Popis:	Over a 20-year period we treated 29 patients (31 dislocated hips) by non-operative reduction after nine months of age, using horizontal traction. They were followed up for a mean of 11.7 years, and 12 hips required secondary extra-articular surgery. The clinical result was excellent in 25 hips, good in four and fair in two. Of the 29 hips for which detailed radiographs were available, 18 achieved Severin grade I, nine grade II and two grade III. There were no major complications and, in particular, no cases of avascular necrosis. The non-operative reduction of late-presenting developmental dysplasia of the hip is still a viable option. It has a potential for excellent results and a very low complication rate.
