FEMORAL SHORTENING BY "OBLIQUE-STEP" OSTEOTOMY AND INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION

Kenneth G. Jones M.D.1

1 Little Rock, Arkansas

1. Secure internal fixation can be provided by the Hansens-Street intramedullary nail alone after femoral shortening if the oblique-step osteotomy is used.

2. Normal function of the extremity can be restored more certainly and at an earlier date by the technique described than may be expected from other methods of femoral shortening.
