Popis: Background/objective: Hip dysfunction in young population caused by developmental dysplasia of the hip, congenital hip deformity or femur head necrosis severely affect the quality of life of young patients, and total hip replacement is the current widely accepted standard therapy for hip function reconstruction in adults, but not for young patients. Alternative safe and effective surgical method for hip function preservation/reconstruction for young patients is lacking. Ilizarov hip reconstruction osteotomy was an alternative method for preserving hip function but the surgical procedures were rather complicated using discomforting ring fixation at the hip region that prevents its wider acceptance and application. Here we reported a modified Ilizarov hip reconstruction surgery for hip dysfunction/deformity correction in adolescent and young adults using femoral shaft osteotomy and simplified unilateral external fixation configuration at the hip region with satisfactory clinical outcomes. Methods: This is a retrospective study with five male and twelve female patients aged from 10 to 34 years old (mean 20.6 years) including 11 developmental dislocations of the hip and 6 femoral head necrosis. Modified Ilizarov hip reconstruction y surgery was performed using single-arm triangular configuration, threaded half pins on the femur and multiple drill hole guide for osteotomy. The mechanical axis and limb length were corrected spontaneously during the subsequent limb lengthening process in all patients. Preoperative and postoperative gross appearance, radiography of the hip and hip function assessment scores were recorded and compared during the follow-up period. Results: The mean follow-up period was 64.3 months (12–87 months). Satisfactory hip appearance, hip and knee functions were achieved in all patients, none resulted in hip replacement surgery at the follow-up period. The mean preoperative and postoperative Harris hip scores were 45.92 ​± ​19.41 and 87.16 ​± ​5.31, respectively (p ​
