RESUMEN
From 1968 to 1972, twenty-three infants under six months old with twenty-seven dislocated hips were treated with a Pavlik harness. All the dislocations except three were successfully reduced. Only one child required hospitalization. All the patients were followed for more than two years. All but three of the hips were clinically and roentgenographically normal at follow-up, and none had avascular necrosis. In infants, the Pavlik harness successfully utilizes the principle of reduction in flexion, avoiding forced abduction.

Acquired aplastic anemia is a rare hematologic disease characterized by a hypoplastic bone marrow and peripheral pnacytopenia. In severe cases, where conservative medical management has been unsuccessful, bone marrow transplantation is now being performed. Between the years 1971 and 1975, twenty-two patients with severe aplastic anemia were seen at the Children's Hospital Medical Center. This article discusses the oral presentations of aplastic anemia and the dental management of nine patients without and thirteen with transplantations.
