Congenital dislocation of the hip: the indications and technique of open reduction.

Abstract
Open reduction will be indicated in three circumstances: failure to correct the soft tissue contracture; failure of the hip to reduce concentrically following a "Trial of Closed Reduction"; and when closed reduction is contra-indicated in a child over two and a half years or with an associated condition such as Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita.
