The effect of patient’s age on the outcomes of Salter pelvic osteotomy

Objective: We hypothesized that as the patient’s age increases, outcomes of Salter pelvic osteotomy (SPO) get worse. This study aims to compare results surgery in developmental dysplasia hip (DDH) with at which SPO is performed. Patients and Materials: Forthy six hips 36 patients least 1 year regular radiological clinical follow-up were included this study. The retrospectively divided into three groups, group I for ages between 18 months 4 years, II 6 III over years. compared groups. Results: At time surgery, mean was 4.51 years (18 months-11 years). After a 72.7 months; although there no statistically significant difference groups according Severin’s criteria, it observed success outcome decreased avascular necrosis (AVN) rates increased children who operated after Conclusions: Although, an effective treatment option DDH walking, might cause decrease increase AVN age.
