title: Radiological results of treatment using an extensive anterolateral approach for developmental dysplasia of the hip: minimum 5-year follow-up.
abstract: To investigate the radiological results using the extensive anterolateral approach in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip. A total of 16 hips with developmental dysplasia of the hip treated by the extensive anterolateral approach were retrospectively reviewed after a minimum follow-up of 5 years. For evaluation, we considered the Severin classification and postoperative complications. At the final follow-up (mean 75.6 months), 14 hips (87.5%) were satisfactory in the Severin classification. Reoperation was performed in only one hip (6.3%) because of redislocation. No femoral head necrosis was observed. Our results were more favorable than those using conventional surgical methods.
