The authors evaluate in their paper the long-term results of capsular acetabuloplasty by Colonna's method in the material of the First Orthopaedic Clinic, Faculty Hospital Bratislava. The mean time interval after operation was 20 years. The results are compared with previous evaluations made by Cervenanský and Kalman. Very favourable results were recorded in 3% of the patients, good results in 24%, satisfactory results in 39% and poor results in 39% and poor results in 34% of the patients. A marked shift towards unsatisfactory results is due to incorrect indication of acetabuloplasty which in the was a certain compromise, and also due to the surgical technique. The authors assume that correct and early prevention and treatment will eliminate capsular acetabuloplasty from the range of standard surgical therapeutic procedures in L.c.c.
