Congenital Hip Dislocation Congenital Hip Dislocation What is a congenital hip dislocation? A congenital hip dislocation is an abnormal formation of the hip joint that is present at birth. Children with congenital hip dislocations may have instability of the hip, since the femoral head (top of the femur, or thighbone) does not fit tightly into the acetabulum (socket). The ligaments of the hip joint may also be loose. Children with congenital hip dislocation may have legs of different lengths and/or decreased movement on one leg. Congenital hip dislocation Normal hip Dislocated hip Femoral head out of Acetabulum acetabulum Femur Diagrams courtesy of the National Library of Medicine What causes congenital hip dislocation? The exact cause of congenital hip dislocation is not known. Some families have been reported to have a hereditary form of congenital hip dislocation (meaning multiple family members are affected). Congenital hip dislocation is more common in girls and babies born in the breech position (feet first); the left hip is also more often involved than the right hip. How is congenital hip dislocation treated? Shortly after birth, babies with congenital hip dislocation may be fitted with a device to help hold the hip in place. Surgery may be necessary if the dislocation is diagnosed at an older age or if earlier treatment options did not work. Left untreated, congenital hip dislocation may lead to problems with walking or activity, as well as pain and arthritis (inflammation of the hip joint) by early adulthood. Your child’s doctor(s) will discuss appropriate treatment options with you.

  • Spondylolisthesis, with Description of a Case
    [Reprinted from the Transactions of the American Orthopedic Association, 1897.] SPONDYLOLISTHESIS, WITH DESCRIPTION OP A CASE. ROBERT W. LOVETT, M.D., BOSTON. The name spondylolisthesis (ottovoo/loc, a vertebra, and bhadrjat c, a gliding) refers to a forward subluxation of the body of one of the lower lumbar vertebrae, with the exception of one recorded case where the upper part of the sacrum was displaced forward. This displacement has ordinarily been described as a dislocation ; in most instances it hardly reaches a greater degree than may be described by the name subluxation. Even this name is incorrect anatomic- ally. This is because the body of the vertebra is chiefly affected, while the laminae and spinous process remain practically in place. The condition has attracted attention chiefly from the obstetrical point of view, on account of the secondary pelvic changes produced, and surgical literature contains next to nothing about it. Fr. Neugebauer, 1 of Warsaw, has so thoroughly investigated and elab- orated the subject that whoever strives to elucidate it from any point of view must do so largely by quotations from his extensive writings. In 1854, when this condition was recognized and named by Killian, 2 there were described only four known anatomical speci- mens. In 1890, when Neugebauer’s treatise was written, there were one hundred and one clinical and anatomical observations. Blake, 3 Gibuey, 4 and Lombard 5 contributed the only recorded American observations. Between the publication of Neugebauer’s classic in 1892, which was written in 1890, and to-day there have been reported, so far as I could find, twenty-four more cases (two in men).

  • The Orthopaedic Management of Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita
    Current Concept Review The Orthopaedic Management of Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita Harold J. P. van Bosse, MD and Dan A. Zlotolow, MD Shriners Hospital for Children, Philadelphia, PA Abstract: Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) describes a baby born with multiple joint contractures that results from fetal akinesia with at least 400 different causes. The most common forms of AMC are amyoplasia (classic ar- throgryposis) and the distal arthrogryposes. Over the past two decades, the orthopaedic treatment of children with AMC has evolved with a better appreciation of the natural history. Most adults with arthrogryposis are ambulatory, but less than half are fully independent in self-care and most are limited by upper extremity dysfunction. Chronic and epi- sodic pain in adulthood—particularly of the foot and back—is frequent, limiting both ambulation and standing. To improve upon the natural history, upper extremity treatments have advanced to improve elbow motion and wrist and thumb positioning. Attempts to improve the ambulatory ability and decrease future pain include correction of hip and knee contractures and emphasizing casting treatments of foot deformities. Pediatric patients with arthrogryposis re- quire a careful evaluation, with both a physical examination and an assessment of needs to direct their treatment. Fur- ther outcomes studies are needed to continue to refine procedures and define the appropriate candidates. Key Concepts: • Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a term that describes a baby born with multiple joint contractures. Amyoplasia is the most common form of AMC, accounting for one-third to one-half of all cases, with the distal arthrogryposes as the second largest AMC type.

