[Observation of the so-called "anti-Chiari effect" subsequent to osteotomy of the pelvis in children (author's transl)].

Osteotomy of the pelvis according to Chiari is performed in the immediate vicinity of the acetabulum and the craniolateral corner of the acetabulum. In children, it will almost always involve damaging the important growth zones of the acetabulum. Depending on the site and extent of the osteotomy performed, the pathological growth kinetics will lead to varying defects. This pathology of the kinetics of growth is known as "Anti-Chiari effect".

[Results of total endoprosthetic treatment of dysplasia coxarthrosis with additional autologous acetabuloplasty of the roof of the acetabulum].

With reference to the different operative treatments of dysplasia coxarthroses with a total hip endoprosthesis, 43 operations on the hip joint performed from 1975 to 1979 with a filling up to the acetabular roof defect with an autogenous bone graft had a clinical and roentgenological follow-up. The results were evaluated by means of a standardised procedure, and it was demonstrated with the help of clear successes that also anatomopathologically complicated cases can be provided with a suitable total endoprosthesis.
