| Abstract | We reviewed 18 hips in 17 patients at a mean of five years after performing Sugioka's transtrochanteric anterior rotational osteotomy for avascular necrosis. The results were satisfactory in only three hips (17%). Twelve hips had been revised by hip replacement, revision was pending in one and two others were unsatisfactory. Hip replacement was not compromised by the previous Sugioka osteotomy. Fifteen hips (83%) had shown further collapse of the femoral head, and we conclude from this and from isotope scans that the osteotomy may have impaired the residual blood supply of the femoral head. It seems that ethnic origin may be a factor in the outcome of this procedure; we have abandoned its use. |
