Tönnis triple pelvic osteotomy for the management of late residual acetabular dysplasia: mid-term to long-term follow-up study of 54 patients

In conclusion, we believe that, although Bernese periacetabular osteotomy is nowadays considered the gold standard for the surgical treatment of the dysplastic hip following DDH, Tönnis osteotomy represents a good treatment option: it is technically easy, enables direct visualization of the three osteotomies, leads to few complications, and its learning curve is short. The absence of radiographic signs of osteoarthritis and hip congruency before surgery are the basic requirements to achieve a successful result.
