  • Title: [Radical reduction for developmental dislocation of the hip (Cakirgil's procedure)].
    Author: Kinik H, Mergen E.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc; 2007; 41 Suppl 1():47-53. PubMed ID: 17483623.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the so called "radical reduction of the hip" (Cakirgil's) procedure for children above four years of age, with high developmental dislocation of the hip. The procedure is a combined one-stage operation including adductor tenotomy, open reduction, femoral shortening, proximal femoral varus-derotation osteotomy and Dega's osteotomy. Radical reduction is a safe and effective procedure for high dislocations with shallow acetabulum.
