title: Interim follow-up studies of innominate osteotomy for congenital dislocation of the hip.
abstract: Innominate osteotomy alone without any adjunctive procedures was performed for congenital dislocation of the hip in 30 children. A complete follow-up study of an average of four years and nine months was obtained for 20 hips in patients. These interim results were quite gratifying. Clinical and radiologic assessments by a score system of Trevor and associates revealed that 85% of the hips that had been operated upon were functionally satisfactory. There were three cases of redislocation which were classified as resulting from technical failures.
