Ultrasonography (US) is a useful screening method for the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and congenital spinal anomalies in infants. In addition, US is a useful, noninvasive imaging modality for the diagnosis of transient synovitis in children. The early detection of DDH leads to a better prognosis without surgical intervention. Moreover, spinal US allows the detection of...

In modern adult anaesthetic practice uncorrected complex congenital heart lesions are rare. Persistent truncus arteriosus accounts for only 1.2-3% of all congenital heart malformations. If not corrected, fewer than 20% of these patients survive the first year of life. Here we report the successful management of an adult patient with uncorrected truncus arteriosus who presented for hip arthropla...

The less frequent variety of hip dislocation occurs before birth and may be associated with neuromuscular disorders such as arthrogryposis or myelomeningocele. The more common variety occurs at or shortly after birth. Therefore, in the common variety the acetabulum is well formed with secondary changes developing rapidly if the hip remains dislocated (13). Trueta (17) states that the latter oug...

Older patients presenting with hip fractures are some of the frailest and sickest patients in hospital. In addition to complex medical problems and comorbidities, they have to overcome the additional physiological challenges posed by the hip fracture itself, and subsequent surgery. Hip fracture associated morbidity and mortality at one year remains high. Published guidelines stress the need for...

Congenital leukemia is a rare disease which in clinically evident at birth or apparent within the first few weeks of life; The disease is more common in infants with downs syndrome.  We present a case of combined mongolism and congenital leukemia and reviewe some aspect of the disease. 

With the object of assessing the results of various methods of treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip used in this centre from 1920 to 1950, a clinical and radiographic review of all available cases was undertaken, the data being grouped according to the initial method of reduction. The results of treatment in this analysis have been assessed according to two criteria : 1) quality of th...
