[Surgical treatment of congenital hip dislocation in adults].

In the article is summarized the experience of treatment of adult patients with congenital dislocation of the femur. In clinic there has been applied not widely practised access by means of inter--of supratrochanteric osteotomy. After that the proximal fragment of the femur is diverted outwardly and the capsule is opened on the medial side. In this way the blood supply of the head and neck of the femur is maximally spared. During 12 years there have been operated 67 patients aged 15-50 years. Dynamic observation of patients indicated absence of such grave complication as the aseptic necrosis of the head of the femur that is the principal confirmation of low-traumatic character of the operation.
