[Surgical tactics in the treatment of pathologic dislocation and subluxation of the hip joint]

The authors substantiate the indications for various extraarticular surgical interventions taking into consideration a great diversity of pathologic changes in the proximal end of the femur and in the acetabulum. Preference is given to combined interventions on the bones of the pelvis and on the femur. The indications for the 5 major versions of the operation for pathologic dislocations and subluxations of the hip are presented. 50 of the 52 operated joints were examined 1 to 8 years later; in 36 cases the results were good, in 10 cases satisfactory and in 4 cases bad.
