  • Title: [Problems and risks of functional treatment of hip joint dysplasia in early infancy (author's transl)].
    Author: Becker F.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1979 Apr; 117(2):138-44. PubMed ID: 463202.
    Abstract:
    Initial difficulties arise already in diagnostic stage. We cannot say whether a hip will spontaneously develop into a normal one. Hence, we must treat all children showing signs of dysplasia, and we must be willing to accept being accused of polypragmasis. There is also a certain, albeit slight, risk of disturbing the development of the femoral head. The must be strictly avoided by exercising greater possible care with regard to surgical technique and follow-up control. It is precisely the apparent simplicity of the method which presents a major difficulty. The article goes into the details of the method. Prevention in early infancy is the only possibility of checking the disease in all its stages.
