title: Combined pelvic osteotomy for deformed dysplastic acetabula: a 5-year prospective study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess clinical and radiological results of combined pelvic osteotomy (CPO) for deformed dysplastic acetabula.
  
  
  METHODS
  Nine girls and 3 boys, aged 28 to 54 months, underwent CPO (combination of innominate osteotomy and Lance acetabuloplasty) to restore both the original shape and the mal-alignment of the acetabulum. They were followed up for at least 5 years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All patients attained concentric stable reduction with good acetabular cover.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CPO corrected both deformed and dysplastic acetabula and prevented postoperative subluxation.
