Growth-disturbance lines in congenital dislocation of the hip

T O'Brien

In congenital dislocation of the hip, growth-disturbance lines as shown radiographically regularly occur in the proximal end of the femur after operative procedures are performed under general anesthesia. They can be seen in children who are between the ages of six months and four years and tend to disappear over several years. I think that the final shape of the femoral neck can be predicted by closely observing the development and displacement of the growth-disturbance lines that are induced at the time of surgical treatment.
