  • Title: CDH diagnosed at 2 to 12 months of age--treatment and results.
    Author: Strömqvist B, Sundén G.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop; 1989; 9(2):208-12. PubMed ID: 2925856.
    Abstract:
    A treatment program for late-diagnosed CDH included skin traction, arthrography, tenotomy of adductor and psoas tendons, and immobilization of the hips in the "frog leg" position with a plaster cast for 8-12 weeks, followed by an abduction frame until the acetabular dysplasia normalized. Follow-up of 40 children with nonteratological CDH performed 2-12 years after diagnosis revealed 38 normal hips and 2 patients with coxa magna, one of whom had intermittent hip pain.
