Treatment of hip deformities. P. Mathieu (Presse med., 1926, No. 83)

Abstract

The author divides hip joint deformities into two groups: 1) with complete ankylosis of the hip joint, when, in the straightened position of the hip, there is no need for surgical intervention, and when the position of the hip is incorrect, an oblique or wedge osteotomy is indicated, and 2) with preserved mobility of the hip.
