Valgus Intertrochanteric Osteotomy for Femoral Neck Nonunion.

Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy is an effective method of treating femoral neck nonunion by reducing shear forces at the fracture and correcting the neck-shaft angle. Good outcomes have been reported in the literature. Through careful preoperative planning and a precise operative technique, reliable healing of both the osteotomy and nonunion can be achieved.
