Abstract
Transfixing the hip joint during operative treatment of DDH is sometimes necessary. This study included 30 patients presenting with DDH after the walking age divided into two groups; group 1, the hip joint was transfixed with K-wire. Group 2 no k-wire transfixion. At mean follow up duration of 30 months. Satisfactory results were obtained in 13 patients in group 1, and 14 patients for group 2. The final radiological results for both groups were satisfactory in 14 patients. Femoral head transfixing with Kirschner wire has no effect on the final results.
