Femoral neck lengthening osteotomy according to Morscher

Femoral neck lengthening osteotomy is indicated, in case of coxa vara, if the neck of the femur is too short and the greater trochanter is too long. The principle consists of lengthening the femoral neck by carrying out a lateralization of the diaphysis and a displacement external of the greater trochanter, This allows the leg to be lengthened and the abductors see their function improve.
