[Valgus osteotomy in treatment of osteoarthrosis of hip (author's transl)]. 1979

H Schmelzeisen, and S Weller, and U Holz, and U Knapp, and U Pfister

The article reports on Bombelli's theory on the genesis of arthrosis of the hip. Clinical experience has shown that valgus and extension osteotomy is indicated in dysplasia arthrosis, in cystic changes and formation of osteophytes. Although the good clinical results cannot be accepted as a proof of the biomechanical deliberations, they do extend the range of indications pointing to surgery of the diseased hip joint performed for the purpose of preserving the femoral head.
