    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Hip Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Osteotomies are surgical procedures to correct bone deformities.
    • Internal fixation devices are crucial for stabilizing bone fragments after osteotomy.
    • The Altdorf hip clamp is a specific device used in hip surgeries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Altdorf hip clamp in pediatric osteotomies.
    • To assess complication rates associated with Altdorf hip clamp fixation in a pediatric population.
    • To analyze outcomes based on different underlying pathologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 41 pediatric osteotomies fixed with the Altdorf hip clamp.
    • Classification of patients by diagnosis: cerebral palsy, congenital dislocated hip, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, and other.

  • Data collection on intraoperative and long-term complications.

    • Main Results:

    • No intraoperative complications were reported in the 41 cases.
    • Low rates of long-term complications were observed.
    • Specific complications included one nonunion, one superficial wound infection, and two cases of loss of position (>15 degrees).

    Conclusions:

    • The Altdorf hip clamp appears to be a safe and effective device for pediatric osteotomies.
    • The device demonstrates a favorable complication profile across various pediatric hip pathologies.
    • Further research may explore long-term functional outcomes in specific patient groups.
