title: [Treatment of hip joint dislocation with the Hanausek apparatus].
abstract: The Hanausek apparatus has been used for reposition and retention of luxation of the hip joint in the Orthopädische Klinik Hessisch Lichtenau in 37 cases aged up to 2 years, if there was no hindrance of reposition in arthrography. It is a functional method which avoids the extreme Lorenz position that is claimed to endanger the caput femoris respecting necrosis. In a retrospective roentgenological observation it became evident, that the method of Hanausek leads generally to a good development of the acetabulum. The rate of necrosis in our patients was high (17%). Our patients started treatment later (38% aged more than one year). 2/3 of the patients had a high luxation of the hip joint.
