Abstract
In a preliminary report in 1965, Axer proposed femoral varus derotation osteotomy as an alternative method for treating Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Thereafter, this became one of the most popular operative methods in the treatment of the disease. A literature analysis of this method experienced during the years is discussed and the investigator's personal approach is described.
