Hip dislocation associated with Down syndrome is relatively rare. Hip dislocation can progress to severe subluxation or habitual dislocation if the initial therapy is improperly performed. However, definitive treatment guidelines for conservative and surgical therapy for hip dislocation in patients with Down syndrome have not been established. This article describes a case of a 12-year-old girl...

We are presenting a case of a 58-year-old-male patient with a congenital hypoplasia of the lower portion of his left psoas muscle. This rare anomaly, which should be differentiated from other pathological conditions (destructive processes, tumors, metastases, inactivate atrophy), was discovered during the MRI examination of his lumbosacral (LS) spine which the patient underwent due to deteriora...

Hypoplasia of the ischiopubic region is described in four patients. An adolescent was referred for spinal dysraphism and scoliosis, another one for bilateral aplasia of the patella and scoliosis, and finally two children were treated for congenital dislocation of the hip. The osseous malformation of the ischiopubic bones was not associated with any other intrapelvic disorders, and remained unch...

UNLABELLED Total hip arthroplasty in hypoplastic femurs is technically difficult and the incidence of complications and aseptic loosening is relatively high. Cemented, uncemented, off-the-shelf, and custom-made stems all have been advocated in these cases. From 1978 to 1997, we performed 86 total hip arthroplasties in 77 patients with a hypoplastic femur using a cemented, off-the-shelf, small, ...

A male infant with lethal short limbed dwarfism is described. His father had spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita and his mother had achondroplasia. It is believed that the infant inherited both of these disorders and that their combined effects resulted in early death owing primarily to severe pulmonary hypoplasia.

  Cartilage hair hypoplasia (CHH), is a rare cause of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia and short stature. Other features included hair abnormality, immunodeficiency, anemia, gastrointestinal disorders (Hirschsprung disease, celiac, …) and increased risk of cancer. The disease is an autosomal recessive disorder and previously has not been reported in Iran. We report a 9-year-old boy diagnosed as car...
