An osteotomy around the hip is a surgical procedure used to correct biomechanical alignment and load transmission. There are various types of osteotomies of the proximal femur classified by displacement of the distal fragment, anatomical location, and indication. Common osteotomies include McMurray's displacement osteotomy, Pauwel's varus/valgus osteotomy, and Salter's innominate osteotomy. The goal of osteotomies is to improve joint congruity, relieve pain, and correct deformities around the hip joint.
