Eighteen children aged between zero and seven months have been treated by a method using Scott's harness to maintain the hips in hyperflexion. Twenty one hips were subluxated. In two cases, the method was inadequate and the hips had to be treated by progressive traction. In one case osteochondritis developed. In other cases the treatment was successful. The technical details of this technique are given.
