Hip spica cast is a useful modality for the lower limb immobilization in children with hip and femur pathologies. Single, one half, double may be applied depending on indication. The position of also dependent underlying pathology which being applied. inguinal region knee are potential weak spots these should reinforce during application. Potential complications include plaster sores, breakage,...

Fifty-one infants with limited abduction of the hip and acetabular dysplasia were, between 1969 and 1975, treated with abduction-adduction exercises, administered by the parents; no abduction devices were used. In 1983 a follow-up examination was carried out on 41 of these patients. Although at birth these children had characteristics similar to patients with congenital dislocation of the hip, ...

BACKGROUND The role of hip arthroscopy in the treatment of patients with dysplasia is unclear because of the spectrum of dysplasia that exists. Patients with borderline dysplasia are generally not candidates for periacetabular osteotomy because of the invasive nature of the procedure. However, arthroscopy in dysplasia has had mixed results and has the potential to exacerbate instability. HYPO...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the Finnish Kennel Club's hip-dysplasia screening and control programs. As a retrospective study, records of hip-dysplasia screening of 69,349 dogs in 22 breeds that were born in 1988-1995 were analyzed and compared to data from prior to 1988. In most breeds, no significant changes in dysplasia prevalence could be found. In English cocker spaniels, golden an...

OBJECTIVES To determine the acetabular depth as well as acetabular and centre edge angles; to assess the influence of sex, if any, in these geometric measurements; and to determine the prevalence of hip dysplasia in adult Malawians. DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) and Blantyre Adventist Hospital (BAH). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The acetabular and ...

Hip dysplasia is a significant public health issue, representing the single largest cause for total hip arthroplasty in young adults. To gain insight into patient concerns and impact of on adults, we developed patient-centred outcome measure, 'Quality Life Impact Concerns' (QoLI&C) measure. This short report provides additional evidence test-retest reliability suggests refinements to measure en...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip is technically challenging. This group of patients has a higher incidence of nerve injury during THA. Although neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring has been developed to provide nerve monitoring, it is not always available. The wake-up test has been used for intraoperative spinal cord monitorin...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to answer the following two questions: 1) Do the radiological parameters of dysplasia have significant correlations between themselves or with the parameters of the proximal femoral deformity and vice versa? 2) Do the physical parameters have a significant correlation with the radiological parameters of hip dysplasia and proximal femoral deformity? METHODS...

Genetic parameters, breeding values, and genetic trends of hip dysplasia in Estrela Mountain Dogs were estimated using a linear model (LM) and a threshold model (TM). A database with 313 animals was used. Right and left hip joints were individually scored, according to the Fédération Cynologic Internationale grading rules of the canine hip dysplasia system, as normal (1), borderline (2), slight...
