  • Title: Splintage for congenital dislocation of the hip. Is it safe and reliable?
    Author: Bradley J, Wetherill M, Benson MK.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1987 Mar; 69(2):257-63. PubMed ID: 3818757.
    Abstract:
    Two-hundred and fifteen children with 288 unstable hips have been treated by splintage during the first nine months of life. A simple treatment protocol was followed and the aim was to test the safety and reliability of this protocol as well as of the Von Rosen splint and the Pavlik harness. A vascular necrosis occurred in 3.8% of the splinted hips. Despite splintage, a proportion of children needed operation at a later date.
