OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare the pelvic biomechanics of patients who underwent Salter innominate osteotomy (SIO) for one hip and Pemberton pericapsular osteotomy (PPO) for the other hip. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-seven of 126 patients who received a one-stage procedure involving SIO for one hip and PPO for the other hip were included in this series. Preoperative x-rays, archived rep...

We have divided Severin group-V severely dysplastic hips with a false acetabulum into three subtypes, based on the height and shape of the socket. We performed rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) in 19 hips in 17 young adults with a type-1 'low' false acetabulum which had direct contact with the true acetabulum. This is a periacetabular osteotomy which gives acetabular coverage with articular...

BACKGROUND Various osteotomies have been introduced to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The purpose of this study was to compare surgical parameters, postoperative limb length discrepancy, and minimum 5-year clinical and radiological results between transtrochanteric curved varus osteotomy (TCVO) and transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy (TRO) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head. M...

There is no definite protocol in management of Pipkin fracture in relation to operation approach and internal fixations. The aim is to explore the therapeutic effects of internal fixation with Herbert screws for the treatment of Pipkin type I and type II femoral head fractures through the trochanteric flip osteotomy (TFO) approach. From January 2010 to December 2014, 12 cases of type I and II P...

PURPOSE Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a term used to cover a broad spectrum of anomalies ranging from mild dysplasia to high-riding dislocations. We report the management of DDH in children using the Dega osteotomy and their long-term follow-up. METHODS Fifty-eight hips from 48 children younger than 8 years treated using the Dega osteotomy between January 1988 and October 2000 w...

BACKGROUND Hip reconstructive surgery in cerebral palsy (CP) patients necessitates either femoral varus derotational osteotomy (VDRO) or pelvic osteotomy, or both. The purpose of this study is to review the results of a moderate varisation [planned neck shaft angle (NSA) of 130°] in combination with pelvic osteotomy for a consecutive series of patients. METHODS Patients with CP who had been t...
