Methods: 82 cases of pediatric developmental hip dislocation from May 2018 to September 2020 in our department were taken as the observation objects, and divided into the rehabilitation group and the basic group, using early rehabilitation nursing and using basic nursing respectively. Results: in comparison of FMA and VAS scores after nursing between the rehabilitation group and the basic group, those in the rehabilitation group were 27.58±3.77 (points) and 2.01±0.22 (points), respectively, and those in the basic group were 19.85±2.89 (points) and 3.87±0.52 (points), respectively (t = 9.852, P =0.000). The results were different. Conclusion: the effect of early rehabilitation nursing after the operation of children with developmental dislocation of hip joint is good and the method can be popularized.展开更多

Persi...Developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH) describes the spectrum of structural abnormalities that involve the growing hip. Early diagnosis and treatment is critical to provide the best possible functional outcome. Persistence of hip dysplasia into adolescence and adulthood may result in abnormal gait, decreased strength and increased rate of degenerative hip and knee joint disease. Despite efforts to recognize and treat all cases of DDH soon after birth, diagnosis is delayed in some children, and outcomes deteriorate with increasing delay of presentation. Different screening programs for DDH were implicated. The suspicion is raised based on a physical examination soon after birth. Radiography and ultrasonography are used to confirm the diagnosis. The role of other imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging, is still undetermined; however, extensive research is underway on this subject. Treatment depends on the age of the patient and the reducibility of the hip joint. At an early age and up to 6 mo, the main treatment is an abduction brace like the Pavlik harness. If this fails, closed reduction and spica casting is usually done. After the age of 18 mo, treatment usually consists of open reduction and hip reconstruction surgery. Various treatment protocols have been proposed. We summarize the current practice for detection and treatment of DDH, emphasizing updates in screening and treatment during the last two decades.展开更多

The complex femoral and acetabular anatomy makes standard reconstruction technically challenging. Acetabular coverage can be improved by medialization of the component or augmentation of the deficient areas with bone graft. Femoral shortening osteotomies are considered in cases of severe dysplasia and frankly dislocated hips. Each patient's unique anatomy dictates what options of reconstruction are available. The functional outcomes of THA in DDH are generally excellent, though higher rates of mechanical failure have been reported in this group. This article reviews the anatomy, classification, technical considerations, and outcomes of THA in patients with DDH.展开更多

Clinical diagnostic tests complement ultrasound imaging in allowing diagnosis, classification and monitoring of this condition. Classification systems relate to the alpha and beta angles in addition to the dynamic coverage index(DCI). Screening programmes for DDH show considerable geographic variation; certain risk factors have been identified which necessitate ultrasound assessment of the newborn. The treatment of DDH has undergone significant evolution, but the current gold standard is still the Pavlik harness. Duration of Pavlik harness treatment has been reported to range from 3 to 9.3 mo. The beta angle, DCI and the superior/lateral femoral head displacement can be assessed via ultrasound to estimate the likelihood of success. Success rates of between 7% and 99% have been reported when using the harness to treat DDH. Avascular necrosis remains the most devastating complication of harness usage with a reported rate of between 0% and 28%. Alternative non-surgical treatment methods used for DDH include devices proposed by LeD amany, Frejka, Lorenz and Ortolani. The Rosen splint and Wagner stocking have also been used for DDH treatment. Surgical treatment for DDH comprises open reduction alongside a combination of femoral or pelvic osteotomies. Femoral osteotomies are carried out in cases of excessive anteversion or valgus deformity of the femoral neck. The two principal pelvic osteotomies most commonly performed are the Salter osteotomy and Pemberton acetabuloplasty. Serious surgical complications include epiphyseal damage, sciatic nerve damage and femoral neck fracture.展开更多

