Avascular necrosis after nonoperative treatment of developmental hip dislocation:Prognosis in 36 patients followed 17-26 years

“…Several prognostic classifications have been proposed on the basis of the extent of involvement of the proximal femur (Gage and Winter 1972, Bucholz and Ogden 1978, Kalamchi and McEwen 1980, Tonnis 1984. The pattern of avascular necrosis adopted in this study distinguishes two types (1-11) of involvement of the epiphysis alone and three (111-V) of both the epiphysis and metaphysis.…”

Abduction treatment in late diagnosed congenital dislocation of the hip

“…The Frejka pillow has been criticized for inducing maximum abduction (Tonnis 1984). It should, however, be noted that our treatment, starting with a soft Frejka pillow, did not force the hip into maximum abduction.…”

“…Early diagnosis means a shorter, less invasive course of treatment with more favorable results and fewer complications. [1][2][3][4][5] In the Netherlands, the number of neonatally diagnosed cases is very low. Early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip.…”
