A retrospective study of prosthetic capsule technique for the treatment of problem cases of dislocated hips.

This article describes a technique for stabilizing coxofemoral luxations in dogs that uses placement of nonabsorbable sutures from two screws in the dorsal acetabular rim to a screw in the trochanteric fossa of the femur to create a prosthetic capsule. Twenty-one hips with luxations that were either recurrent or greater than 7 days duration were treated. Owners of 17 dogs were contacted from 4 to 40 months after surgery. Eight dogs were reported as having excellent function, three had good function, three had fair function, and three had poor function. No complications directly related to the technique were reported.

[Pain and gait problems in 3 (almost) adolescents with a dislocated hip].

Three young people, a boy aged 15 years and two girls aged 9 years and 13 years, had already suffered groin pain and knee pain for many months. They exhibited an antalgic walk, diminished function of the hip and radiographic signs of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). The complaints disappeared following in situ fixation with one or more screws. Epiphysiolysis of the caput femoris through the growth plate is a disorder of the growing hip. It is the most prevalent hip disease in adolescents. Obese boys are the most commonly affected. The aetiology is not known. The later SCFE is diagnosed and treated, the greater the chance of premature coxarthrosis. Avascular necrosis and chondrolysis are complications that can arise as a result of the operation.

Natural history of the dislocated hip in spastic cerebral palsy.

A review was made of 88 adult institutionalized patients with spastic cerebral palsy and contractural deformity of the hips. 21 were untreated for dislocated hip, and 11 of these suffered from hip pain. The degree of pain was directly related to neurological maturity and to the coexistence of athetosis and spasticity. Decubitus ulcers and perineal care problems were more associated with contractures than with dislocation alone. It is concluded that dislocation and subluxation should be prevented by surgical means, but that surgical treatment of the already dislocated hip should be reserved for the neurologically mature and athetoid patient.

[Eccentric ossification of the femur head epiphysis in hip dislocation; consequences for diagnosis and therapy].

Ossification of the upper femoral epiphysis is dependent on biomechanical laws. In babies with normal hips, the osseous nucleus develops in the centre of the epiphysis. In babies with hip dislocation, however, the altered biomechanical factors result in a different location of the nucleus. Ossification begins in a more lateral and cranial position. After reduction of the dislocated hip, either a second nucleus forms and grows together with the first nucleus, or the eccentric nucleus extends in a caudal direction. Both of these alternatives are physiological processes and should not be confused with necrosis of the epiphysis. The eccentric development of the nucleus is hardly mentioned in the modern literature, but it is of the greatest importance for diagnosis and therapy. Ignorance of the phenomenon of eccentric ossification may lead to a false assessment of the position of the femoral head. This mistaken impression may be heightened by an inappropriate X-ray technique: only by using techniques which take into account that the middle rotation position in children is different from that in adults can mistaken diagnoses and unnecessary operations be avoided. Examples are presented.

A rare case of hip dislocation after internal fixation of a femoral neck fracture without infection.

Hip dislocation after hip pinning has been reported in association with sepsis, but in this paper the authors describe a case of gradual, spontaneous dislocation of the hip over several weeks, without sepsis, in a 36-year-old man who had undergone screw-plate fixation of a displaced basi-cervical fracture. This is only the second reported case of spontaneous dislocation after hip pinning not associated with infection.