BMC Medical Genetics (2016) 17:96 DOI 10.1186/s12881-016-0357-4 CASE REPORT Open Access Short stature, platyspondyly, hip dysplasia, and retinal detachment: an atypical type II collagenopathy caused by a novel mutation in the C-propeptide region of COL2A1: a case report Apiruk Sangsin1,2,3,4, Chalurmpon Srichomthong1,2, Monnat Pongpanich5,6, Kanya Suphapeetiporn1,2,7* and Vorasuk Shotelersuk1,2 Abstract Background: Heterozygous mutations in COL2A1 create a spectrum of clinical entities called type II collagenopathies that range from in utero lethal to relatively mild conditions which become apparent only during adulthood. We aimed to characterize the clinical, radiological, and molecular features of a family with an atypical type II collagenopathy. Case presentation: A family with three affected males in three generations was described. Prominent clinical findings included short stature with platyspondyly, flat midface and Pierre Robin sequence, severe dysplasia of the proximal femora, and severe retinopathy that could lead to blindness. By whole exome sequencing, a novel heterozygous deletion, c.4161_4165del, in COL2A1 was identified. The phenotype is atypical for those described for mutations in the C-propeptide region of COL2A1. Conclusions: We have described an atypical type II collagenopathy caused by a novel out-of-frame deletion in the C-propeptide region of COL2A1. Of all the reported truncating mutations in the C-propeptide region that result in short-stature type II collagenopathies, this mutation is the farthest from the C-terminal of COL2A1. Keywords: COL2A1, C-propeptide region, Exome sequencing, Type II collagenopathies Background mutations in the triple-helical or N-propeptide regions, Patients with COL2A1 mutations are collectively called those in the C-propeptide region generally produce atypical type II collagenopathies.

  • Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) and Direct Subsequent Appropriate Treatment
    Scott Yang, MD, a Natalie Zusman, MD, a Elizabeth Lieberman, MD, a Rachel Y. Goldstein, MDb Developmental Dysplasiaabstract of the Hip Pediatricians are often the first to identify developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and direct subsequent appropriate treatment. The general treatment principle of DDH is to obtain and maintain a concentric reduction of the femoral head in the acetabulum. Achieving this goal can range from less-invasive bracing treatments to more-invasive surgical treatment depending on the age and complexity of the dysplasia. In this review, we summarize the current trends and treatment principles in the diagnosis and treatment of DDH.

Herzenberg, MD, FRCSC , d,e Anil Bhave, PT KEYWORDS Equinus Pediatric External fixation Achilles tendon lengthening Gastrocnemius recession Tendo-Achillis lengthening Different body and limb segments grow at different rates, inducing varying muscle tensions during growth.1 In addition, boys and girls grow at different rates.1 The rate of growth for girls spikes at ages 5, 7, 10, and 13 years.1 The estrogen-induced pubertal growth spurt in girls is one of the earliest manifestations of puberty. Growth of the legs and feet accelerates first, so that many girls have longer legs in proportion to their torso during the first year of puberty. The overall rate of growth tends to reach a peak velocity (as much as 7.5 to 10 cm) midway between thelarche and menarche and declines by the time menarche occurs.1 In the 2 years after menarche, most girls grow approximately 5 cm before growth ceases at maximal adult height.1 The rate of growth for boys spikes at ages 6, 11, and 14 years.1 Compared with girls’ early growth spurt, growth accelerates more slowly in boys and lasts longer, resulting in taller adult stature among men than women (on average, approximately 10 cm).1 The difference is attributed to the much greater potency of estradiol compared with testosterone in Two authors (BML and JEH) host an international teaching conference supported by Smith & Nephew.
