Abstract:
Subluxation of hip is a disease commonly experienced in orthopaedic field, which is classified into primary subluxation and secondary subluxation. Generally, secondary subluxation of the hip in children who once suffered from infected hips, Legg-Calve-Perths disease and also as sequellae of incompletely treated congenital dislocation of the hip can be often seen in Korea. Especially in Korea, subluxation of the hip with some destruction of the affected femoral head frequently arose from late complication of the tuberculous or septic hip in children. But, no definite treatment for the condition was established and no satisfactory results were obtained with various operative methods. Authors experienced satisfactory result by combining the intertrochanteric varus osteotomy and administration of crystalline glucosamine sulphate (Viatril, Rotta pharmaceuticals, Italy) in subluxated burnt-out tuberculous hip of 6 years old male.
