Congenital dislocation of the hip. Treatment in infancy to walking age.
Early management of congenital dislocation of the hip has been necessary and has resulted in a high percentage of normal-appearing and functioning hips. The risk of complications and problems has been lessened. Further, the techniques employed are simpler and less demanding or difficult for patients, family, or physicians.
