Abstract
Background and purpose — The Chiari osteotomy was a regular treatment for developmental hip dysplasia before it became mostly reserved as a salvage therapy. However, the long-term survival of the Chiari osteotomy has not been systematically investigated. We investigated the survival time of the Chiari osteotomy until conversion to total

hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with primary hip dysplasia, and factors which correlated with survival, complications, and the improvement measured in radiographic parameters. Patients and methods — Studies were included when describing patients (> 16 years) with primary hip dyspla-sia treated with a Chiari osteotomy procedure with 8 years’ follow-up. Data on patient characteristics, indications, com-plications, radiographic parameters, and survival time (end-point: conversion to THA) were extracted. Results — 8 studies were included. The average postop-erative center–edge angle, acetabular head index, and Sharp angle were generally restored within the target range. 3 studies reported Kaplan-Meier survival rates varying from 96% at 10 years to 72% at 20 years’ follow-up. Negative survival factors were high age at intervention and pre-existing advanced preoperative osteoarthritis. Moreover, reported complications ranged between 0% and 28.3 %. Interpretation — The Chiari osteotomy has high reported survival rates and is capable of restoring radiographic hip parameters to healthy values. When carefully selected by young age, and a low osteoarthritis score, patients benefit from the Chiari osteotomy with satisfactory survival rates. The position of the Chiari osteotomy in relation to the peri-acetabular osteotomies should be further (re-)explored.
