The procedure consisted of arthrotomy, femoral shortening, derotational varus osteotomy and capsulorraphy. Pelvic osteotomy was done as and when required. Pre-operative and post-operative clinical and radiological assessment was done according to modified McKay and Severin criteria. Patients were followed up for five years. Results: There were 17 girls and eight boys in this study. Mean age was 3 years with minimum 2 and maximum 5 years. Five cases had bilateral dislocation. According to modified Severin classification, at the last follow up 7(28.0%) hips were graded as 1A, 4(16.0%) hips were graded as 1B, 11(44.0%) hips were graded as II and 3(12.0%) hips were graded as III. Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the head of femur as classified by Kalamchi and MacEwen at the time of last follow up was graded as I in 1(4%) cases and III in 3(12%) cases. Functional assessment was done according to modified McKay criterion. According to that criterion, in last follow up 15 (60%) were graded excellent 6(24%) good and 4(16.0%) fair.
