Abstract
Thirty hips affected by congenital dislocation or subluxation underwent surgical treatment between the ages of five and fifteen years, and the results are presented. Reduction was aided by concurrent femoral shortening in seventeen. An aggressive approach in older children not only relieves the presenting symptoms in most, but also, by improving the anatomical relationships, increases the prospect of success should total replacement become indicated in the future.
