Abstract		The center-edge (CE) angle was measured on serial antero-posterior radiographs of 44 hips treated by Salter's innominate osteotomy for developmental dysplasia of the hip. Radiographic examination according to Severin was performed and the peak hip joint pressure was calculated using geometrical parameters determined from radiographs at the most recent follow-up examination, 7 to 13 years postoperatively. At the latest follow-up assessment, there was a positive correlation between the postoperative CE angle and radiographic results. Negative correlation was found between the postoperative CE angle and peak hip joint pressure at the latest follow up. In conclusion, Salter's osteotomy performed to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip should involve radical acetabular correction resulting in maximum increase of the CE angle.
