Abstract

This paper describes the so called "radical reduction of the hip" (Cakirgil's) procedure for children above four years of age, with high developmental dislocation of the hip. The procedure is a combined one-stage operation including adductor tenotomy, open reduction, femoral shortening, proximal femoral varus-derotation osteotomy and Dega's osteotomy. Radical reduction is a safe and effective procedure for high dislocations with shallow acetabulum.
