We observed four patients with congenital dislocation of the hip, performed the arthrodesis of the hip.
Years of surgery were from eleven to fourteen years old, and postoperative periods were from seventeen to thirty-five months.
We found the following complication: scoliosis, increase of lordosis, lumbago and knee disturbances.
The change of the knee are recurvatum, varus and posterior dislocation of the tibia.
The roentogenogram showed the inclination to posterointeriorly of the proximal tibial epiphyseal line and the joint surface of tibia, and the early closure of the tibial epiphyseal line.
We considered the factor of the these changes, the following things: the destruction of proximal femoral epiphyseal line, the alteration of weight bearing, the question of arthrodesis and the imbalance of muscle.
