Through 17 years ten patients were treated for psychologically unacceptable tallness by bilateral femoral shortening. All were young adults between 17 and 28 years; one was acromegalic, one had Marfans syndrome and the other were tall for unknown reasons. The amount of shortening obtained was between 6 and 16 cm. One patient was reoperated bilaterally because of insufficient stability of the pin and plate fixation. All patients healed without significant complications. For exclusive cases, which have been carefully observed over several months, bilateral shortening seems to be a safe procedure either with midshaft shortening and Küntscher nailing or subtrochanteric femoral shortening with pin and plate fixation. At review all patients were satisfied with their decision to be surgically shortened. Similar cases seem not to have been published.
在17年的时间里，有10名患者因心理上难以接受的身高过高而接受了双侧股骨缩短手术治疗。所有患者均为17至28岁的年轻成年人；其中1例为肢端肥大症患者，1例患有马凡综合征，其余患者身高过高原因不明。缩短的长度在6至16厘米之间。1例患者因髓内针和钢板固定稳定性不足而进行了双侧再次手术。所有患者均愈合良好，无明显并发症。对于经过数月仔细观察的特殊病例，无论是采用股骨干中段缩短及Küntscher髓内钉固定，还是转子下股骨缩短并使用髓内针和钢板固定，双侧缩短似乎都是一种安全的手术方法。在复查时，所有患者对接受手术缩短的决定都很满意。类似病例似乎尚未见报道。