Methods: A systematic review was performed for all the published articles in the English language literature on DDH in Saudi Arabia. Data sources were PubMed Medline (1980-2018) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), Ovid Medline (1980-2018), EMBASE MEDLINE (1980 to May 2018), EMBASE (1991 to May 2018), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Science Citation Index (1966 to May 2018), published data from the Saudi Medical Journal (1985-2018) and Annals of Saudi Medicine (1985-2018). The author independently reviewed articles and abstracted the data. The key words used were Saudi Arabia developmental dysplasia of the hip ORDDH, congenital hip dislocation or congenital subluxation of the hip, and congenital dysplasia of the hip. Results: The authors identified 18 potentially relevant articles published in the last 38 years, and 10 met the inclusion criteria. The 10 studies analyzed included 2037 studies of infants diagnosed with DDH;and they gave an average incidence of 10.46/1000. Two studies (303 subjects) did not report the affected gender;in the remaining 338 were boys and 1396 were girls and one study did not report the side of affection. The majority presented after 12 months of age. The right side was affected in 532 (27.2%) affected, 734 (37.6%) were left side and 687 (35.2%) infants were affected bilaterally. Consanguinity, breech presentation, and family history were found to be the risk factors in 32.9%, 17.3%, and 23.6% of the patients, respectively. Conclusions: There is paucity of available literature on DDH in Saudi Arabia. New strategies have to be developed that include mandatory screening programs in all hospitals (private and public) so that more children can be treated by nonsurgical methods.展开更多

Newborns were selected from public and private hospitals in Celaya, Guanajuato. Parents were asked to sign informed consent. Clinical maneuvers were applied for diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip, on three consecutive occasions, two by the same investigator and the third by a different observer: Ortolani, Barlow, Piston, Galeazzi, Peter Baden, the comparative sound transmission test, and comparative sound transmission with extension/flexion test were applied. The diagnosis was confirmed with ultrasound of hip, technique Graf, I healthy hip, II functionally immature, III subluxation, and IV dislocation. Sample size was 8 affected hips and 56 healthy hips. Kappa for intra observer and inter observer reliability were measured;the validity was measured by sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, using the ultrasound diagnosis as the gold standard. The sample consisted of 78 neonates hips with female’s predominance. With comparative sound transmission test was obtained Kappa intra observer 0.80, Kappa inter observer 0.93, sensitivity 45.45%, specificity 96.27%, positive predictive value 66.67% and negative predictive value 91.49%;with comparative sound transmission with extension/flexion, was 0.83, 0.92, 72.73%, 95.52%, 72.73%, and 95.52%, respectively. The tests compared the sound transmission help better diagnose developmental dysplasia disease of the hip.展开更多

Background/Aim: The present study was directed to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound (USG) in early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to prevent permanent complications. Material & Methods:...Background/Aim: The present study was directed to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound (USG) in early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to prevent permanent complications. Material & Methods: A total of 276 infants was investigated;their ages range from 1 - 6 months. Patients referred from the clinic based on clinical assessment (mainly Barlo & Ortolani maneuvers). Then the patient’s hips were examined by expert radiologists in USG scan. After that, dynamic (coronal and transverse) & static ultrasound views evaluated by the same radiologist using Graf’s criteria. Infants with abnormal ultrasound findings suggestive of DDH were followed up after 4 - 6 weeks by the same investigator to monitor the progress. At the same time, the patient referred to a specialist for conservative management from the first positive findings. Results: Among the 276 referred patients, infants with normal stable hips (Graf Type I and Type II a+) were 221 (80%), 155 of them were female and 66 male infants. Infants with unstable hips based on Graf’s criteria (Type II a-, II b, II c and Type III a) were 55 (20%). Out of 55 with abnormal findings, the affected hips on both sides, right and left were: 5 cases (1.8%), 7 (2.5%) and 43 hips (15.5%) consecutively. Out of 55 infants affected;3 referred to tertiary centers for further surgical management while 52 managed conservatively. Conclusion: Delayed treatment rates of DDH and complications could be reduced by the usage of the USG after the first month of life. In addition to physical assessment, USG for high-risk infants will provide more accurate diagnosis and minimize complications.展开更多

