Since eighties of 20th century the great progress of the diagnostics and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hips is noted due to the ultrasound examination of newborns. The most of children, even if the most severe findings, is possible to treat in non-resident mode with success, regarding proper use of abduction devices and early diagnosis. The hips, which are dislocated and muscular contracture is developed, are indicated for gentle and phased traction, so far without any severe consequences like is aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. The cases of residual dysplasia are solved by surgical procedures because of early onset of arthrosis prevention.
