The Salter osteotomy is a redirection osteotomy where the iliac (innominate) bone is divided from the sciatic notch to the anterior inferior iliac spine. An opening wedge osteotomy is performed inserting a triangular graft harvested from the iliac wing. The osteotomy results in improved anterolateral coverage of the femoral head as the distal fragment hinges on the symphysis pubis and SI joint. Unlike an acetabuloplasty which reduces the volume of the acetabulum, the Salter osteotomy is purely redirectional.

Although the operation may be performed in isolation it can be performed concurrently with an open reduction of the hip for late presenting hip dislocation.

The operation was originally described for children aged 18 months and above. It has been utilised for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia in adults but in this age group has been largely superseded by periacetabular and triple pelvic osteotomies.

OrthOracle readers will also find the following instructional operative techniques if interest:

Congenital Hip dislocation: Anterior open reduction and Dega acetabuloplasty

Congenital Hip dysplasia: The Birmingham Interlocking Pelvic (Triple) osteotomy

Congenital dislocation of the hip: Proximal femoral varus osteotomy (Blade plate fixation)

Congenital dislocation of the Hip: Medial Approach Open Reduction hip (MAOR)

Clinicians should seek clarification on whether any implant demonstrated is licensed for use in their own country.
