Abstract Introduction Hip dysplasia occurs due to inappropriate hip biomechanics. this can cause early OA, which make challenge to OrthopaediC surgeons in adult patients because of age limits for arthroplasty. The major role of osteotomy in dysplastic hip is to establish normal hip biomechanics by repositioning the hyaline cartilage surfaces (Bombel!i 1993). Osteotomies (whether femoral or pelvic) designed to prevent OA in patients, may be effect.ive for many decades or even permanently, if normal anatomy restored (Sombeflleral, 19’84). Osteotomies around the hip can be divided into two broad categories: reconstructive and salvage according to the severity of the disease In general in reconstructive smgery the biochemical concepts of containment, coverage, congruence. center of rotation, abductor mechanics. version (torsion), mechanical axes and limb length should be considered. Thus, The message is becoming clearer in the late 19908: Hips that are not anatomically normal will n01 last lifetime, especially if there are any preexisting anatomic abnormalities.
