The early results of surgical treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip by complex Dega method in children aged from 18 to 30 months has been presented. The reduction of the hip after all the obstacles and the elements of dysplasia has been removed was very stable. Derotation osteotomy of the femur in the hips of less than 50 degrees anteversion was not necessary. Avascular necrosis after surgical treatment alone was not observed, however its presence after previous conservative management worsened the results after the operation.
