DOME CHIARI – REPORT ON FOUR CASES



Abstract

The senior author performed Kawamura Dome Chiari pelvic osteotomy on four patients with hip dysplasia, an incongruent hip joint and a weakly developed posterior wall that caused posterior instability.

Although follow-up has not been long term, the uncomplicated postoperative course and improved hip stability of all four patients suggest that this operation offers a solution to a selected group of patients.

The abstracts were edited by Prof. M.B.E. Sweet. Correspondence should be addressed to him at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Medical School, University of the Witwatersrand, 7 York Road, Parktown, 2193 South Africa
