title: [Long-term follow-up of 166 surgically treated patients with congenital hip dislocation].
abstract: 166 patients with congenital dislocation of the hip, ranging from 10 months to 5 years old, were operated between 1958 and 1971. 140 patients were women (84%) and 26 patients were men (16%). 96 patients had unilateral and 70 patients had bilateral dislocation; that makes a total of 236 dislocated hips. 61 patients with bilateral hip dislocation were operated simultaneously on both hips. All the patients were treated with adductor tenotomy and open reduction through Smith Petersen incision with section or elongation of the psoas tendon. The postoperative immobilization consisted in a period of one month pelvic toecast followed by 2 plaster casts with abduction rod during 3 to 5 months. The postoperatory follow-up ranged from 9 years to 26 years, 2 months; average 14 years, 5 months. The clinical evaluation comprises pain, hip mobility, gait and muscle power.
  
  
  RESULTS
  excellent 138 (59%); good 66 (28%); fair 29 (12%); and poor 3 (1%). The radiological evaluation considered: Mose; acetabular femoral head index; Wiberg's CD-angle; cervico-diaphysiary angle and radial quotient.
  
  
  RESULTS
  normal 5 (2%); excellent 44 (19%); good 78 (33%); subtotal 54%; fair 90 (38%), and poor 19 (8%). Complications (hips); infections 12 (5%); 3 of them deep ones (1%); residual subluxation 19 (8%); reluxation 1 (0.5%). Isquemic necrosis Grade II of Tönnis 31 (13%); Grade III 2 (1%) and Grade IV 1 (0.5%).
