  • Title: Congenital dislocation of the hip: the indications and technique of open reduction.
    Author: Catterall A.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 1990; 56(1 Pt B):229-31. PubMed ID: 2382555.
    Abstract:
    Open reduction will be indicated in three circumstances: failure to correct the soft tissue contracture; failure of the hip to reduce concentrically following a "Trial of Closed Reduction"; and when closed reduction is contra-indicated in a child over two and a half years or with an associated condition such as Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita.
