The management of hip instability as a consequence of @entity5414 in childhood is difficult. Ilizarov hip reconstruction is a double-level femoral osteotomy with the objective of eliminating hip instability, through a proximal valgus-extension-derotation osteotomy and a distal varization-lengthening osteotomy for mechanical axis correction and equalization limb length. Ilizarov hip reconstruction was performed for 16 adult @entity1 with complaints of @entity158 , @entity3656 , limping, reduced activity and limited abduction of the hip as a result of @entity5414 . Their ages ranged from 19 to 32  years (mean 23.2      4.2). Ilizarov external fixator was used in all cases. At the time of last follow-up that ranged from 60 to 132  months (mean 85.6      23.5), the Harris hip score (HHS) showed excellent functional outcome in two cases (12.50  %), good in 13 cases (81.25  %) and fair in one case (6.25  %). There was no poor functional outcome in any case. Preoperatively, the mean HHS was 56.18 points, and at the time of last follow-up, it improved to a mean of 84.62 points. @entity158 subsided in all @entity1 , the Trendelenburg sign became negative in all but three (19  %) @entity1 , no @entity1 had limb-length discrepancy, and the alignment of the extremity was reestablished in all cases. No additional operations were required. Ilizarov hip reconstruction is a valuable and durable solution for the late sequelae of @entity5414 of the hip presenting in adult @entity1 .
