Pediatric acetabular dysplasia is common in orthopedic practice. Femoral de-rotational varus osteotomy (FDVO) is one of the surgical options suggested for treatment. In this article, we describe a simplified surgical technique of performing FDVO percutaneously using a pediatric Limb Reconstruction System external fixator, and we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the technique.
