Between 1971 and 1985, 30 children (35 hips) with premature closure of the subcapital growth plate were treated with trochanteric advancement. After 6 (3–8) years, 25 children (30 hips) were reviewed. Of the 30 hips, 27 had had one or more operations before the trochanteric advancement. All the trochanters fused without complication. Trendelen-burg's sign was positive in 24 hips preoperatively and became negative postoperatively. The hip abduction was increased in 28 of the 30 hips reviewed.Downloads
