  • Title: [Correction of the position of the limbus in open reduction of congenital hip dislocation in children].
    Author: Gafarov KhZ, Akhtiamov IF.
    Journal: Ortop Travmatol Protez; 1990 Feb; (2):11-3. PubMed ID: 2193279.
    Abstract:
    On the basis of their clinical experience in the treatment of 146 patients with congenital dislocation of the hip the authors have evaluated the state of the limb in this pathologic condition. Various changes in the limb's form have been observed depending on the expression of the hip dislocation and on the patient's age. The instruments for incisions and for correcting the limb's position have been worked out. The fixation of the limb in the functionally correct position is carried out by stitching its fragments and fixing the strained threads in the greater trochanter area. The correction of the limb's position allows the subsequent correct development of the acetabular roof.
