BACKGROUND: The extended trochanteric osteotomy has been a useful approach for @entity1 undergoing revision @entity572 ; however, it has not been well described as an approach for those undergoing complex primary @entity572 . The purpose of the present report is to describe our experience with the use of an extended trochanteric osteotomy for @entity1 undergoing complex primary @entity572 . METHODS: Six @entity1 underwent primary @entity572 with use of an extended trochanteric osteotomy. The reasons for the use of this technique included severe @entity85 , removal of intraosseous hardware, and high-riding developmental @entity572 . A fully porous-coated femoral component with diaphyseal fixation was used for all reconstructions. The mean age of the @entity1 at the time of surgery was fifty-six years. Clinical and radiographic evaluation was performed at a minimum of two years. RESULTS: After a mean duration of follow-up of fifty months, all @entity1 had an osseointegrated, stable femoral component. The site of the extended trochanteric osteotomy healed in five of the six @entity1 . One @entity1 had nonunion at the osteotomy site and a @entity174 at the base of the greater trochanter, with a subsequent @entity3330 . The mean Merle D'Aubign   and Postel @entity158 and walking scores improved from 2.2 and 2.3 preoperatively to 5.3 and 4.7 at the time of the final follow-up (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The extended trochanteric osteotomy is useful for the correction of @entity85 and facilitates the removal of intraosseous hardware in carefully selected @entity1 undergoing complex primary @entity572 .
