Abstract
We used hydroxyapatite blocks to keep open Salter innominate osteotomi es in 19 children (21 hips), avoiding the need for an autograft taken from the anterior superior iliac spine. Our results were satisfactory, with less deformation of the iliac bone, and a reduction of both bloo d loss and operating time.
