CAPSULAR ARTHROPLASTY FOR CONGENITAL DISLOCATION OF THE HIP

A Two-Stage Procedure

Paul C. Colonna M.D.1

1 University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

In performing this two-stage procedure for treating congenital dislocation of the hip in children, adequate preoperative soft-tissue stretching is followed by an open operation. At this time the capsule-covered head is transplanted downward and is centrally placed in an adequately formed and reconstructed acetabulum.

The indications, contra-indications, and complications have been reviewed in this twenty-year study and roentgenograms have been presented to demonstrate that stability can be achieved and mobility can be preserved in the congenitally dislocated hip.
