For more than 100 years, congenital dislocation of the hip has been
an area of concern in orthopedics. This publications on the subject
are al most too numerous to count. Yet our knowledge of the basic
principles of congenital hip dislocation and its management is
constantly being expanded by new research. In Germanspeaking
countries, Kaiser pub lished the last comprehensive textbook on
congenital hip dislocation in 1958, and Schlegel followed with a
comprehensive handbook in 1961. In the Angloamerican world,
Coleman's monograph was pub lished in 1978, Somerville's in 1982,
and Wilkinson's in 1985. In 1982 Tachdjian compiled a volume on
congenital hip dislocation that con tained contributions from 44
authorities. The purpose of the present book is to provide an
overview of our pre sent state of knowledge of congenital hip
dislocation, covering basic principles, diagnosis, methods of
closed and open treatment, and indi cations. In the process, an
attempt is made to trace progress in the field from its beginnings
to the present time. Many authors describe the diagnosis and
treatment of congenital hip dysplasia and dislocation in terms of
specific age groups. We believe it is more prudent to take an
individualized approach based on arthro graphic findings and the
degree of severity of pathologic changes. Less emphasis is placed
here on the management of patients by age group."
