title: The Swedish experience with Salter's innominate osteotomy in the treatment of congenital subluxation and dislocation of the hip.
abstract: The results of 83 Salter's innominate osteotomies (i.o.) performed to correct congenital subluxation and dislocation of the hip joint in 76 patients were reviewed. The overall radiographic results were classified as excellent or good in 34 hips (41%) and as fair or failure in 49 hips (59%). The best results were obtained in subluxated hips, previously not treated or treated only with closed reduction, prior to i.o. in patients operated on before the age of 5 years. In that group of hips, excellent or good results were obtained in 18 of 20 hips (90%). The poorest results were obtained in hips with residual subluxation or dislocation after previous operation with a result of fair or failure obtained in 26 of 28 hips (93%).
