Premature closure of proximal femoral epiphyseal plate can be a complication of hip dysplasia, Perthes disease, trauma or septic arthritis of hip. It may eventually result in Coxa vara and shortening of the femoral neck and upward migration of greater trochanter. Morscher’s osteotomy is an intertrochanteric osteotomy that can create valgusization with the lengthening of the femoral neck, correction of high riding greater trochanter and compensates for short limb length as a single stage procedure. The purpose of this case report is to evaluate early results of Morscher’s osteotomy fixed using pediatric dynamic hip screw in adolescence.
