Congenital hip dislocations diagnosed after walking age: results of treatment.
The results of treatment of 64 congenital hip dislocations, diagnosed after the children were of walking age, were assessed anatomically, using two criteria--general femoral head shape and the C.E. angle of Wiberg. Results were also related to age at diagnosis and treatment methods. Radiologically 62% of the hips had normal or good results, and of these, 82% were obtained when the diagnosis was made and treatment started before the age of 36 months. In this series no correlation existed between anatomical result and treatment method.
