CORRECT


The correct answer is:

TRUE:

The large posterior surface of the femoral head remained intact, therefore she is a good candidate for a Sugioka osteotomy. A Sugioka osteotomy was performed with 90 degrees of anterior rotation and 15 degrees of varus angulation. After post-operative non-weight-bearing for 4 weeks, and partial-weight-bearing for 6 weeks, she has had neither limping nor pain so far.
