Simultaneous bilateral total knee replacement.

This paper summarises our experience of twenty one patients with degenerative arthritis treated by bilateral simultaneous total knee replacement (BSTKR) in Tawakal Hospital in a period of twenty two months vis. January 1994 to November 1995. The results were analysed according to the scoring system of Hospital for Special Surgery. The preliminary observations were encouraging, 90% excellent, 8% good and 2% fair results. The benefits, safety and cost effectiveness of the procedure as compared to the unilateral staged knee replacement are discussed. We recommend that BSTKR be routinely practised for appropriate situations in all institutions where the expertise and facilities are available.

Congenital dislocation of hip in children: a review of patients treated in the Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, 1975-1988.

A retrospective review of patients with congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) seen in the Institute of Orthopaedics, Kuala Lumpur General Hospital from 1975 to 1988 is presented. There was a female predominance of 17 to five. The average follow-up was 43 months and the average age at final assessment was 63 months. The results were assessed clinically and radiographically using Severin criteria. Eighty eight percent of the hips had excellent or good clinical results at final review compared with 40% of the hips which had excellent or good radiological grading (Severin I and II). Initial acetabular angle before treatment and types of treatment appeared to have a correlation with the final result. The incidence of avascular necrosis was 16%.

Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip: case report with a review of the literature.

The first case of idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip from South-East Asia is reported, with a review of the literature. The problems of differential diagnosis are discussed. As the condition is rare, it is likely to be misdiagnosed and may well be over-treated. The rarity of the condition and its natural history terminating in spontaneous fusion make it mandatory that a correct preoperative diagnosis be established in order to avoid needless radical surgery. Some of the significant clinicopathological findings are highlighted.
