Continuous parameters are expressed as mean with range in parentheses; *significant difference compared with preoperative; after femoral head reduction osteotomy in all cases and concomitant acetabular containment surgery in five of 11 hips; after subsequent containment surgery (acetabular and/or intertrochanteric osteotomies) in five of 11 hips.
