[Fracture-dislocation of the hip joint. II. Central luxation]

64 cases of central luxation are analysed by the authors. 4--10 years after the injury 31 patients appeared at the check-inspection. It has been stated by the authors that because of the severity of the injury and the age of the injured patients surgical intervention may be performed even in case of greater dislocation but rarely. The result of the conservative treatment is in the case of congruency of the loading surface satisfactory, but it is even in the case of incongruency generally better than it may be supposed on the basis of the roentgenogram. For the prevention of later occurring severe arthrosis the importance of the rehabilitation is emphasized by the authors.
