ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of distal transfer of the greater trochanter in patients with a high-standing greater trochanter as a sequela of LCP disease. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Between 1994 and 2005, ten cases (nine patients) underwent distal transfer of a highstanding greater trochanter and were followed up for more than 2 years after surgery. The clinical findings, such as the abduction of the hip, VAS score, and Trendelenburg sign, were evaluated. In addition, the centrotrochanteric distance (CTD) and Lever arm ratio (LAR) were used for the radiographic assessment.

RESULTS:

The mean range of abduction improved from 27.5degrees to 40degrees , and the VAS score improved from 4.1 to 1.2. Seven cases with positive Trendelenburg sign before surgery showed negative Trendelenburg sign after the surgery. At the last follow-up, the CTD improved from -1.52 cm to -0.2 cm and the LAR decreased from 2.2 to 1.8.

CONCLUSION:

The distal transfer of the greater trochanter in patients with a high standing greater trochanter as a consequence of LCP is an effective procedure that can reduce the level of hip pain and improve the hip abduction if careful patient selection is performed.
