-
an operation when the patient is older with a poor range of motion and to perform operative treatment only when there were subluxation or head at risk signs.
-
pelvic osteotomies or a combination of pelvic and femoral osteotomies rather than femoral osteotomies alone. Age did not determine the indication for treatment and there was no agreement on the indications for physiotherapy. There was also no consensus on the type of pelvic osteotomy to be used.
