Summary:Appositional incremental acetabuloplasty using a self growing iliac crest graft pedicle on its epipyseal vessels was performed in 54 puppies 3 months old. Remodeling an adaptation to the shape of the acetabulum is excellent in most of the cases, issuing into a spherical composite cavity. Persistance of a hyaline cartilage is noted until the end of the first years, but long term morphological transmission electronmicroscopy studies demonstrate a progressive transformation into fibrocartilage. This experimental study demonstrates the possibility to use remodeling and growth properties of a pedicled iliac crest, transplanted as an iland flap on the extraarticular acetabular roof. This new surgical technique can be proposed for the care of difficult dysplastic hips in children.
