[Treatment outcome for dysplastic hip after overhead traction].
Clinical and radiological analysis has been carried out in series of 71 dysplastic hips in children aged 7-21 months of life (mean 16 months) treated with an over head traction. At one year follow-up there were clinically 22% excellent results, radiologically 10% excellent results and 25% poor ones. At the age of 5 complete remodeling of the hip was found in 21% of cases, and poor radiological result in 29% of cases. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head was found in 25% of patients at 1 year follow-up.
