Developmental hip dysplasia and dislocation: Part II

Stuart L Weinstein et al. Instr Course Lect. 2004.

Abstract

Both nonsurgical and surgical options are available for the treatment of developmental hip dysplasia and dislocation. The advantages, pitfalls, and techniques for using the Pavlik harness should be thoroughly examined before treatment. Other closed and open treatments are aimed at concentric reduction and prevention of residual subluxation and dysplasia. Early diagnosis and treatment lead to the best long-term results for these conditions.
