[Primary surgical treatment of congenital hip dislocation].
After discussing some technical aspects of the surgical treatment of the congenital luxation of the hip, the Author reports on 148 of his own cases operated over a period of 8 years. He then goes on to evaluate the follow up also with regard to the age when treated and to describe the more unsuccessful cases. Also in the light of bibliographical data, he then considers the different indications for the treatment of the congenital luxation of the hip, pointing out in his conclusions that among the many reasons that have made him a firm upholder of the primary surgical treatment of the congenital luxation of the hip is the very small percentage of postreductive osteocondrosis which, as is known, often gives rise to serious, irrevocable invalidation.
