Abstract:
The hip joint subluxation and dislocation due to poliomyelitis worsen the limping and caused the painful hip. Shelf procedure has been described as a safe, conservative and reliable approach to the of a dysplastic acetabulum. We performed shelf procedure for the dysplastic hip in poliomyelitis in thirteen patients since May, 1990. The age at operation was 21 to 38 years old and three of them were male and ten were female. All the patients were followed up for average 2.5 years(1-4. 5yrs). The hip joints showed better stability after shel'f procedure and less limping. There was no complication except one redislocation.
