Effect of Distal Transfer of the Greater Trochanter in Growing Animals

FREDERICK C. EWALD M.D.1 and KENJI HIROHASHI M.D.1

Five pedigree beagle puppies underwent distal transfer of one greater trochanter with its intact epiphyseal plate. This resulted in no significant change in over-all growth of the femir, no change in the degree of anteversion of the femoral neck and no gross distortion in the configuration of the greater trochanter. There was, however, an 18 per cent decrease in diameter of the femoral neck. This strongly suggests injury to the portion of the continuous epiphyseal plate between the greater trochanter and capital femoral epiphyseal plate that contributes to the growth in diameter of the femoral neck.
