Femoral Head Reduction Osteotomy for Deformed Perthes Head Using Ganz Safe Surgical Dislocation of Hip – A Case Report with 3-Year Follow-up

摘要

Perthes disease often results in a non-spherical deformed femoral head which causes pain, dysfunction, early degeneration, and arthritis in young adults. The importance of preservation of native hip in young adults has been well proven. We report a case of deformed Perthes head treated with femoral head reduction osteotomy using Ganz safe surgical dislocation which is a technically demanding but highly rewarding surgical procedure.
