Posterior iliopsoas transfer: a treatment for some myelodysplastic hips.
A retrospective study of our 16-year experience in utilizing posterior iliopsoas transfer as treatment for the neurogenic dislocated hip is presented. Fifty-four surgically treated hips are compared with 20 hips treated nonoperatively. Maintenance of location was achieved in 84% of the operated hips. All of the postoperative dislocations can be explained by failure of the surgeon to adhere to the essentials of tendon transfer.
