Abstract
- Hip reconstruction with subtrochanteric valgus extension pelvic support osteotomy and distal femoral osteotomy for lengthening and varus correction is one of the options available for salvage of chronic unstable hips and is also known as Ilizarov hip reconstruction (IHR). This study evaluated the outcomes and complications associated with IHR in skeletally mature young patients. Twelve patients (7 males, 5 females) with a mean age of 23 years underwent IHR for chronically dislocated hips due to various causes. Preoperative clinical and radiological evaluations were used to determine the site of osteotomies and the required angulations. Postoperatively the patients were followed up clinically and radiologically for a minimum of 36 months. Ilizarov fixator was removed when adequate lengthening was achieved and there was radiological evidence of union. Harris Hip Score was used to document hip function preoperatively and at final evaluation. Significant improvements occurred in limb length discrepancy (LLD) 5.11 cm preoperatively to 0.9 cm at final evaluation, Harris Hip Score 44.33 points preoperatively to 70.83 points (p
