  • Title: [Results of the treatment of congenital hip dislocation using Salter's open repositioning and pelvic osteotomy].
    Author: Heine J, Felske-Adler C.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1985; 123(3):273-7. PubMed ID: 4050036.
    Abstract:
    In this paper the results of Salter's innominate osteotomy combined with an open reduction are shown on the basis of radiographic and clinical investigations. From 1969-1976 43 hips up to the age of 3.11 years had been treated after Salter's method. At the follow-up 65.6% of the hips were found to have normal or slightly pathological AC angles. 63.4% of the hips show good and fair results concerning the ACM angle. The results of the CE angle and the 'hip value' are disappointing: only just 34.1% of the hips can be considered good or fair. This is a consequence of the high rate of preoperative avascular necrosis on the one hand, on the other hand it is based on the fact that most of the cases had had a previous non-operative or operative treatment.
