CONGENITAL SUBLUXATION OF THE HIP

Robert C. Dickerson M.D.1

1 Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York

A late follow-up analysis was carried out on 34 children with congenital subluxation of the hip treated in one consistent manner. The late end results in these patients confirm that abduction splinting was the only treatment necessary in 10 of every 11 patients and that the congenitally subluxed hip which is detected and treated under the age of 8 months should ultimately become a normal hip.
