This thesis analyzes whether the Tübingen splint can be used as a reposition orthosis for treating developmental dysplasia of the hip. Over the period of 10 years, 111 patients up to the age of 6 weeks, with hip dysplasia type IIc instable or worse in the Graf classification were treated primarily with the Tübingen splint. If this treatment showed little effect in the ultrasonography control examination, treatment was switched to Fettweis cast. After the patients were capable of walking, the long-term success was verified by measuring the AC-angle in x-rays of the pelvis.
