Abstract
83 cases of congenital dislocation of the hip joint in infants under one year of age were treated non-operatively and were observed radiographically for 0.5-3.0 years after the treatment, the very good healing was 73.5%.Among the numbers 40 cases were treated with reinforced baby wraps which is a simple procedure for every mother in keeping the baby's hips in abduction. The very good healing was 57.5%.The indication for that procedure may be as follows:1) Hypoplasia.2) When a diagnosis of dislocation is difficult for account of absence of the femur head in radiograph.3) Subdislocation which may be easy reduced by the simple abduction of the hip, without remarkable noises.4) If it would not be successful despite the procedure continued for 2-3 months, the other treatment should be followed.
