[Our ideas for treatment of dislocated dysplastic hip in early childhood]
Insights
Surgical intervention for congenital hip dislocation requires addressing both femur and acetabulum deformities. Early combined procedures, starting at six months, improve outcomes for hip luxation, unlike isolated corrections.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Background:
- Early diagnosis and treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) do not always prevent luxation.
- Persistent hip luxation necessitates comprehensive surgical management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of combined operative treatment for congenital hip dislocation.
- To determine the optimal timing and components of surgical intervention for CDH.
Main Methods:
- Open reposition combined with correction of upper femur and acetabular deformities.
- Surgical procedures initiated as early as six months of age.
- Use of allogenic deep-frozen cortico-cancellous bone grafts for acetabuloplasty (Dega procedure).
Main Results:
- Combined procedures address both femur and acetabulum, offering a more complete correction.
- Isolated correction of increased antetorsion, CCD-angle, or acetabular angle is not indicated.
- Spontaneous normalization of unoperated hip segments occurs in minimal cases.
- Acetabuloplasty using allogenic bone grafts successfully stabilized bone defects.
Conclusions:
- Comprehensive surgical treatment, including open reposition and correction of all associated deformities, is crucial for managing congenital hip dislocation.
- Early intervention from six months of age is feasible and recommended.
- Isolated correction is insufficient; combined procedures and bone grafting for acetabuloplasty yield successful outcomes.
Abstract:
The early diagnosis and treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip cannot prevent the manifestation of luxation in every case. The following operative treatment should include not only the open reposition, but also all deformities of the upper femur and the acetabulum. This combined procedure is already possible in the infancy starting from the 6th month. The correction of increased antetorsion and CCD-angle alone respectively the increased acetabular angle is not indicated. The spontaneous normalization of the not operated part of the hip can be find only in a minimal part of cases. The stabilization of bone defect in the acetabuloplastic by Dega is performed by allogenic deep frozen cortico-cancellous bone grafts successfully.
