Introduction Abnormalities of the bony pelvis in exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC) and their possible relation to hip disease are well described. However, there is a lack of information about long-term orthopedic consequences and hip function in patients with EEC. Therefore, we investigated clinical and radiological results in an EEC patient cohort after long-term follow-up. Patients and Metho...

INTRODUCTION Management of developmental dysplasia of hip in adult is challenging problem. Management protocols are not well defined in terms of operative technique. Patient may present very late. Usually they consult orthopaedic surgeons when osteoarthritic changes set in, leading to pain. Operative management is difficult because of difficult exposure, altered anatomy of soft tissue structure...

The aims of this study were to determine factors that cause a leg-length discrepancy (LLD) to the extent that correction is indicated after treatment in developmental dysplasia of the hip and determine whether the LLD may be treated with a percutaneous epiphysiodesis. Twelve children were included in this study. The factors which caused LLD were avascular necrosis, femoral shortening and varus ...

BACKGROUND: Hip Dysplasia is a frequent orthopedic disease that is characterized by early joint sublux- ation. The DARthroplasty technique is a two-part process that involves applying bone graft to increase the femoral head coverage with a low morbidity rate and the long term is known results. OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to investigate the radiograph...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a wide spectrum of clinical severity, from mild developmental abnormalities to frank dislocation. Clinical hip instability occurs in 1% to 2% of full-term infants, and up to 15% have hip instability or hip immaturity detectable by imaging studies. Hip dysplasia is the most common cause of hip arthritis in women younger than 40 years and accou...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip is one of the most common congenital musculoskeletal disorders of childhood, affecting 1-3% of newborns. An early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential to avoid complex treatments and achieve improved results. Since 1992, we have undertaken a screening programme for clinical instability and at risk patients. During this time, there have been only two cas...
