A group of 15 patients, over 6 years of age, with neglected congenital hip dislocation(16 hips) were operated on using the Klisic''''s technique. The mean follow-up was 4 years.Prior this surgery, 12 hips had undergone different surgical treatments without satisfactoryresults. At the end of follow-up 11 hips were satisfactory reduced. In 6 cases necrosis of thefemoral head was detected, but necrotic signs were seem in the preoperative radiographs of5 of these cases. According to a clinico-radiographic score (Trevor et al. 1975), either excellentor good results were obtained in 50% of cases. In 3 1% the outcome was poor from both clinicaland radiographic point of view. In conclusion, Klisic''''s technique seems to be a suitable alternativefor the treatment of reglected congenital dislocation of the hip. The more proper indicationwould be a high dislocation of the hip with hypoplasic acetabulum.
