Derotational femoral osteotomy locations and their influence on joint reaction forces in dysplastic hips.

ABSTRACT: Femoral version (FV) deformities are common in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and may contribute to cartilage damage due to abnormal joint loading. Derotational femoral osteotomy (DFO) surgery corrects FV deformities. However there is little consensus about the femoral transection location for DFO, and its influence on joint loads is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two common DFO locations on muscle forces and hip joint reaction forces (JRFs) in patients with DDH. DFO was simulated in nine patients with DDH and abnormal FV using patient-specific musculoskeletal models. Femoral transection for DFO was separately simulated proximal and distal to the lesser trochanter and FV values were corrected to an idealized 15°. JRFs during early a
