title: [The results of the Sommerville-Petit procedure in the treatment of the typical congenital hip dislocation].
abstract: The studied group from the Pediatric Surgery and Orthopedics Clinic, Iaşi, consisted of 87 cases, which means that a total of 118 hips were treated between September 1998-September 2004. In 116 cases, the extension was performed with trans-femoral Kirschner wire, in a period of 3-7 weeks. After 7-14 days of extension, the authors performed adductor and sometimes psoas tenotomy. The stable orthopedic reduction was obtained in 34 hips, while the 15 cases with inadequate results required open reduction. This method, performed from the beginning after a period of extension, was applied to 69 cases. In 13 patients the iterative open reduction was required. None of the cases associated femoral diaphysis shortening resection.
