Single-stage open reduction, Salter innominate osteotomy, and proximal femoral osteotomy for the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip in children between the ages of 2 and 4 years.

摘要

The management of neglected developmental dysplasia of the hip in walking children has always been a challenge to orthopedic surgeons. The aim of this study was to access the early clinical and radiographic results of surgical treatment of such cases using one-stage open reduction, Salter innominate osteotomy, and proximal femoral osteotomy. Seventy-one surgeries were performed in 55 patients. Favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes were comparable to other studies. We concluded that this single-stage surgery is a technically demanding, but satisfactory procedure in the management of neglected developmental dysplasia of the hip patients, and when performed adequately in indicated patients in specialized centers, it is expected to give good short-term results.
