Open (surgical) reduction of both hip joints in an infant
Treating congenital hip dislocation with surgery has become quite the rarity. This is due to the fact that we perform ultrasound screening using the Graf method after birth as standard in most cases and because of the possible conservative early treatment options at our disposal. In some cases, however, the femoral head cannot be positioned into the socket by non-surgical means, meaning surgical treatment becomes necessary. Our case study shows the development in a female infant.
