Osteotomies used for various deformities of the femur. The femoral shaft is usually transected distal to the lesser trochanter, as shown by the transverse solid line in (A). A dotted line demonstrates the most distal possible level of the osteotomy. A. Proximal shortening osteotomy with distal advancement of the greater trochanter (vertical solid line) in hips with a previous proximal Schanz osteotomy. B. Segmental shortening with angular correction for hips with a previous, more distal Schanz osteotomy.
