Abstract
The indications for corrective osteotomies of the proximal femur after trauma can be discussed only in general terms. Preoperative constraints, the technically and biomechanically correct conduct of the operation, and the morphologic and clinical course form a unique pattern that is unlikely to be repeated from one case to the next. Thus, the presentation of individual case histories is as important in a didactic sense as is the knowledge of general rules.
