Derotation Surgery?

Hi there, I have to go for a Derotation Surgury soon.
I broke my femur in 3 places 15 years ago and now, I am told my hip problems are because when my femur bone healed it was rotated inwards.
They want to ‘rebreak’ my leg and rotate it to the correct rotation. Anyone heard of this before?
