12 Chiari Osteotomies performed on patients with Perthes disease who were followed for three years is presented. The average age at operation was 8 years 9 months. Catterall grading was mainly group IV. Chiari osteotomy provided satisfactory femoral head coverage with a decreased acetabular index and a 19.6 improvement of the wiberg angle. Good femoral coverage was related to age at operation and the site of the osteotomy on the upper rim of the acetabulum. At follow-up, the results of femoral head sphericity studied by Mose measurements were favorable under Catterall grading
