OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study was to assess the ultrasonographic features of hip joints in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type I and II in comparison with healthy population. The secondary aims were to correlate these features with clinical measures and to evaluate the utility of ultrasound in the diagnosis of MPS disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen MPS I (n = 3) and ...

The hip joint gains its vascular supply from the superior gluteal arteries as well as from the medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries with the first perforating artery. In gluteal trauma, the superior and inferior gluteal artery may be affected which may end with vascular insult of hip joint. The current study includes a dissection of 171 cadavers to examine the vascular supply of hip j...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of resistance direction in hip joint stabilization exercise on change in lateral abdominal muscle thickness in healthy adults. Twenty-six healthy adults were randomly allocated to either a hip stabilization exercise by hip straight resistance group (n=12) or a hip diagonal resistance group (n=14). The outcome measures included contraction thick...

other serotypes, S. paratyphi B (S. schottmuelleri) is an uncommon human pathogen(l). Toxic synovitis of the hip refers to a transient, nonspecific, unilateral inflammatory arthritis involving the hip joint(2). It is a clinical diagnosis which is confirmed by excluding other causes for joint symptoms. In this communication, we describe a case of S. paratyphi B septicemia in a neonate presenting...

The sensory innervation of the hip joint is complex. The joint and sensory branch block of the obturator and femoral nerves is effective for treating the pain caused due to different hip diseases. This could be an option to be considered in certain circumstances such as, being a surgical-anaesthetic high risk, or if there is significant overweight, It could also be useful on other occasions if ...

Residual hip dysplasia is one of the most common causes of secondary osteoarthritis of the hip joint. It is suggested that excessive hip joint contact stress due to small weight-bearing area is an important precipitating factor for the development of hip arthrosis (Hadley et al., 1990; Hipp et al., 1999; Maxian et al., 1995). Dysplasia of the hip refers to mechanical deformations and deviations...

conclusion of the asymptomatic patients investigated, 58% showed focal enhanced periprosthetic glucose metabolism. this finding should be taken into consideration as a more probable unspecific metabolic pattern for correct interpretation of 18f-fdg-pet studies in patients with suspected septic loosening of the hip prosthesis. results fourteen hip prostheses in 12 patients were visually analyzed...

INTRODUCTION Femoral nerve compression due to a cystic lesion around the hip joint is rare and only a few cases have been described in the literature. Among these, true ganglion cysts are even more rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with femoral nerve compression caused by a true ganglion cyst of the hip joint. CONCLUSION A high index of suspicion is required ...

We presented a case in which massive hydroxyapatite accumulation was observed around the artificial hip joint. A 66-year-old female showed a massive accumulation of fluid in and around the hip joint, and milk-like aspirate was obtained. Her aspirate culture was negative, and sediment analysis by X-ray diffraction showed that its component was hydroxyapatite. Since pain was mild, the patient was...

The hip joint is a strongly loaded joint and highly vulnerable to any diseases and pathological changes related to loading conditions (Wall, 2002). Improper load distribution in the hip joint leads to its pathological changes that consist in anomalous growth of the acetabulum and femur. In the most drastic clinical cases the only way of treatment is to replace the natural degenerated joint with...
