Abstract
Distal and lateral transfer of the greater trochanter for overgrowth i s performed much more often than is described in the English literatur e. We used this procedure as a preventive measure to eliminate further deterioration of the proximal femoral growth plates in cases of great er trochanteric overgrowth. Our experience with this procedure in 12 c hildren showed overall good results.
