After developmental dislocation of the hip, Perthes disease, bacterial coxitis, and other pediatric hip conditions, the femoral neck may develop short, with an overgrowth of the greater trochanter. Forty-four patients with trochanter overgrowth (47 hips) ages 6 to 17 years underwent surgery. Trochanteric epiphysiodesis was performed in 13 patients (group A), distal transfer of the greater trochanter in 24 patients (26 hips; group B), and femoral neck lengthening osteotomy in 7 patients (8 hips; group C).
