May support trochanteric advancement after Perthes' disease; leaves open its role in congenital dislocation and requires prospective trials.
Does trochanteric advancement improve outcomes in patients with premature arrest of the femoral capital growth plate due to Perthes' disease or congenital dislocation?
Trochanteric advancement yields satisfactory results in late treatment of Perthes' disease but is less favorable for congenital dislocation deformities.
