ROTATION OSTEOTOMY IN THE TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL DISLOCATION OF THE HIP

Eivind Platou M.D.1

1 State Orthopaedic Hospital, Oslo

In treating congenital dislocation of the hip in the presence of increased anteversion of the femoral head, the author has done rotation osteotomy just below the lesser trochanter (from 30 degrees to 90 degrees) on thirty-seven hips in thirty patients. At the time of the patient's discharge from the Hospital, good position was noted in thirty-two hips. At follow-up examination from nine months to five years later, good position had been retained in twenty-nine hips.
