Figure 1
(a) The osteotomy was performed from sciatic notch to anterior-inferior iliac spine (the dotted line). (b) The distal osteotomy segment was shifted anterolaterally. A graft was taken from the iliac wing and was inserted on the raw surface of the distal osteotomy segment of the pelvis. (c) After about one and a half months, osteogenesis (gray color) was seen in the empty spaces between the proximal and distal osteotomy segments (acetabular roofing process). (d) Completed roof of acetabulum was observed about three months after the osteotomy.
