The principles of treatment of congenital dislocation of hip in old children are different than those of infants and neonates. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiographic and functional results of one-stage treatment (open reduction, femoral shortening derotation, and Salter's osteotomy) of DDH in older children.
