Derotational Femoral Osteotomy (DFO): A Surgical Solution for Femoral Torsion and Hip Pain
Derotational Femoral Osteotomy (DFO) is a surgical procedure used to correct abnormal femoral version—an often-overlooked cause of chronic hip pain, instability, and failed prior hip surgery. By realigning the femur, DFO can relieve pain, restore function, and preserve the native hip joint in young, active patients.
