The Value of the Salter Osteotomy as a Routine Adjunct to Open Reduction of Developmental Dislocation of the Hip.
Dr. Alaa Azmi Ahmad-Ramallah, Palestine Dr. Colin Mosely, Shriner Hospital - Los Angeles - USA
All were treated by open reduction with & without salter osteotomy
Comparison between hips managed with and without Salter osteotomy was done
Comparison between hips managed by Salter osteotomy as primary and secondary procedure was done
Follow up to or almost to skeletal maturity
We reviewed records of 59 dislocated hips with surgical treatment after 1.5 years of age between 1975- 1992
33 hips – without Salter osteotomy ( R )26 hips – with primary Salter osteotomy (RS)4 hips - with secondary Salter osteotomy ( R/S )
Evaluation through: Acetabular index (AI) Center edge angle (CE) Sphericity of femoral head Avascular necrosis Severin classification
Mean Mose circle indices mm mm
Effects of primary Salter osteotomy compared to no Salter osteotmy: 1- Femoral head is better 2- Acetabulum provided better coverage 3- Avascular necrosis is less 4- higher good results according to Severin classification
In comparing results of primary and secondary Salter osteotomy:Better end results for primary Salter osteotomy, even though this group was more dysplastic at the start.
Dislocated hip Child older than 1.5 years Routinely including Salter osteotomy with the primary open reduction produces the best result.