The role of molecular factors in the formation of connective tissue dysplasia in children is considered crucial for such multisystem disorders, and connective tissue dysplasia progressing involves immune system parameters and biochemical markers. The aim of this work was to establish the relationship between immune status indicators and biochemical markers of connective tissue using bioinformatics and modeling methods. Materials and Methods: 27 patients with congenital hip dislocation, admitted to the University Clinic of Privolzhsky Research Medical University, Department of children orthopedics for surgical treatment, were examined. Determination of 10 blood parameters was conducted by modern biochemical and immunological methods. Statistica 12.0 software from StatSoft was used for statistical data processing. Methods of nonparametric statistics were used since the samples in the control group partially follow the normal distribution. Correlation methods and regression modeling methods were used to evaluate the relationship of indicators. Results and Conclusion: In our investigation we have shown the presence of statistical and mathematical interactions between the parameters of innate immunity and indicators of connective tissue metabolism. The leading role of the immune system in the development of pathologies associated with connective tissue dysplasia is assumed. In further investigations it is necessary to clarify the role hypoxia in HIF-1 stimulated control of skeletal dysplasia, collagen modification, connective tissue dysplasia development.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a developmental abnormality of the hip joint that results from hypoplasia during birth and continues to deteriorate after birth.AIM To observe the effects of magnesium sulfate wet compress,iodophor wet compress,and ice compress on reducing postoperative perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation to provide effective nursing interventions in the clinic.METHODS A total of 120 children with hip dislocation after surgery in a third-class A hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were randomly divided into four groups,the magnesium sulfate wet compress group,iodophor wet compress group,ice compress group and the control group.Data such as height,weight,age,duration of surgery,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative body temperature,swelling duration,pain score,and incidence of blisters were collected and analyzed.RESULTS There were no significant differences in height,weight,age,duration of surgery,intraoperative blood loss,and postoperative body temperature among the four groups of children.Statistical differences were observed between the intervention groups and the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION All three methods significantly reduced postoperative perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation,reduced the duration of postoperative perineal swelling,reduced pain,and improved the quality of care.
文摘Objective: to explore the effect of early rehabilitation nursing intervention on the prognosis of children with developmental hip dislocation. Methods: 82 cases of pediatric developmental hip dislocation from May 2018 to September 2020 in our department were taken as the observation objects, and divided into the rehabilitation group and the basic group, using early rehabilitation nursing and using basic nursing respectively. Results: in comparison of FMA and VAS scores after nursing between the rehabilitation group and the basic group, those in the rehabilitation group were 27.58±3.77 (points) and 2.01±0.22 (points), respectively, and those in the basic group were 19.85±2.89 (points) and 3.87±0.52 (points), respectively (t = 9.852, P =0.000). The results were different. Conclusion: the effect of early rehabilitation nursing after the operation of children with developmental dislocation of hip joint is good and the method can be popularized.
文摘BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH)remains a significant public health challenge,particularly in developing countries where cultural factors and limited access to appropriate medical equipment complicate optimal management.AIM To evaluate the difficulties encountered in the management of DDH in our healthcare setting.METHODS A retrospective,single-center study was conducted over nine years(2015-2023),including 20 patients(26 hips)with idiopathic DDH.Patients with post-traumatic or post-infectious hip dislocations were excluded.Data collected included age at diagnosis,laterality,Tönnis classification,duration of traction,and surgical interventions.RESULTS The mean age at diagnosis was 35.6 months(4 months to 10.8 years).Dislocation was unilateral in 70%of cases;69.2%were classified as Tönnis stage 3 or 4.The average traction duration was 57.5 days.Surgery was performed in 8 hips.Among 16 patients with regular follow-up,10 showed good outcomes,3 excellent,and 3 fair according to the McKay score.Older age at treatment(>1 year),bilateral dislocation,and higher severity(Tönnis stages 3 and 4)were associated with worse functional outcomes.No significant correlation was found between functional and radiological results.Residual dysplasia occurred in 3 patients,and 1 re-dislocation was noted.CONCLUSION Delayed diagnosis and advanced severity at presentation are key challenges in managing DDH in our context.Nevertheless,appropriate management can achieve generally favorable outcomes,despite complications linked to prolonged treatment and resource limitations.
