Of a consecutive series of 117 one-year-old infants with 130 established dislocations of the hip, 11% failed to respond to primary surgical treatment. Genetic and iatrogenic factors accounted for half the failures. There were no obvious causes in the remainder, though a few had the superficial stigmata of spinal dysraphism, and by two years of age, most of the group had developed a lateral rotation posture of the affected leg associated with a relatively smaller foot on that side. Radiologically, the femoral head had drifted and rotated laterally out of the surgically deepened acetabulum, causing persistent subluxation. Although there was no clinical evidence of sensory or motor denervation, sensory spinal evoked potential tests revealed the presence of neurological deficits in the majority of patients in this group.
