Abstract

Four recently identified cases of congenital dislocation of the hip associated with congenital muscular torticollis out of 49 consecutive cases of frank dislocation of the hip suggest that: the coexistence of congenital muscular torticollis and congenital dislocation of the hip occurs more commonly than is generally appreciated; the presence of either abnormality should initiate a careful appraisal for the presence of the other; although both conditions are seen more commonly in children delivered by breech extraction, a direct causal relationship has not yet been established although the abnormal uterine position is definitely related to each condition.
