Spontaneous recovery in the majority of stable dysplastic hips treated with active surveillance
The majority of Graf IIb stable dysplastic hips recover spontaneously in infants aged three to 4.5 months after six weeks of active surveillance. We recommend active surveillance with ultrasound as primary treatment for these infants. However, care must be taken with active surveillance in infants with a limited hip abduction.
