Clinical Trial Summary

One of the most common problems in the treatment of pediatric patients with various disorders of the hip joint is the formation of deformity of the proximal femur, such as abnormal growth of the greater trochanter, which causes it to be positioned high in relation to the femoral head. This condition is called "relative overgrowth of the greater trochanter" (ROGT).
