Paralytic hip instability in poliomyelitis.

J H Lau, J C Parker, L C Hsu

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British Volume
    |August 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgical hip reconstruction in polio survivors yielded good results in 46% of cases. Key factors for success include muscle balance and optimal bone geometry, with specific surgical techniques improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Poliomyelitis can lead to hip subluxation or dislocation, significantly impacting patient mobility.
    • Surgical intervention is often necessary to address these complex orthopedic deformities.
    • Understanding the critical factors influencing surgical success is vital for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatments for hip subluxation/dislocation in patients with a history of poliomyelitis.
    • To identify key factors contributing to successful surgical management of polio-related hip instability.
    • To assess the efficacy of specific surgical techniques, including iliopsoas transfer and femoral/pelvic osteotomies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of surgical treatment results for hip subluxation or dislocation in polio patients.
    • Assessment of outcomes based on clinical and radiographic parameters.
    • Evaluation of the role of muscle balance, femoral parameters (neck-shaft angle, anteversion), and acetabular geometry.

    Main Results:

    • Good surgical outcomes were achieved in 46% of patients, with satisfactory results in an additional 24%.
    • Muscle balance, femoral neck-shaft angle, femoral anteversion, and acetabular geometry were identified as critical success factors.
    • Iliopsoas transfer improved hip abductor power (average 1 MRC grade); varus derotation femoral osteotomy corrected femoral angles; pelvic osteotomy results were variable.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical treatment can yield favorable outcomes for hip instability in poliomyelitis survivors.
    • Achieving muscle balance and optimizing hip joint geometry through procedures like femoral osteotomy are crucial.
    • Attention to posterior acetabular defects is important for successful surgical correction.