文摘BACKGROUND Hip dysplasia is a widespread and debilitating musculoskeletal disorder that affects children.Its prevalence varies across different nations.AIM To evaluate the prevalence of developmental hip dysplasia(DDH)within the pediatric population of Al Jouf province.METHODS From January 2018 to December 2023,children with DDH from all cities of Al Jouf were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study.The disease prevalence was calculated for the entire province as well as for individual cities within the territory.RESULTS The study included 427 patients with DDH with an overall prevalence of 0.50%,or 5.0 per 1000 live births.At the city level,Sakaka had the highest prevalence at 14.2 per 1000 Live births followed by Qurayyat at 2.2 per 1000 live births.In contrast,cities like Suwayr,Abu Ajram,and Meegowa did not show any incidence of DDH.Significant differences were observed in the sociodemographic characteristics,such as age,sex,and nationality,across the different cities(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The prevalence of DDH in the Al Jouf province is high.The data delivers invaluable insights into the epidemiology of DDH in the Al Jouf locality.The findings highlight the need for targeted screening of DDH across the province.

文摘Background:Developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH)is a prevalent pediatric condition with a multifactorial etiology.Its incidence varies geographically,with notably higher rates observed on the Xizang plateau.This study was performed to evaluate the lipidomics signatures associated with DDH by analyzing plasma samples.Methods:Fifty infants were recruited,including 25 diagnosed with DDH and 25 age-matched healthy controls.In addition to plasma samples,comprehensive laboratory test results and medical records were collected for each participant.An untargeted lipidomics profiling approach was employed to identify distinguishing metabolic signatures.Results:Lipidomics profiles differed significantly between patients with DDH and healthy controls.Several differential metabolites were identified,including triacylglycerol(TAG)(17:0/18:1/20:1),TAG(17:0/17:0/17:0),phosphatidylethanolamine(PE)(10:0/26:4),TAG(17:0/18:0/18:0),TAG(16:0/17:0/22:1),TAG(16:0/18:0/22:0),TAG(17:0/19:0/19:0),TAG(13:0/20:0/20:0),TAG(18:0/18:0/22:0),and TAG(16:0/20:0/20:0).The primary lipid species showing differences were TAGs and PE.Conclusions:Distinct shifts in lipidomics profiles were observed in infants with DDH.To the best of our knowledge,this study is the first to explore lipidomics signatures in patients with DDH.The combined assessment of TAG(17:0/18:1/20:1)and TAG(17:0/17:0/17:0)may serve as a potential diagnostic tool for DDH.
文摘An 87-year-old woman with a residual dislocated hip suffered a trochanteric fracture on the ipsilateral side. The fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation surgery with good results. To treat a proximal femoral fracture of the residual dislocated hip in an elderly patient, the patient’s overall status, pre-fracture ability, hip joint configuration, and fracture pattern should be considered.
文摘Developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH) describes the spectrum of structural abnormalities that involve the growing hip. Early diagnosis and treatment is critical to provide the best possible functional outcome. Persistence of hip dysplasia into adolescence and adulthood may result in abnormal gait, decreased strength and increased rate of degenerative hip and knee joint disease. Despite efforts to recognize and treat all cases of DDH soon after birth, diagnosis is delayed in some children, and outcomes deteriorate with increasing delay of presentation. Different screening programs for DDH were implicated. The suspicion is raised based on a physical examination soon after birth. Radiography and ultrasonography are used to confirm the diagnosis. The role of other imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging, is still undetermined; however, extensive research is underway on this subject. Treatment depends on the age of the patient and the reducibility of the hip joint. At an early age and up to 6 mo, the main treatment is an abduction brace like the Pavlik harness. If this fails, closed reduction and spica casting is usually done. After the age of 18 mo, treatment usually consists of open reduction and hip reconstruction surgery. Various treatment protocols have been proposed. We summarize the current practice for detection and treatment of DDH, emphasizing updates in screening and treatment during the last two decades.
文摘Total hip arthroplasty(THA) in developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH) presents many challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. The complex femoral and acetabular anatomy makes standard reconstruction technically challenging. Acetabular coverage can be improved by medialization of the component or augmentation of the deficient areas with bone graft. Femoral shortening osteotomies are considered in cases of severe dysplasia and frankly dislocated hips. Each patient's unique anatomy dictates what options of reconstruction are available. The functional outcomes of THA in DDH are generally excellent, though higher rates of mechanical failure have been reported in this group. This article reviews the anatomy, classification, technical considerations, and outcomes of THA in patients with DDH.
