Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare bone healing in pelvic osteotomy patients with osteotomy gaps filled with a femoral segment resected (FSR) graft with bone healing in patients with an iliac tricortical autograft (ITA) in treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Sixty-three hips were treated using FSR grafts. Sixty-one hips were treated using ITA. The mean operation time and blood loss were significantly reduced in the FSR graft group, but graft union time was extended in the FSR graft group compared with that in the ITA group. The FSR graft was found to be safe and effective in treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip and serves as an advantageous alternative to ITA.
