In group I the graft was pedicled with deep circumflex iliac vessels. In group Ⅱthe same technique was used without pedicle. All the animals were followed for one to six months. The specimens were studied by macroscopic, histological and electronmicroscopical examinations. The results revealed that the pedicle grafts suvived with good remodeling in the joint with defect. The ossification of the iliac crest apophysis seemed to be normal. The most superficial of the graft was similar to the cartilage of the femoral head. Acetabuloplasty utilizing pedicle crest epiphysis transplatation was carried out in 20 patients whose ages ranged from 6 to 12 years old with Perthes' disease with poor relation between femoral head and acetabulum. All patients had been followed for 8 to 48 months. Almost all cases had satisfactory results showing radiographic evidence of best joint congruency. No hip joint space narrowing was found. The result enables the authors to propose a new surgical technique in the treatment of certain difficult dysplastic condition in the hip joint of the children.展开更多
