[Results of hip surgical reconstruction in congenital dislocation of the hip in children].

The paper presents a series of 51 hips (5 boys, 33 girls) that underwent reconstructive surgery because of congenital hip dislocation. Surgical treatment involved a one-stage procedure, consisting of correction of the proximal femur position and acetabuloplasty. Acetabulum reconstruction was achieved by using one of three methods: Pemberton osteotomy, Salter osteotomy and a "shelf-type" acetabuloplasty.
