Osteotomy of the Hip in Children: Posterior Approach*

Leon Root, M.D.{dagger} and Tzony Siegal, M.D., D.M.D.{ddagger}

From the Hospital for Special Surgery, Affiliated with The New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical College, New York City

The posterior approach for varus rotational osteotomy of the hip with the patient prone is relatively bloodless, provides excellent visualization of the osteotomy site, and facilitates insertion of internal fixation devices. We performed this operation on 100 hips in fifty-nine patients. All but one of the osteotomies healed within eight weeks and there was one infection.
