Abstract: | A meticulous capsuloplasty is needed to maintain concentric reduction in the surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The authors present a new capsuloplasty technique that was named as 'reverse U-shaped capsuloplasty'. It was performed in 72 dislocated hips of 62 children with a mean age of 2.7 years. The reverse U-shaped flap, created in the redundant superolateral capsule was turned downwards, advanced medially, anteriorly and inferiorly and brought over the anteroinferior capsular incision. After a mean follow-up period of 3 years there was neither redislocation nor restriction of the hip joint motion in any hips. |
