By the application of a careful preoperative evaluation, vigorous postoperative rehabilitation and treatment of complications, satisfactory results were obtained in 17 of 20 patients followed for one to 17 years after osteotomy. No hip subsequently dislocated and dysplastic acetabulae were predictably remodeled in those patients less than 8 years of age.
