Appropriate Surgical Timing of Salter Innominate Osteotomy for Residual Acetabular Dysplasia in Children

Conclusions: SIO showed favorable outcomes with satisfactory acetabular coverage at skeletal maturity. However, satisfactory acetabular coverage could not be obtained in some older patients because of limited postoperative remodeling capacity and smaller secondary improvement of CEA. We recommend that SIO should be performed in patients aged 8 years or younger. Level of Evidence: Level III—retrospective comparative study.
