Functional Therapy of the Congenital Dislocation of Hip with Luxation Bandage

Abstract

The Luxation Bandage treatment was done to 30 cases with lateralisation of femoral head after the treatment of the congenital dislocation of hip since 1967.
The brace has pelvic band, thigh cuff, free hip joint and a pad which compresses the greater trochanter.
With this pad, reduction of the dislocated head is expected and centralization of the head into the acetabulum is maintained functionally during walk.
A twister for internal rotation of the femur is attached for the case with marked anteversion of the neck of the femur. Of the 33 joints in 30 cases, 32 joints revealed satisfactoric result with this Luxation Bandage treatment.
