Insights

Idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is linked to hip dysplasia. This study found 1 in 17 infants with CTEV had hip dysplasia, supporting selective ultrasound screening.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • The relationship between idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains unclear.
  • Early detection of DDH is crucial for effective treatment and preventing long-term complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between CTEV and DDH.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of selective ultrasound screening for hip dysplasia in infants diagnosed with CTEV.

Main Methods:

  • An observational cohort study was conducted over 6.5 years.
  • Selective ultrasound screening of hips was performed in infants diagnosed with CTEV.
  • Data on hip dysplasia incidence in the CTEV cohort were collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Out of 119 infants with CTEV, nine cases (seven individuals) were diagnosed with hip dysplasia.
  • This indicates an incidence rate of approximately 1 in 17 infants with CTEV presenting with underlying hip dysplasia.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest a significant association between CTEV and hip dysplasia.
  • Selective ultrasound screening of hips in infants with CTEV is supported by this study's results.
  • This approach may aid in the early identification and management of DDH in at-risk infants.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...
Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Diabetic Foot Ulcer01:31

Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Definition A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic, non-healing wound that develops in individuals with diabetes. It typically occurs on pressure-bearing areas such as the heel, metatarsal heads, or hallux, and carries a high risk of infection and amputation.Pathophysiology • The development of DFUs can be explained by four interconnected mechanisms: neuropathy, ischemia, infection, and impaired wound healing. • Neuropathy is the most common factor. Sensory neuropathy reduces pain perception,...
