Treatment of chronic congenital dislocations of the hip joint Hahn’ом (Münch, med. Wochenschr., № 3, 1923)
The treatment of chronic congenital dislocations of the hip joint is still a very difficult task for the surgeon. Therefore, the simple method of operation recommended for this kind of deformity by Hahn deserves special attention (Münch, med. Wochenschr., No. 3, 1923), namely, subtrochanteric osteotomy of the femur with insertion of a distal fragment into the acetabulum in the position of easy extension, combined, in cases of unilateral dislocation, with a small abduction. The latter compensates for the shortening of the leg by approximately 1 cm.
