Varus osteotomy hip: Definition, Uses, and Clinical Overview
Varus osteotomy hip is a surgical bone-cutting procedure that changes the angle of the upper thigh bone near the hip. “Varus” means the bone is repositioned so the limb angles slightly inward relative to the hip. It is most commonly used in hip preservation surgery, especially in pediatric and young adult orthopedic care. The goal is to improve hip mechanics by changing how the femoral head sits and loads inside the socket.
