Dega osteotomy for the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip in children aged 2–8 years: Results of 58 consecutive osteotomies after 13–25 years of follow-up

Abstract

In our pediatric patient population the Dega osteotomy proved to be an adequate measure for the management of this complex condition. The worst complication was avascular necrosis, and all of the affected hips ended with failure (pain, another surgery, or both).
