Abstract
Hip’s open reduction combined with Salter innominate osteotomy and femoral osteotomy is the treatment of choice when treating Developmental Dislocation of the Hip (DDH) at walking age. We report a case of a five-year-old girl who underwent a failed surgical procedure of hip’s open reduction, Salter innominate osteotomy, and the femoral osteotomy. One year later, one-stage surgical procedure of hip’s open reduction, Dega pelvic osteotomy, and femoral de-rotation varus shortening osteotomy was performed. During the five-year follow-up, the clinical outcome was evaluated as excellent. The Dega pelvic osteotomy is an effective pelvic osteotomy for DDH, in a case of a failed Salter osteotomy.
