Summary
Triple innominate osteotomy significantly improved hip pain and function in most patients. The procedure demonstrated high patient satisfaction, with 94% recommending it after a 7-year average follow-up.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Pediatric Orthopedics
Background:
- Triple innominate osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to treat hip dysplasia.
- Assessing long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction is crucial for evaluating surgical effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the long-term outcomes of triple innominate osteotomy.
- To assess patient-reported pain, functional improvement, and overall satisfaction with the procedure.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 56 hips in 44 patients who underwent triple innominate osteotomy.
- Average follow-up period of 7 years (range 2-12 years).
- Evaluation of postoperative pain, functional improvement, and patient recommendation of the procedure.
Main Results:
- Significant improvement in pain and function was reported in 53 out of 56 hips (94.6%).
- Only 3 hips were considered surgical failures.
- 42 out of 44 patients (95.5%) strongly recommended the procedure, with 2 patients (4.5%) not recommending it.
Conclusions:
- Triple innominate osteotomy is an effective procedure for improving hip pain and function in patients with hip dysplasia.
- The surgery demonstrates a high level of patient satisfaction and a strong likelihood of recommendation.
- Long-term follow-up indicates sustained positive outcomes for the majority of patients.
