Abstract
In the treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip, reduction must be obtained and maintained to provide the proper stimulus for resumption of normal hip joint growth and development. Subluxation and avascular necrosis must be avoided, as degenerative joint disease is certain to occur. Acetabular dysplasia leads to degenerative joint disease with time, although no roentgenographic parameters are predictive. “Normal” hip joint anatomy may fail to develop, depending on the age of the patient at reduction and the growth potential of the acetabular cartilage. However, as normal anatomy as can be achieved should be restored at the age of maturity. This should provide the best possible mechanical environment to avoid exceeding the pressure tolerance level of the hip joint articular cartilage, thereby avoiding degenerative joint disease.
