Why the study?
Does open reduction to remove the infolded limbus improve outcomes in congenital dislocation of the hip?
Does open reduction to remove the infolded limbus improve outcomes in congenital dislocation of the hip?
Describes an open reduction technique for congenital hip dislocation targeting the infolded limbus.
May support targeted limbus excision in select delayed reductions; leaves open whether it improves outcomes in developmental dysplasia of the hip.
It is suggested that the obstruction causing delayed reduction of the congenitally dislocated hip is the infolded limbus. 2. An operation is described by which the infolding limbus may be easily and safely removed. 3. The early results of the operation are reported. 4. The evidence for the original assumption is discussed.
