The first step is to amputate the femoral neck (Line 1), and the second step is to perform oblique osteotomy of the greater trochanter (Line 2) along the inner side of the greater trochanter and the upper edge of the femoral neck to the greater trochanter and the lateral femoral cortical bone, forming the soft tissue cuff of the gluteus medius and lateral femoral muscles, ensuring that the amputated greater trochanter bone has a good blood supply, and then the force arm of the gluteus medius muscle can be adjusted as needed when the greater trochanter is fixed