文摘Developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH) denotes a wide spectrum of conditions ranging from subtle acetabular dysplasia to irreducible hip dislocations. Clinical diagnostic tests complement ultrasound imaging in allowing diagnosis, classification and monitoring of this condition. Classification systems relate to the alpha and beta angles in addition to the dynamic coverage index(DCI). Screening programmes for DDH show considerable geographic variation; certain risk factors have been identified which necessitate ultrasound assessment of the newborn. The treatment of DDH has undergone significant evolution, but the current gold standard is still the Pavlik harness. Duration of Pavlik harness treatment has been reported to range from 3 to 9.3 mo. The beta angle, DCI and the superior/lateral femoral head displacement can be assessed via ultrasound to estimate the likelihood of success. Success rates of between 7% and 99% have been reported when using the harness to treat DDH. Avascular necrosis remains the most devastating complication of harness usage with a reported rate of between 0% and 28%. Alternative non-surgical treatment methods used for DDH include devices proposed by LeD amany, Frejka, Lorenz and Ortolani. The Rosen splint and Wagner stocking have also been used for DDH treatment. Surgical treatment for DDH comprises open reduction alongside a combination of femoral or pelvic osteotomies. Femoral osteotomies are carried out in cases of excessive anteversion or valgus deformity of the femoral neck. The two principal pelvic osteotomies most commonly performed are the Salter osteotomy and Pemberton acetabuloplasty. Serious surgical complications include epiphyseal damage, sciatic nerve damage and femoral neck fracture.
文摘The objective of this systematic literature review was to assess the incidence of DDH among the Saudi Arabian population. Methods: A systematic review was performed for all the published articles in the English language literature on DDH in Saudi Arabia. Data sources were PubMed Medline (1980-2018) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), Ovid Medline (1980-2018), EMBASE MEDLINE (1980 to May 2018), EMBASE (1991 to May 2018), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Science Citation Index (1966 to May 2018), published data from the Saudi Medical Journal (1985-2018) and Annals of Saudi Medicine (1985-2018). The author independently reviewed articles and abstracted the data. The key words used were Saudi Arabia developmental dysplasia of the hip ORDDH, congenital hip dislocation or congenital subluxation of the hip, and congenital dysplasia of the hip. Results: The authors identified 18 potentially relevant articles published in the last 38 years, and 10 met the inclusion criteria. The 10 studies analyzed included 2037 studies of infants diagnosed with DDH;and they gave an average incidence of 10.46/1000. Two studies (303 subjects) did not report the affected gender;in the remaining 338 were boys and 1396 were girls and one study did not report the side of affection. The majority presented after 12 months of age. The right side was affected in 532 (27.2%) affected, 734 (37.6%) were left side and 687 (35.2%) infants were affected bilaterally. Consanguinity, breech presentation, and family history were found to be the risk factors in 32.9%, 17.3%, and 23.6% of the patients, respectively. Conclusions: There is paucity of available literature on DDH in Saudi Arabia. New strategies have to be developed that include mandatory screening programs in all hospitals (private and public) so that more children can be treated by nonsurgical methods.
文摘BACKGROUND Femoral head fractures(FHFs)are considered relatively uncommon injuries;however,open reduction and internal fixation is preferred for most displaced fractures.Several surgical approaches had been utilized with controversial results;surgical hip dislocation(SHD)is among these approaches,with the reputation of being demanding and leading to higher complication rates.AIM To determine the efficacy and safety of SHD in managing FHFs by reviewing the results reported in the literature.METHODS Major databases including PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched to identify studies reporting on outcomes of SHD utilized as an approach in treating FHFs.We extracted basic studies data,surgery-related data,functional outcomes,radiological outcomes,and postoperative complications.We calculated the mean differences for continuous data with 95%confidence intervals for each outcome and the odds ratio with 95%confidence intervals for binary outcomes.P<0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS Our search retrieved nine studies meeting our inclusion criteria,with a total of 129 FHFs.The results of our analysis revealed that the average operation time was 123.74 min,while the average blood loss was 491.89 mL.After an average followup of 38.4 mo,a satisfactory clinical outcome was achieved in 85%of patients,ranged from 30%to 86%,with avascular necrosis,heterotopic ossification,and osteoarthritis being the most common complications occurring at an incidence of 12%,25%,and 16%,respectively.Trochanteric flip osteotomy nonunion and trochanteric bursitis as a unique complication of SHD occurred at an incidence of 3.4%and 3.8%,respectively.CONCLUSION The integration of SHD approach for dealing with FHFs offered acceptable functional and radiological outcomes with a wide range of safety in regards to the hip joint vascularity and the development of avascular necrosis,the formation of heterotopic ossification,and the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis;however,it still carries its unique risk of trochanteric flip osteotomy nonunion and persistent lateral thigh pain.

