title: [Functional treatment of central hip dislocation--personal modifications].
abstract: A slow, lasting for several hours method for reduction of central dislocation of the hip with the use of bidirectional traction, with Rush pin introduced in the trochanter major and Steinmann pin in supracondylar area, with 18 degrees of the lateral tilt of the bed, with standard upper frame of Gruca bed mounted laterally and great traction force against the hip is presented. The universal Gruca splint was employed in the after-treatment. In 12 patients with grade II and III central dislocation of the hip excellent early anatomical and functional results were achieved.
