Abstract:
Abduction contracture of the hip has been treated by two methods; the results of both have been compared. Modified Campbell's procedure has been performed in 5 children (6 hips). In 8 patients (9 hips) gluteal fascia and fibrotic scarring within the gluteal muscles has been transversely dissected. The mean follow-up was 26 months in either group. Dissection of the fascia and the scars resulted in doubled range of adduction and better cosmetic result compared to Campbell's method.
