Abstract
Downs syndrome, a common chromosomal abnormality is associated with hip and patellar instability and also atlanto-axial instability. Recurrent dislocation of the hip joint leads to potential disability requiring surgical intervention. Femoral varus derotation osteotomy and fixation is one of the procedures performed to stabilise the hip joint. (1) We report a case of Downs syndrome associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) and atlanto-axial instability which successfully underwent femoral varus derotation osteotomy procedure.
Keywords: Downs Syndrome, Atlanto-axial instability
