Painless Nonunion After Triple Pelvic Osteotomy
Abstract
Triple pelvic osteotomy is an accepted technique to correct acetabular dysplasia and degenerative labral pathology in young
adults. Few papers mentioned the rate of nonunion at site of osteotomy of pubic bone and ischeal bone. No report about
nonunion at site of osteotomy of iliac bone (up to the author’s knowledge). Here the author reported a case of triple pelvic
osteotomy which is complicated by painless nonunion at site of osteotomy of iliac bone which required excision of
pseudarthrosis and autologous bone grafting. Healing was achieved after three months.
