Three-dimensional model simulating total hip arthroplasty after curved intertrochanteric varus osteotomy. a, b The greater trochanter is deviated upward after the osteotomy. The red arrows indicate the deviated greater trochanter. The black arrows indicate the notch between the femoral shaft and the bone fragment that had moved varus. c, d To simulate the resection of the deviated greater trochanter, a three-dimensional model is generated with the greater trochanter resected all bone proximal to the notch
