[Corrective osteosynthesis of the proximal femur].

Posttraumatic malunions after fractures in the coxal femur area must be corrected if the deformity has reached a certain range, and individual aspects must be considered. Non-weight bearing, painful femoral neck pseudarthrosis absolutely requires osteotomy. With correct technique the deformities can be usually corrected and the results are good. This is shown in our series comprising 83 cases.
