Description

We treated seven congenital dislocations of the hip in six patients.<BR>The average age of the patients at the first visit was 1 year (range: 5 months to 1 year 10 months), and the average age of the beginning the treatment with overhead traction (OHT) was 1 year 2 months (range: 9 months to 2 years). The average follow-up period was 8 years (range: 5 months to 15 years). The average period of traction was 65 days (range: 51 to 74 days). All hips were corrected successfully by OHT.<BR>Subsequent operations were performed on two out of the seven hips. OHT treatment was started when subjects were more than 1 year of age. We concluded that congenital dislocation of the hip is best treated by closed reduction, especially when Riemenbugel method fails in children above 1 year and children of walking age.
