Abstract:
Voluntary habitual dislocation of the hip is very rarely reported in children, and only 13 cases have been reported in the literature. We add a new case in a 5 year old boy. The boy did not have previous history of trauma, skeletal and/or soft tissue anomalies, nor known connective disease. He was treated by intertrochanteric varusinward rotation osteotomy of the affected hip on February 25, 1985 and was followed until January 11, 1993. Postoperative convalescence was uneventfully successful, and the hip developed well without any obvious dysplasia at the latest follow-up.
