[Results of treatment of congenital hip dislocation by extensionrepositioning and Hanausek-retention].
In the past 4 years all our patients below the age of three years, suffering from luxation or dysplasia of the hipjoint, were treated only conservatively. For repositioning we used a modified overhead-extension (Extensionsreposition). The "Hanausek-Apparat" was used only for retention. By this method all luxations  could be reponed. Because of the low rate of re-dislocations and femur-head-nekroses, which decreased significantly from 23 per cent to 3.9 per cent, our method proved to be superior to manual repositioning under general anaesthesia, plaster-extension or early operation.
