Measure Subtrochanteric Osteotomy in Unilateral Crowe-IV Dysplasia-Surgical Technique.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Determining the optimal osteotomy length for patients with unilateral Crowe-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip undergoing subtrochanteric osteotomy remains challenging due to the significant variability in pelvic and spinal alignment. Incorrect osteotomy length, compounded by pelvic or spinal tilt, can adversely affect postoperative gait and long-term outcomes. Therefore, this study could introduce a method to calculate the osteotomy length for patients with unilateral Crowe-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip, correcting spinal and pelvic tilt, and improving patient gait.

Methods

This is a retrospective study that included 28 patients with unilateral Crowe-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip collected from June 2019 to June 2020, who underwent total hip art
