Having analysed their experience in surgical treatment of 196 patients with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head (263 hip joint operations) the authors specify the indications for performing corrective intertrochanteric osteotomies of the femur, work out their tactics of differential approach and summarize the long-term results of the treatment. It has been established that the possibility of obtaining a positive result makes 84.5% if correct indications for the operation are observed.
