Abstract
In a rare case of progressive bilateral valgus-slipped capital femoral epiphysis, modified Imhauser-Weber osteotomies were carried out. The osteotomies allowed for significant varus correction and thus included shortening of the neck and distal transfer of the greater trochanter. The planning technique of the complex osteotomy is discussed. At 5-year follow-up the patient had a gratifying result.Entities:
