  • Title: [Pavlik's harness in congenital hip dislocation before the first birthday].
    Author: Touzet P, Chaumien JP, Rigault P, Padovani JP.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 1990; 56(1 Pt A):141-7. PubMed ID: 2382538.
    Abstract:
    Three hundred cases of congenital dislocation of the hip have been treated with the Pavlik harness since 1979. The reduction is obtained by progressive flexion of the thighs. The femoral head penetrates the acetabulum from bottom to top. Placing the harness and managing the treatment must be very carefully done. The explanation given to the family is essential to success. Complications are rare. Arthrography followed by reduction in traction should be considered in case of failure. The Pavlik harness is indicated under the age of 9 months.
