Aim

To establish the incidence of clinically significant avascular necrosis (AVN) and the resultant influence on radiological outcome following medial open reduction for DDH.

Method

A systematic review of the literature was performed using Medline and Embase, from 1946 to 2012, to identify all relevant clinical studies. We excluded papers with a mean follow-up under 5 years. The effect of length of follow-up, outcome according to Severin, age at surgery, and type of growth disturbance were reviewed.
