Abstract:
Congenital dislocation of the hip has been known as one of the most common congenital anomalies in the orthopedic field since the time of Hippocrates (460-357 B.C.). The occurence of C.D.H. in twin babies is extremely rare thus few if any papers have been reported. During the period of January 1971 through June 1976 the authors have treated a total of 49 cases as inpatients. Two of these were twin babies. In both cases the hip was surgically reduced and followed by open reduction and femoral derotation osteotomy. Clinically and radiologically the results were good during the duration of follow-up seven months after operations.
