1. Acknowledge the spectrum of hip pathology included in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). 2. Identify newborns at risk for DDH. 3. Diagnose hip dislocations by using appropriate physical examination maneuvers. 4. Appropriately use imaging modalities to screen for DDH in infants who have normal or equivocal physical findings. 5. Recognize the presentation of hip dislocation in the older...

In a 10-year retrospective study of 25 921 consecutive deliveries in a neonatal unit in Newcastle upon Tyne 271 cases of congenital dislocation of the hips were identified. Of these, the outcome was unsatisfactory in 12: four diagnoses were missed at birth and eight children required further surgical treatment. Radiological abnormalities were detected in a further five children at long-term fol...

Of 54 patients with posterior dislocations of the hip of type I and type II (Stewart and Milford 1954), 47 were followed for a mean period of 6.7 years (2 to 11). Of these, 23 had dislocation with minimal lesions of the acetabulum (type I) and 24 had an avulsed dorsocranial fragment (type II). All were reduced by closed methods within six hours. The subsequent treatment of type I dislocations w...

This paper reports an investigation of the incidence of persistent generalised joint laxity in patients with congenital dislocation of the hip and in normal school children. Capsular laxity has attracted much attention in studies of the etiology of congenital dislocation of the hip joint. At first it was thought to be an isolated result of mechanical stretching. but it is now usually considered...

If adequate examination of all newborn infants is done regularly, congenital dislocation of the hip should theoretically never be seen in the adult. Nevertheless many adults with dislocations untreated or unsuccessfully treated still abound in Canada. It is well recognised that people who grow up with unreduced congenital dislocation of the hip may have little or no disability. ln the Canadian ...

In a previous paper (von Rosen 1964) on the diagnosis and treatment of congenital dlslocation of the hip joint in the newborn our experience up to 1964 was summarised as follows. I ) Congenital dislocation of the hip can be diagnosed immediately after birth and the diagnosis can be confirmed radiologically by a special technique. 2) If the affected joint is reduced during the first three or fou...

UNLABELLED Dislocation remains the leading early complication of total hip arthroplasty; surgical approach and implant positioning have been recognized as factors influencing total hip arthroplasty stability. We describe a total hip arthroplasty technique done through a single, tissue sparing anterior approach that allows implantation of the femoral and acetabular components without detaching o...

We report a case of interposition of a broken trochanteric wire in the hip joint. This caused early wear of the prosthesis and dislocation of the Charnley total hip arthroplasty. The patient was treated with a revision total hip arthroplasty. This rare complication should be taken into consideration when performing a trochanteric osteotomy fixation with wiring in Charnley total hip arthroplasty.

Dislocation is a complicated condition after total hip arthroplasty, and has been research focus world widely.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to evaluate results of dual mobility total replacement in a high risk population who take hip into hyperflexed position while sitting and praying on the floor. METHOD The study included 65 (35 primary total replacement and 30 complex total hip replacement) cases of total hip replacement using avantage privilege dual mobility cup system from biomet. A cem...
