Outcome of closed wedge varus derotation osteotomy with trochanteric apophysiodesis in perthes disease

Conclusions: VDRO is an effective containment method of femoral head for patients belonging to the Herring's Group B and also effective in many patients belonging to Herring's Group C. It is a good procedure to attain containment in children <9 years of age. Trochanteric apophysiodesis reduces risk of limping.
