Treatment of acetabular dysplasia by triple pelvic osteotomy and its short-term results
Abstract
Objectives: We evaluated the effect of triple pelvic osteotomy on acetabular coverage and its clinical implications by clinical and radiographic parameters in patients with acetabular dysplasia.
Methods: Triple pelvic osteotomy was performed in 21 hips of 19 patients (13 females, 6 males; mean age during operation 16.3 years; range 8 to 32 years). Acetabular dysplasia was bilateral in two, and unilateral in 17 patients. Etiology was developmental dysplasia of the hip in 12 patients, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease in five patients, and diplegic and quadriplegic cerebral palsy in two patients, respectively. The patients were clinically evaluated by the modified Merle d’Aubigne-Postel system, and radiographical assessments were made using nine parameters. The mean follow-up period was 27.7 months (range 14 to 60 months).
Results: According to the modified Merle d’Aubigne-Postel system, preoperative and postoperative clinical scores were 13.14 and 15.29, respectively (p
