Abstract
Using a illustrative case, we describe a new surgical approach simplifying implantation of a total hip prosthesis for major proximal femur deformity. The technique uses femorotomy and osteotomy to short circuit the deformation with a non-cemented modular femoral stem with shaft anchorage allowing reconstruction of the proximal femur around the prosthesis, i.e. adaptative femoroplasty.
