Abstract

<br/><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Background: </span><br/><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;">The prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. Several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. In this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results. </span><br/> <br/>Methods: <br/><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early weight bearing was </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;">started. </span></span></span><br/>Results: <br/><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;">The Harris Hip Score, limb length, center-edge angle, and acetabular inclination showed improvement. </span></span></span><br/>Conclusion: <br/><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Arial; font-size: xx-small;">This modified technique is suggested for corrective surgery on adult dysplastic hips. </span></span></span>
