An example of overgrowth of the affected limb after treatment of DDH. A girl underwent anterolateral open reduction at age 1.5 years (A) and femoral osteotomy at age 5 years. At 2 months post-osteotomy FHHD was not distinct (B). However, FHHD became +14 mm at age 8.5 years (C) and +19 mm at age 11.5 years (D) resulting in pelvic tilt. She underwent percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (E) and eventually had a level pelvis at age 15 years (F).
