Inferior (obturator) dislocation of the hip in neonates. A complication
of treatment by the Pavlik harness. Rombouts-J-J. Kaelin-A. University of Louvain, Brussels, Belgium. J-Bone-Joint-Surg-[Br]. 1992 Sep. 74(5). P 708-10. Two neonates, treated by the Pavlik harness for congenital dislocation of the hip, developed inferior dislocation due to excessive hip flexion. Early recognition of the complication and diminution of the angle of flexion gave a stable relocation of the hip in both patients.
