BACKGROUND Treatment of the Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis remains a cause of concern due to the fact that the true knowledge of the etiopathogeny is unknown, as well as one of its major complications: chondrolysis. The conservative treatment remains controversial; it has been overlooked in the studies and subjected to intense criticism. The purpose of this study is to investigate the result...

Abstract Aim Accurate reduction of the hip joint and SPICA application for treatment developmental dysplasia (DDH) is crucial long term success – those undergoing surgical intervention, or closed only. In Alder Hey Children’s Hospital we compared two methods confirming patients DDH. Those receiving either post-operative departmental computed tomography (CT) an intra-operative CT. Specific outco...

BACKGROUND Open acetabular fractures in children are rare, but potentially devastating injuries. Secondary to the low incidence, there is an apparent lack of reports on appropriate management strategies for open pediatric acetabular fractures in the literature. METHODS Description of a case study. RESULTS A 3 years and ten months-old girl was ejected as a passenger from an all terrain vehic...

Because there is no consensus with regard to the efficiency of the Frejka pillow in the treatment of hip joint dysplasia in newborns, the aim of the present study was to evaluate our results with this device. During the 3-year period 1988 to 1990, the Frejka pillow was used in 108 newborns with clinically unstable hips verified by ultrasonography. There were three treatment failures (2.8%), def...

PURPOSE Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a term used to cover a broad spectrum of anomalies ranging from mild dysplasia to high-riding dislocations. We report the management of DDH in children using the Dega osteotomy and their long-term follow-up. METHODS Fifty-eight hips from 48 children younger than 8 years treated using the Dega osteotomy between January 1988 and October 2000 w...

PURPOSE Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) affects approximately 1 % of live births. Dislocated hips require reduction and stabilisation in a spica cast, and reduction efficacy is assessed radiologically. Numerous measurements are used to ascertain the adequacy of reduction but can be inconsistent in evaluating femoral head position. This study describes the morphology of the developing a...

Silky bent grass (Apera spica-venti (L.) P. Beauv.) is a common weed of cereal crops widely spread in Northern and Easthern Europe (Germany, Czech Republic,...), Northern Asia, Siberia and Canada. Up to now, no resistant case has been detected in Belgium but some chemical weeding failures have been observed in Wallonia fields. During summer 2011, 37 seed samples of Apera spica-venti were collec...

The new radio telescopes that are currently coming on line such as LOFAR and e-VLA and in the somewhat more distant future SKA, will revolutionize radio astronomy. Among many other things, they will enable observations of unprecedented detail of events where energetic particles and magnetic fields play a dominant role. This is the case for, for example, radio jets, supernovae and large scale sh...
