title: [Early results of surgical treatment for congenital hip dislocation in children using Degi's method in children under 18 months of age].
abstract: Early results of surgical treatment of congential hip dislocation by the Dega method in 18 children (20 hips) aged from 6 to 17 months are presented. Following the excision of the soft tissue obstructions and Dega transiliac osteotomy stable reduction of the hip has been achieved in all cases. Proximal femoral osteotomy has been performed in 6 cases only. Clinical results were markedly superior over radiological ones. Fair radiological outcomes resulted from surgical errors or avascular necrosis of the femoral head due to the previous conservative treatment. Avascular necrosis after operative treatment has not been noted.
