Femoral Shortening and Derotation Osteotomy combined with Open Reduction of the Hip • The amount of shortening: distance between the inferior margin of the femoral head and the floor of the acetabulum OR measure the overlap of the osteotomized segments after reduction.

Interrvention to alter the effects of AVN: Trochanteric Epiphysiodesis. Trochanteric Advancement. Intertrochanteric Double Osteotomy. Lateral Closing Wedge Valgus Osteotomy With Trochanteric Advancement.

Greater Trochanteric Epiphysiodesis (Langenskiold) • Be done when major AVN is recognized and the ossific nucleus of the greater trochanteric present. • The most effective if performed when the child is around 5 yrs old. • Ineffective if done when the child is much more than 8 yrs old.

Distal And Lateral Transfer Of Greater Trochanter • Be considered : • when an objectionable abductor limp results from trochanteric overgrowth. • when the greater trochanter reached the level of the top of the femoral head. • Concentric reduction of the hip. • Trendelenburge’s sign (+). • Child > 8 yrs

Teratological Dislocations A teratological dislocation of the hip is one that occurs sometime before birth, resulting in significant anatomical distortion and resistance to treatment. It often occurs with other conditions such as arthrogryposis, Larsen syndrome, myelomeningocele, and diastrophic dwarfism. The anatomical changes in teratological dislocations are much more advanced. The acetabulum is small, with an oblique or flattened roof, the ligamentum teres is thickened, and the femoral head is of variable size and may be flattened on the medial side , The hip joint is stiff and irreducible, and roentgenograms show superolateral displacement. Most authors agree that closed reduction is not effective and that open reduction is necessary.
