Sequelae of Legg-Calve -Perthes disease (LCPD) and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can present a coxa breva or coxa magna deformity, sometimes associated with coxa vara. This unique deformity decreases the efficiency of the abductor mechanism, causing a Trendelenburg gait and hip pain, leg length discrepancy and leads to intra- and extra-articular impingement, and eventually osteoarthritis. Several surgical techniques have been advocated to treat this kind deformity, such as great trochanter transfer, relative femoral neck lengthening. We evaluated primary results of true femoral neck-lengthening
Aims. Ganz’s studies made it possible to address joint deformities on both the femoral and acetabular side brought about by Perthes’ disease. Femoral head reduction
Aims. The aim of this study was to determine the association between knee alignment and the vertical orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the floor. This could be clinically important because changes of femoral neck orientation might alter chondral joint contact zones and joint reaction forces, potentially inducing problems like pain in pre-existing chondral degeneration. Further, the femoral neck orientation influences the ischiofemoral space and a small ischiofemoral distance can lead to impingement. We hypothesized that a valgus knee alignment is associated with a more vertical orientation of the femoral neck in standing position, compared to a varus knee. We further hypothesized that realignment surgery around the knee alters the vertical orientation of the femoral neck. Methods. Long-leg standing radiographs of patients undergoing realignment surgery around the knee were used. The hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) and the vertical orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the floor were measured, prior to surgery and after osteotomy-site-union. Linear regression was performed to determine the influence of knee alignment on the vertical orientation of the femoral neck. Results. The cohort included 147 patients who underwent knee realignment-surgery. The mean age was 51.5 years (SD 11). Overall, 106 patients underwent a valgisation-osteotomy, while 41 underwent varisation
