From 1980 to 1993 we inserted 216 total prostheses into hips which had been treated by varus and valgus-extension intertrochanteric osteotomy. The technique of the operation was more difficult than in hips operated on for the first time because of anatomical changes produced by the osteotomy in the surrounding structures. We have had complications which taught us how to prevent and deal with these problems.

Introduction: Numerous orthopaedic procedures including dynamic hip screw plating and various osteotomies require placement of a reference guide pin or K wire to direct bone cuts or for drilling screw holes. Appropriate positioning of these wires is a critical component of surgery. Irrespective of whether one is a seasoned surgeon or an apprentice, these wires often need repositioning and readjustment.

Background: Increased femoral anteversion (FAV) is crucial in the genesis of anterior knee pain (AKP) and a femoral derotational osteotomy (FDO) has demonstrated good clinical results. It remains unclear at what level of the femur the osteotomy should be performed. Resulting degrees of FAV measured by Murphy's method do not always correspond to the degrees that had been planned after an FDO.

Background: Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE), is one of the most common hip disorders in adolescents, and is treated surgically by performing an Imhäuser osteotomy. The use of 3D printed guides has shown promise in improving the accuracy of the osteotomy. However, misplacement of the guide may limit the improvement.

Purpose: Few studies have assessed trochanteric vascularity despite its implications for bone healing and surgical approaches. This study aimed to assess the regional arterial contributions of the medial femoral circumflex artery (MFCA) versus the lateral femoral circumflex artery (LFCA) to trochanteric vascularity.
Methods: Ten adult human cadaveric pelvises to mid-femur specimens were obtained.
