Orthopaedic surgeons specialising in adult hip reconstruction surgery often face the problem of osteoarthritis secondary to congenital hip disease (CHD). To achieve better communication among physicians, better treatment planning and evaluation of the results of various treatment options, an agreed terminology is needed to describe the entire pathology. Furthermore, a generally accepted classif...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) or congenital hip dysplasia (CDH) is the most prevalent developmental childhood hip disorder. It includes a wide spectrum of hip abnormalities ranging from dysplasia to subluxation and complete dislocation of the hip joint. The natural history of neglected DDH in adults is highly variable. The mean age of onset of symptoms is 34.5 years for dysplastic DD...

background : developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh), formerly known as congenital dislocation of the hip (cdh) is a common congenital malformation which occurs worldwide with variable frequencies in respect to the race and geographic distribution.    objective: to determine the incidence of ddh, its predisposing factors and the diagnostic value of click for its detection.   methods : in a cro...

case report: we report a 44-year-old man with right femoral nerve palsy following delayed reduction of an anterior dislocation of hip. conclusion: two months after closed reduction, complete clinical recovery of right femoral nerve was achieved and the patient was able to resume his job. introduction: incidence of nerve injury in traumatic hip dislocations is up to 10 %. sciatic nerve is the mo...

habitual dislocation of the hip (hdh) in children is a rare entity and can be a causative factor for popping or snapping hip which is a common problem in children with good prognosis. we report a case of hdh in a 9 year old girl who was suffering from frequent snapping hip at night, its course and treatment process.

Between 1949 and 1972, 24 children under the age of 16 years were admitted to Middlemore Hospital with traumatic dislocation of a hip. Half of these were between 12 and 15 years of age, and there was a predominance of boys in the ratio of 7:1. A survey of these children supports the view that the hip joint of a child becomes dislocated more readily than that of an adult.

Management of geriatric hip fractures in a protocol-driven center can improve outcomes and reduce costs. Nonetheless, this approach has not spread as broadly as the effectiveness data would imply. One possible explanation is that operating such a center is not perceived as financially worthwhile. To assess the economic viability of dedicated hip fracture centers, the authors built a financial m...
