Our aim was to determine if the height of the cup, lateralisation or the abduction angle correlated with functional outcome or survivorship in revision total hip replacement in patients with a previous diagnosis of
Dysplasia of the hip is almost unknown in the Bantu peoples of Africa, except in cases of arthrogryposis and in those with partly European ancestry. Evidence is produced to show that the importance of intrinsic genetic factors in

We have studied retrospectively 37 hips in 36 children at an average of 91 months after simultaneous open reduction and Salter innominate osteotomy for developmental
Over a 20-year period we treated 29 patients (31 dislocated hips) by non-operative reduction after nine months of age, using horizontal traction. They were followed up for a mean of 11.7 years, and 12 hips required secondary extra-articular surgery. The clinical result was excellent in 25 hips, good in four and fair in two. Of the 29 hips for which detailed radiographs were available, 18 achieved Severin grade I, nine grade II and two grade III. There were no major complications and, in particular, no cases of avascular necrosis. The non-operative reduction of late-presenting

Of 142 Chiari pelvic osteotomies for osteoarthritis in dysplastic hips, most performed by Chiari himself, we were able to review 82 and obtain information about 18 by questionnaire. All patients were over 30 years of age at operation; follow-up averaged 15.5 years. Twenty hips had undergone secondary total hip replacement. The outcome was good in 75%, fair in 9% and poor in 16%. High osteotomies all gave good results, and the result also depended on adequate medialisation. Statistics were worse for patients over 44 years of age at the time of operation. For osteoarthritis secondary to
