Abstract
Coxofemoral (CF) luxation may be caused by hip dysplasia, degenerative joint disease or external trauma and is diagnosed by palpation and radiography. When there are no complicating factors, most simple luxations can be reduced closed if there are treated within the first 4 to 5 days after injury...If closed reduction is unsuccessful, surgeries such as femoral head osteotomy (FHO) or total hip replacement (THR) may be recommended. Not all patients are candidates for surgery due to concurrent illness, age or caretake financial constraints. Tui-na manipulation and Cahyono's modified figure-8 bandage was instituted as an alternative treatment for CF luxation over a 6 month period at the author's clinic. A total of 15 clinic cases underwent the alternative treatment. Recovery time using this treatment had a mean of 3.5 days (3.5 + 4.5) with an 80% success rate.
