title: [Studies of hip dislocation in twins].
abstract: An arbitrary series of twins is used to demonstrate that there is no increased morbidity from congenital dislocated hip joint in twins. A physiologic delay in ossification of the cartilaginously preformed parts of articulations is caught up during the first year of life. In addition, connection with pregnancy and birth is discussed and r recommendations for diagnosis and therapy using sonography are given.
