    Summary

    Greater trochanteric advancement (GTA) surgery effectively corrects hip overgrowth in children. This orthopedic procedure improved pelvic instability in most patients with minimal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Biomechanical Analysis

    Background:

    • Greater trochanteric overgrowth can lead to secondary pelvic instability.
    • The Trendelenburg sign indicates significant biomechanical hip dysfunction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of greater trochanteric advancement (GTA) in children with trochanteric overgrowth and pelvic instability.
    • To present clinical and radiologic prerequisites for successful GTA.
    • To detail radiographic measurement techniques for assessing surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 33 GTA procedures in 31 children with trochanteric overgrowth.
    • Preoperative and postoperative radiographic analysis to measure trochanteric displacement and overgrowth.

  • Clinical assessment of pelvic instability (Trendelenburg sign) and surgical complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean lateral displacement of 12.1 mm and distal displacement of 21 mm were achieved.
    • Pelvic instability resolved in 25 out of 30 evaluated patients.
    • Low complication rate, including mild myositis, broken hardware, and delayed union.

    Conclusions:

    • Greater trochanteric advancement is an effective surgical treatment for pediatric trochanteric overgrowth causing pelvic instability.
    • Careful patient selection and surgical technique are crucial for optimal outcomes.
    • GTA provides significant biomechanical correction and functional improvement in children.
