description Treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) by closed reduction and immobilization in the hip spica cast is one of the accepted methods for use in patients under one year of age. We report 74 congenitally dislocated hips treated with premanipulation skin traction, closed reduction under anesthesia, adductor tenotomy and immobilization in the hip spica cast. Satisfactory results were obtained in 60 hips. In seven hips, avascular necrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis was observed with careful management, closed reduction and immobilization in a spica cast provides good results for treatment of CDH.