文摘BACKGROUND A patient with advanced tuberculosis of the hip joint combined with Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH)and a drainage sinus is a rare condition.There are no previous reports of this condition,and it is a complex challenge for surgeons to develop a treatment scheme.CASE SUMMARY We report a 73-year-old male patient with severe hip pain and drainage sinus of the left hip for one month.Approximately 40 years ago,a drainage sinus occurred at the lateral left hip was healed at the local hospital with anti-infectious therapy.After the sinus healed,gradual pain occurred in the left hip for 40 years.Approximately one month prior,hip pain was sharply aggravated,and a drainage sinus reoccurred in the left hip.The X-ray and computed tomography examinations showed destruction of the head and neck of the left femur,as well as an acetabular deformity.The results of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibody and Xpert were positive.Therefore,the patient was diagnosed with advanced TH combined with Crowe type IV DDH.After 22 d of treatment with anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy,the sinus healed,and the patient underwent one-stage total hip arthroplasty(THA)surgery consisting of debridement,osteotomy,and joint replacement.After surgery,the patient received anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy drugs for nine months,with no recurrent infection.After one year of follow-up,the Harris score of the patient increased from 21 pre-THA to 86.CONCLUSION Although drainage sinuses are a contraindication to one-stage THA,one-stage THA is still an effective and safe surgical method after the sinus heals.
文摘The developmental dysplasia of the hip disease is in 1% of newborns, and it is a risk factor for dislocation of the hip;only 1 from 7000 newborns develops dislocation of the hip. Newborns were selected from public and private hospitals in Celaya, Guanajuato. Parents were asked to sign informed consent. Clinical maneuvers were applied for diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip, on three consecutive occasions, two by the same investigator and the third by a different observer: Ortolani, Barlow, Piston, Galeazzi, Peter Baden, the comparative sound transmission test, and comparative sound transmission with extension/flexion test were applied. The diagnosis was confirmed with ultrasound of hip, technique Graf, I healthy hip, II functionally immature, III subluxation, and IV dislocation. Sample size was 8 affected hips and 56 healthy hips. Kappa for intra observer and inter observer reliability were measured;the validity was measured by sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, using the ultrasound diagnosis as the gold standard. The sample consisted of 78 neonates hips with female’s predominance. With comparative sound transmission test was obtained Kappa intra observer 0.80, Kappa inter observer 0.93, sensitivity 45.45%, specificity 96.27%, positive predictive value 66.67% and negative predictive value 91.49%;with comparative sound transmission with extension/flexion, was 0.83, 0.92, 72.73%, 95.52%, 72.73%, and 95.52%, respectively. The tests compared the sound transmission help better diagnose developmental dysplasia disease of the hip.
