This study was designed to determine the incidence of congenital dislocation of the hip on the island of Lastovo in the period from 1885 to 1993. There was a total of 19 infants with congenital dislocation of the hip out of the 3676 babies who were born alive. The overall incidence accounted for 5.2/1000 live births. Our findings demonstrated that a high incidence of the disease (57.9%) was str...

, Abstract—Background: Bedside ultrasound in the emergency department is being used with increasing frequency and for an increasing scope of conditions. Objectives: Demonstrate the use of bedside ultrasound as an adjunct for diagnosis of hip dislocation. Case Report: A traumatic anterior hip dislocation was diagnosed with bedside ultrasound after an initial normal plain radiograph. Conclusion: ...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is one of the most common autosomal dominant disorders affecting humans. Patients with NF-1 may present with characteristic orthopaedic manifestations such as scoliosis, congenital pseudoarthrosis and limb hyperttrophy. Dislocation of the hip associated with NF-1 is a rare occurrence. There is a relative paucity of reported cases of pathological hip dislocation i...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate clinical features, treatment and relationship to the time period between dislocation, reduction and early complications of traumatic dislocation of hip in children. METHODS Case series conducted at Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre Karachi from July 2005 to August 2009. Children with traumatic hip dislocation up to fifteen years of age who presented in last four years...

Bilateral hip dislocation occurring as a result of trauma is a rare condition. Simultaneous anterior and posterior traumatic dislocation of both hips is even more unusual. A case is reported of bilateral asymmetrical traumatic hip dislocation in previously normal hips in a 20 year old adult male without an associated fracture of the pelvis or femur. An unusual mechanism for this injury is also ...

INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic fractures and dislocation in the early post-operative period can be disastrous both for the surgeon and the patient. However, undisplaced periprosthetic fractures presenting with dislocation is uncommon. We describe successful management of two cases (one bilateral dislocation and one unilateral dislocation) of undisplaced iatrogenic fractures in total hip arthroplas...

Arthroscopic hip surgery has become an established diagnostic and therapeutic method for addressing different hip pathologies. This paper focuses on hip arthroscopy for treating hip disorders in children under the age of 10. Arthroscopic hip surgery was performed 30 times on 24 children to address various hip pathologies. Indications were septic arthritis, benign soft tissue tumors, traumatic a...

The incidence of congenital dislocation of the hip in 156 children with infantile idiopathic scoliosis was 6.4 per cent, approximately 10 times its frequency in the general population. In both of these deformities there was a predominance of girls (eight girls: two boys). In unilateral dislocation of the hip the convexity of the thoracic scoliosis was on the same side as the dislocation. Eight ...

Traumatic hip dislocation in children has a relatively rare occurrence. There are some residual complications, such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head, growth disturbance caused by premature fusion, neurological injury, recurrent dislocation, and posttraumatic arthritis. There is no consensus in the literature about the period of non-weight bearing after reduction. A rare case of a 13-ye...
