The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of closed reduction with anesthesia and no anesthesia for developmental dislocation of the hip \< 6 months
We treated children (\<6 months) with prolonged traction before an attempted closed reduction. And compare the efficacy of closed reduction with anesthesia and no anesthesia for developmental dislocation of the hip. All the patients were followed up for a minimum of 18 months in order to identify any avascular changes in the femoral head. The presence of avascular necrosis was assessed by the criteria of Salter.
