We treated 31 consecutive patients of mean age 43 years (22 to 59) with severe osteoarthritis of the hip secondary to dysplasia by valgus-extension osteotomy. The clinical results were analysed for factors which may have affected the outcome. The procedure was carried out only on one side and was combined with a Chiari pelvic osteotomy in four patients. The angle of valgus was between 30 and 40 degrees with 10 to 20 degrees of extension. The mean follow-up was 15 years (12 to 18). Clinical evaluation using Charnley's modification of the system of Merle d'Aubigné and Postel showed that the mean score for pain had improved from 2.3 before operation to 4.2 at 15 years, and function from 2.3 to 4.2. Range of movement had decreased from 4.2 to 3.5. Fifteen patients (48.4%) had a pain score of 5 or 6 and were evaluated as satisfactory. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis showed a survival rate of 51% at 15 years after operation. Two preoperative factors had a significant positive correlation with the radiological results, namely the thickness of the capital drop osteophyte and the length of the roof osteophyte. We suggest that this procedure is effective for advanced osteoarthritis in the dysplastic hip in young and active patients if these factors are satisfactory on the preoperative radiographs.