文摘BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement(FAI)is a predisposing factor for secondary osteoarthritis of the hip joint.The two extensively described impingement mechanisms of FAI are CAM and Pincer-type.Initially managed conservatively,operative intervention should be offered to the persistently symptomatic patient.The measurement of the alpha angle is considered a standard method of assessing the severity of pathology in Cam-type FAI on pre-operative plain radiographs.The radiological correction of the alpha angle has not been previously compared between different surgical approaches.We hypothesize that there is no difference in alpha angle correction between Ganz surgical hip dislocation and the anterior mini-open approach.AIM To compare the magnitude of alpha angle correction achieved by using the Ganz surgical hip dislocation and the anterior mini-open approach.METHODS This is a retrospective study assessing seventy-nine patients identified in a 5-year period.These patients had preoperative radiographic evidence of FAI and underwent surgery by a single surgeon at our institution,a tertiary care center.Patients with missing radiographic documentation,radiographs with insufficient quality which then precluded accurate measurement of the angleα,a diagnosed congenital condition,isolated type II pathology(Pincer),and history of prior surgery were excluded from the study.Either the Ganz surgical hip dislocation or the anterior mini open approach was used.Postoperative radiographic evaluation of the alpha angle between the two surgical methods was done and corrected for age and gender using two-sample t-tests and Chi-square analyses.RESULTS A total of 79 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Forty-seven males(mean age of 35.3,range 16-53)and 32 females(mean age 36.7,range 16-60)were enrolled.Forty-seven patients underwent the anterior mini-open approach,and 32 underwent the Ganz surgical hip dislocation.There were no significant differences in age between the two surgical groups or in pre-and post-operative alpha angles based on patient gender.The mean pre-operative alpha angle for the Ganz surgical hip dislocation group was 88.0 degrees(SD 12.3)and 99.4 degrees(SD 7.2)for the anterior mini-open group.Mean post-operative angles were 49.9 degrees(SD 4.3)for the Ganz surgical hip dislocation and 43.8(SD 4.3)degrees for the anterior mini-open group.There was a statistically significant difference in patient’s pre-operative and post-operative angles(P=0.000)with both surgical approaches.CONCLUSION Statistically significant decreases in alpha angle were noted for both surgical techniques,with larger decreases seen in the anterior mini-open group.
文摘BACKGROUND:Traumatic bilateral hip dislocation is a rare condition.Anterior shoulder dislocation combined with this condition is even a rare occurrence.A 57-year-old man had bilateral asymmetric hip dislocation with a posterior wall fracture of the left acetabulum associated with right shoulder anterior dislocation caused by falling down from a cherry tree.Traumatic hip dislocation and anterior shoulder dislocation represent a true orthopedic emergency.METHODS:Closed reduction was performed immediately for three of the dislocated joints.Posterior wall fracture of the left acetabulum was treated with open reduction and internal fixation by screws.Because of the severity of associated complications like aseptic necrosis or posttraumatic osteoarthritis,efforts were made to ensure prompt diagnosis,therapy and prognosis.RESULTS:The patient was successfully treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the left acetabulum,and discharged from the hospital.CONCLUSION:Traumatic asymmetric hip dislocation and anterior shoulder dislocation are an orthopedic emergency and early diagnosis with immediate reduction of the dislocation is the key determinants of excellent result of treatment.

文摘Developmental dysplasia of hip seriously affects the health of children,and pelvic osteotomy is an important part of surgical treatment.Improving the shape of the acetabulum,preventing or delaying the progression of osteoarthritis is the ultimate goal of pelvic osteotomies.Re-directional osteotomies,reshaping osteotomies and salvage osteotomies are the three most common types of pelvic osteotomy.The influence of different pelvic osteotomy on acetabular morphology is different,and the acetabular morphology after osteotomy is closely related to the prognosis of the patients.But there lacks comparison of acetabular morphology between different pelvic osteotomies,on the basis of retrospective analysis and measurable imaging indicators,this study predicted the acetabular shape after developmental dysplasia of the hip pelvic osteotomy in order to help clinicians make reasonable and correct decisions and improve the planning and performance of pelvic osteotomy.
文摘AIM To determine if there was a seasonal variation in adults undergoing total hip arthroplasty for end stage hip disease due to osteoarthritis(OA)or sequelae of developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH).METHODS The total hip registry from the author's institution for the years 1969 to 2013 was reviewed.The month of birth,age,gender,and ethnicity was recorded.Differences between number of births observed and expected in the winter months(October through February)and non-winter mo(March through September)were analyzed with theχ2 test.Detailed temporal variation was mathematically assessed using cosinor analysis.RESULTS There were 7792 OA patients and 60 DDH patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty.There were more births than expected in the winter months for both the DDH(P<0.0001)and OA(P=0.0052)groups.Cosinor analyses demonstrated a peak date of birth on 1st October.CONCLUSION These data demonstrate an increased prevalence of DDH and OA in those patients born in winter.
