Background: Bladder extrophy malformation includes outward rotation of the innominate bones, pubic symphysis diastasis and acetabular retrovertion. We have corrected the pelvic deformation during the reconstruction of the bladder neck and the urethra in older children.

Methods: From 1/01/2002 to 1/01/2006 in the Department of Pediatric Urology and the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics in Katowice 4 children were operated on for bladder extrophy.

[Surgical treatment of adolescent's hallux valgus using Scarf's osteotomy].
