Severe femoral head deformities due to Perthes' disease are characterized by limitation of ROM, pain, and early degeneration, eventually becoming intolerable already in early adulthood. Morphological adaptation of the acetabulum is substantial and complex intra- and extraarticular impingement sometimes combined with instability are the underlying pathologies. Improvement is difficult to achieve with classic femoral and acetabular osteotomies. Since 15 years we have executed a head size reduction. With an experience of more than 50 cases no AVN of the femoral head was recorded. In two hips fracture of the medial column of the neck has been successfully treated with subsequent screw fixation. The clinical mid-term results are characterized by substantial increase of hip motion and pain reduction. Surgical goal is to obtain a smaller head, well contained in the acetabulum. It should become as spherical as possible and the gliding surface should be covered with best available cartilage. Together, it has to be accomplished under careful consideration of the blood supply to the femoral head. In the majority of cases acetabular reorientation is necessary to optimize joint stability. Femoral head segment resections without guidance is difficult. Therefore, 3D-simulation for cut direction and segment size including the implementation of the resultant osteotomy configuration was developed using individually manufactured cutting jigs. First experience in five such cases have revealed good results. The forthcoming steps are the improvement of computer algorithm and automation. Goal is that with first cut decision the other cuts are automatically determined resulting in optimal head size and sphericity
