Surgical Hip Dislocation UW HEALTH SPORTS REHABILITATION Rehabilitation Guidelines for Surgical Hip Dislocation The hip joint is composed of the femur (the thigh bone) and the Lunate surface of acetabulum acetabulum (the socket which is Articular cartilage from the three pelvic bones).

Walking transmits 1.3 to 5.8 times body weight through the Figure 1 Hip joint (opened) lateral view joint, and running and jumping can generate forces across the joint equal to 6 to 8 times body weight. Both the head of the femur and the bony acetabulum are covered with articular cartilage to aide in absorbing weightbearing forces through the joint (the gray material in Figure 1). The acetabular labrum is a circular, fibrocartilaginous structure that surrounds the socket. It functions to seal the joint enhance stability, and provide proprioceptive feedback (a sense of joint position) to the brain and central nervous system. The labrum acts as a suction seal or gasket for the hip joint. This helps Figure 2: Frog leg radiograph: The thin arrow on your left indicates the area of “flattening” of the to maintain the hydrostatic pressure right femoral head and lack of the normal femoral head-neck offset.

  • 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.

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.

Kenechukwu Tobechukwu Onwuama, Sulaiman Olawoye Salami, Esther Solomon Kigir, Alhaji Zubair Jaji Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria Abbreviated title: Hind limb bones of the Sitatunga Corresponding address: Kenechukwu Tobechukwu Onwuama. Telephone number: 08036425961. E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Sitatunga, Tragelaphus spekii, is a swamp dwelling antelope resident in West Africa. This study was carried out to document unique morphological and numerical information on the hind limb bones of this ruminant. Two (2) adults of both sexes were obtained as carcass at different times after post-mortem examination and prepared to extract the bones via cold water maceration for use in the study. The presence of a sharp pointed ilio-pubic eminence at the junction between the cranial border of the ilium and pubis; less prominent ischial tuber, inconspicuous ischiatic arch and a large oval obturator foramen were unique features of the Ossa coxarum that distinguished it from that of small ruminants. The Femur’s medial condyle was obliquely orientated, the fibula was absent while the long Tibia was typical of ruminant presentation. It was observed that the morphological features of the tarsals and Pes were also typical. However, the last Phalanges presented characteristic long triangular shaped bones with sharp pointed ends. The total number of bones making up the forelimb was accounted to be 45. In conclusion, this study has provided a baseline data for further biological, archeological and comparative anatomical studies.

  • 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.
