    Author: Zerrog B, al-Zahrani S, Ali AA.
    Journal: J R Coll Surg Edinb; 1998 Aug; 43(4):262-4. PubMed ID: 9735652.
    Abstract:
    Twenty paediatric patients with congenital dislocation of the hip were treated with a modification of the classic technique of Salter's osteotomy. Along with open reduction and femoral shortening osteotomy, the resected femoral segment, which measured 10-40 mm in width (mean 16 mm), was used to stabilize the Salter's osteotomy. The patients were aged between 2 and 9 years (mean 3.8 years). After a mean follow-up of 16 months (range 6-60 months) all patients had full bone healing and complete incorporation of femoral bone graft with the acetabulum. No patient had re-dislocation, subluxation or displacement of the graft.
