Patients were under 10 years of age at surgery, had limited hip motion, and radiographic subluxation. At an average 7.4 years postoperatively, hips had a migration percentage in the normal range (0-15\%) in 58 of 70 cases (83\%). Hips with preoperative subluxation between 30 and 49\% had a normal migration percentage in 18 of 21 cases (81\%), and those over 50\% in three of seven (43\%) of cases. Soft tissue surgery alone, even in cases of moderate hip subluxation, can result in long-term radiographic hip stability.
