Why the study?
Does femoral derotation subtrochanteric osteotomy improve pain and function in patients with posterior extraarticular hip impingement and high femoral version?
Does femoral derotation subtrochanteric osteotomy improve pain and function in patients with posterior extraarticular hip impingement and high femoral version?
Femoral derotation osteotomy is a safe and effective procedure that improves pain and function in patients with posterior extraarticular hip impingement, with high patient satisfaction.
May support use in symptomatic high femoral version; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Femoral derotation subtrochanteric osteotomies for the treatment of posterior extraarticular ischiofemoral hip impingement are safe and improve posterior hip pain and function and external rotation in mostly female patients with high femoral version and a high McKibbin instability index.
