BACKGROUND Herein, we evaluated, retrospectively, the effect of posterior capsular repair upon postoperative hip dislocation subsequent to total hip arthroplasty (THA) incorporating a posterolateral approach. METHODS A total of 181 patients undergoing 204 primary non-complicated THA surgical procedures in the period from January 2000 to October 2005 inclusively were included in this study. Th...

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of soft-tissue release on hip subluxation and dislocation in cerebral palsy as well as activities of daily living after surgery. Patients and Methods: Soft-tissue release was performed in 13 patients (19 hips) with cerebral palsy. Of them, 10 had spastic quadriplegia and three had spastic diplegia. Mean ages were 8.6 years at surgery and...

In their review of the late results of the treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip Muller and Seddon (1953) commented that between the ages of twenty-three and thirty-three years nearly half the previously satisfactory joints become troublesome in one way or another. When reduction of the dislocation has been achieved, the problem usually becomes one of treatment of a degenerative arthri...

INTRODUCTION Hip dislocation in a child less than 3 years is a very rare event. Only a few case reports have been documented in Western literature. It is rarely reported from Indian population. Hip dislocations are mostly due to low velocity injury in children younger than 3 years. We report such a case of hip dislocation in a 2 year old child. CASE REPORT A 25 month old child presented to ou...

PATIENT Male, 43 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Neurofibromatosis Symptoms: Hip pain Medication: - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Orthopedics and Traumatology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a disease known for orthopedic manifestations such as spine deformities, congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia and other bony dysplasias; joint dislocations are rare. Joint arthriti...

We report our experience with a unilateral congenital dislocation of the knee associated with a developmental dysplasia of the hip on the same side. Our case is a good example of congenital dislocation of the knee caused by abnormal intrauterine pressure leading to this type of congenital postural deformity. To our knowledge this is the first case of congenital dislocation of the knee reported ...

This paper reports the results of screening 53033 infants for congenital dislocation of the hip between 1970 and 1979, and compares them with the results of a similar screening programme between 1960 to 1969. The number of dislocations missed at neonatal examination is unaltered at 0.11 per cent of live births. Operative treatment was needed in a further 0.07 per cent of the recent series even ...

during an eight month prospective study, 8240 newborns were examined for detection of congenital dislocation of the hip from oct. 23, 1991 to june 22, 1992. on first examination we found 1302 neonates (158/1000 live births) to have abnormal hips 1063 (81.6%) were prone to subluxation (subluxatable), 218 (16.81 %) prone to dislocation (dislocatable), 17 (1.3%) were dislocated and 4 (0.3%) were t...

We compared the success of the screening programmes for congenital dislocation of the hip in two hospitals in the same district, as applied to 68,861 live births over 11 years. Both used only clinical tests on new-born infants. Screening was less successful when the tests were done by junior paediatric physicians than by senior physiotherapists supervised by an orthopaedic surgeon. Clinical scr...
