[Evaluation of the effectiveness of orthopedic manipulation of inveterate traumatic hip dislocation].

The authors present an analysis of the results of operative treatment for inveterate femoral dislocations in 13 patients, in 6 of them open reduction of the dislocation was performed, in 6--arthrodesis of the coxa, in 1--subtrochanteric osteotomy. The late results within the terms from 3 to 15 years were followed up in 9 operated patients, 5 of them were previously subjected to operative reduction of the dislocation and 4--to arthrodesis. It is the authors' opinion that, taking into account the late results following operative reduction of inveterate femoral dislocation, the operation of arthrodesis of the coxa is felt to be more rational in such cases.
