the current study was conducted in order to examine the effectiveness of shelf procedure in symptomatic adult patients due to hip dysplasia. this study is retrospective and was performed on patients who had undergone surgery by one orthopaedic surgical team during the past 20 years. twenty-three men and twenty-three women were enrolled in the study with a mean age of 29.3 years at the time of o...

We observed the upward displacement of femoral heads in skeletal remains two females unearthed from medieval cemetery monastery Santa Maria Valle, Cividale del Friuli (North-Eastern Italy). Examination bone vestiges suggests diagnosis hip dislocation as consequence developmental dysplasia hip. In addition, youngest subject first sacral vertebra appears lumbarized and shows unilateral defect rig...

INTRODUCTION Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common congenital musculoskeletal abnormality. Recourse to definitive surgical treatment is not typically taken until over the age of 18-24 months. International consensus regarding age at surgery, degree of dysplasia requiring surgery and type of osteotomy is not available in the literature. STUDY AIMS To determine variation i...

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 ...

We investigated the variables which determine the outcome after triple osteotomy of the pelvis for the treatment of congenital dysplasia of the hip. We reviewed 51 patients (61 hips) with a median age at operation of 23 years who were treated with a Tönnis triple osteotomy. The median follow-up was six years with a minimum of two years. Eight patients (eight hips) required a revision procedure....

Colonna capsular arthroplasty represents an option for the management of chronic hip dislocation in young patients with dysplasia. In the appropriate patient, modern capsular arthroplasty procedures may provide an opportunity for hip preservation in patients with preserved femoral head cartilage and not appropriate for total hip arthroplasty. Here, we review our experience with surgical disloca...

Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia (SED) accompanying with congenital joint dislocations; is a genetic disease different subtypes that progress multiple dislocations. It occurs due to mutation in the CHST3 gene. This syndrome requires long and cascading surgeries, which presents short-bodied dwarfism, dislocations range of motion (ROM) limitations (knee, hip, elbow). In this case report, we describe ...

Deepening and generalization of already existing knowledge about rare diseases congenital anomalies are becoming relevant in modern medicine. Congenital malformations often combined with other abnormalities, including the genitourinary tract. It is assumed that there a model associated limited to specific area body.
