    Abstract:
    Between 1965 and 1974 at the Orthopaedic Clinic of the University of Perugia, 20 osteotomies of the innominate bone were performed on 18 patients aged between 18 months and 10 years. All the patients were followed up for 10 to 19 years (average 15 years) after operation. The results were evaluated both clinically and radiographically (according to the Severin and MacFarland methods). The data were later submitted to computer analysis, using a semiautomatic aquisition programme which allowed for evaluation of the geometry of the hip. The most important parameters for evaluation of the results were the Wiberg CE angle, the acetabular angle, the minimum joint space, and the horizontal component of the resultant force. Clinically and radiographically there was an 80% success rate according to Severin's method of evaluation. There was also good correlation with the computerized analysis. Biomechanically, there was almost normal recovery of the load distribution. The clinical, radiographic and biomechanical parameters worsened slightly with age, particularly during puberty.
