Salter's 1966 AAOS Instructional Course Lecture describes the rationale, design, and technique of innominate osteotomy for congenital hip dislocation and subluxation in children over 18 months old — addressing why simple reduction fails in this age group and how redirecting the entire acetabulum solves the instability problem.
Understanding Salter's principles helps you grasp why modern periacetabular osteotomies work and when reorientation procedures are preferred over containment methods in pediatric hip surgery.
