During this period, simple reduction of the dislocated hip will usually result in cure. When displacement of the femoral head is not great the following points on roentgen examination suggest congenital dislocation: shelving of the upper portion of the acetabulum, decrease in size of the center of ossification and displacement of the femur upward and outward.Arthrography in Congenital Dislocation of the Hip.  —Severin,2 at the Orthopedic Clinic in Stockholm, Sweden, has been able to outline the hip joint in roentgenograms by means of a solution of perabrodil (skiodan; sodium monoiodomethane sulfonate). The material is injected into the hip joint with a modified lumbar puncture needle.
