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...

A retrospective review of 34 patients with congenital dislocation of the radial head was carried out. In 22 patients, the radial head dislocation was the only abnormality. The range of motion of the elbow and forearm was considerably limited in some patients and did cause functional impairment, especially lack of supination. Increased ulnar length in relation to the radius and a hypoplastic cap...

The prevalence and severity of the nodes in their axillary, superomedial, and protrusion groups combined (representing primary OA) is indeed higher than in th...