文摘Background/Aim: The present study was directed to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound (USG) in early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to prevent permanent complications. Material & Methods: A total of 276 infants was investigated;their ages range from 1 - 6 months. Patients referred from the clinic based on clinical assessment (mainly Barlo & Ortolani maneuvers). Then the patient’s hips were examined by expert radiologists in USG scan. After that, dynamic (coronal and transverse) & static ultrasound views evaluated by the same radiologist using Graf’s criteria. Infants with abnormal ultrasound findings suggestive of DDH were followed up after 4 - 6 weeks by the same investigator to monitor the progress. At the same time, the patient referred to a specialist for conservative management from the first positive findings. Results: Among the 276 referred patients, infants with normal stable hips (Graf Type I and Type II a+) were 221 (80%), 155 of them were female and 66 male infants. Infants with unstable hips based on Graf’s criteria (Type II a-, II b, II c and Type III a) were 55 (20%). Out of 55 with abnormal findings, the affected hips on both sides, right and left were: 5 cases (1.8%), 7 (2.5%) and 43 hips (15.5%) consecutively. Out of 55 infants affected;3 referred to tertiary centers for further surgical management while 52 managed conservatively. Conclusion: Delayed treatment rates of DDH and complications could be reduced by the usage of the USG after the first month of life. In addition to physical assessment, USG for high-risk infants will provide more accurate diagnosis and minimize complications.
文摘Introduction: Observing and treatment of hip dysplasia in children have always been in the sphere of interest of modern molecular medicine. The role of molecular factors in the formation of connective tissue dysplasia in children is considered crucial for such multisystem disorders, and connective tissue dysplasia progressing involves immune system parameters and biochemical markers. The aim of this work was to establish the relationship between immune status indicators and biochemical markers of connective tissue using bioinformatics and modeling methods. Materials and Methods: 27 patients with congenital hip dislocation, admitted to the University Clinic of Privolzhsky Research Medical University, Department of children orthopedics for surgical treatment, were examined. Determination of 10 blood parameters was conducted by modern biochemical and immunological methods. Statistica 12.0 software from StatSoft was used for statistical data processing. Methods of nonparametric statistics were used since the samples in the control group partially follow the normal distribution. Correlation methods and regression modeling methods were used to evaluate the relationship of indicators. Results and Conclusion: In our investigation we have shown the presence of statistical and mathematical interactions between the parameters of innate immunity and indicators of connective tissue metabolism. The leading role of the immune system in the development of pathologies associated with connective tissue dysplasia is assumed. In further investigations it is necessary to clarify the role hypoxia in HIF-1 stimulated control of skeletal dysplasia, collagen modification, connective tissue dysplasia development.
文摘BACKGROUND Traumatic hip dislocation usually occurs following high-velocity trauma.It is imperative that the dislocation be reduced in a timely manner,especially in a closed manner,as an orthopedic emergency.However,closed reduction can hardly be achieved in patients who also have ipsilateral lower extremity fractures.Herein,we focus on hip dislocation associated with ipsilateral lower extremity fractures,excluding intracapsular fractures(femoral head and neck fractures),present an early closed hip joint reduction method for this injury pattern,and review the literature to discuss the appropriate closed reduction technique for this rare injury pattern.CASE SUMMARY We report a case of a 37-year-old male who sustained a left acetabular posterior wall fracture,an ipsilateral comminuted subtrochanteric fracture and dislocation of the hip.The hip dislocation was reduced urgently in a closed manner using the joy-stick technique with a T-shaped Schanz screw.The fractures were reduced and fixed as a 2nd-stage surgery procedure.At the 17-month postoperative follow-up,the patient had full range of motion of the affected hip.CONCLUSION Closed reduction of a hip dislocation associated with ipsilateral lower extremity fractures is rarely achieved by regular maneuvers.Attempts at closed reduction,by means of indirectly controlling the proximal fracture fragment or reconstructing the femoral leverage rapidly with the aid of various external reduction apparatuses,were shown to be effective in some scenarios.Mandatory open reduction is indicated in cases of failed closed reduction,particularly in irreducible dislocations.
