An attempt to explain the causes of hip development normalization in children with developmental dislocation, whose parents discontinued non-surgical treatment
Abstract:Despite the discontinuation of non-surgical treatment of children with DDH, the development of the hip after a few years or a decade or so turned out to be correct in about 50% of the subjects. The authors present examples and analyze the reasons for effective stimulation of the acetabulum roof and proximal femoral roof growth zones in these children.
