Roentgenograms of 22 cases of congenital dislocation with interposition of soft tissues in the hip joint which had been treated with over head traction method or careful manual reduction were examined.
The interposition of soft tissues had no bearing on the outcome in these cases. Thus in itself, it does not indicate open reduction. Open reduction should be reserved for the very few cases in which closed reduction is unsuccessful. Closed reduction is the method of choice in congenital dislocation of the hip joint.
