[Results and developmental complications of congenital dislocation of the hip treated at walking age by progressive orthopedic reduction and corrective osteotomy of the femoral axes. Study of 112 hips at the end of their growth].

The authors have analysed the results of treatment of 112 congenitally dislocated hips at the end of growth. They had been treated at walking age by progressive reduction and femoral osteotomy. Any hips that required open reduction were excluded from the study. Over the years, the principles of treatment remain the same but the technique was improved. Most of the poor results were related to trophic or vascular complications. Satisfactory results were obtained in 84 p. 100 of cases. Improvements in technique suggest to the authors that better results may be expected in the future.
