The use of a hydroxyapatite block for innominate osteotomy.
We used hydroxyapatite blocks to keep open Salter innominate osteotomies in 19 children (21 hips), avoiding the need for an autograft taken from the anterior superior iliac spine. Our results were satisfactory, with less deformation of the iliac bone, and a reduction of both blood loss and operating time.
