[Reconstructive operations in the supra-acetabular region of the dysplastic hip joint in children using a migrating...

The paper is devoted to the surgical treatment of children with dysplastic pre- and coxarthroses, particularly to reconstruction of the supra-acetabular++ area of the hip joint using a migrating osteo-muscular+ tissue complex, i.e. a graft taken from the upper flaring portion of the ilium together with the growth area and the tailor's muscle attached to it, which allows to reduce the terms of the treatment, to exclude a further recurrence of the deformation and to interrupt the present phenomena of arthrosis. In all the 52 operated patients aged 5 to 12 years with the follow-up periods up to 6 years the anatomical and the functional results were good. The mean rating according to the Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics was 4.8 points.
