[Treatment of post-traumatic coxa vara in adolescents and adults]

The authors have proposed a method of surgical treatment of posttraumatic coxa vara. The treatment was given to 19 patients aged 16 to 43 years. The essence of the operation consists in oblique intertrochanteric osteotomy of the femur, osteotomy of the lesser trochanter and a muscular pedicle graft formation from the lesser trochanter which is used in grafting the defect observed after the correction of the spatial position of the proximal end of the femur.
