CORRECT


The correct answer is:

FALSE:

The hips must both have a varus osteotomy to obtain symmetry of length and motion, and a pelvic procedure is also required if there is to be a very high likelihood of these hips to be anatomically normal and function symmetrically. The option for the feet is reasonable. The knees also should be addressed, based on the results of a full gait analysis.
