segment.
The complications encountered in the learning curve of this operation are described together with the early outcomes.
