The correct answer is:
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.
