[Results of the surgical treatment of congenital hip dislocation in schoolchildren].

The author presents his experience of surgical treatment of 63 high congenital dislocations of the hip in schoolchildren. Osteotomy of the pelvis after Salter in combination with shortening osteotomy and open reduction of the hip has been used. Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head in the postoperative period has been revealed in almost 80% of the cases; the results were good during the first 10 years of observations in 28.5% and bad in 31% of the cases; after 10 and more years the percentage of good results fell to 18%. However, the patients gave a higher estimation of the treatment results as the period of clinical compensation of the operated joints lasted 10 to 12 pears, which made easier their contacts with schoolmates and family creation in future.
