Outcome of surgical management of developmental dysplasia of hip in children between 18 and 24 months

Conclusion: We feel that a preoperative AI of >40&#176; and a per-operative safe-zone <20&#176; increases the need for supplementary pelvic osteotomy in age group of 18 to 24 months because in such cases, the remodeling capacity of the acetabulum is unable to overcome the dysplasia and to form a relatively normal acetabulum.
