Twelve cases (13 hips) of congenital dislocation of hip (CDH)in a group above the age of six were treated by Chiari pelvic osteotomy from Jan. 1991 to Dec. 1992. The results following operative treatment rated as good in 85 percents according to the clinical and radiologic examinations. The indications, and the results with the operation as the functional reconstuction of the hip concerned were discussed.
Objective To find a more perfect method of treating developmental dislocation of the hip(DDH). Methods From March 1994 toDecember 2002, on the basis of the ordinary operative method, Pemberton method was improved for 48 cases of DDH 49 articulatio coxae which had superficial and small acetabula but bigheads of femur. Osteotomy points were moved higher to enlarge area of bone flapturned over. A piece of full thickness ilium including periosteum was removed as a free bony graft. Capsula articularis growing thicker was made into 2 layers, of which the inner layer was used to tighten articularis and the outer layerwas used to stabilize bone flap. Results All patients were followed up for 18 months to 5 years, the function of articulatio coxae and degree of bony union, inclusion area to head of femur and ischemic necrosis of femoral head were observed through X-ray. According to Zhou Yongde’s criteria for the curative effect of congenital dislocation of the hip, there were 18 cases of 26-30 scores(3 hips), 27 cases of 21-25 scores, 2 cases of 1620 scores(3 hips), and 1 case under 15 scores, and the total superior ratewas 93.8%. Conclusion Improved Pemberton method can enlarge inclusion area tohead of femur, avoid decreasing acetabular volume, and stabilize articulatio well, which made operative indication bigger than original Pemberton method.
【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the operative technique and the short-term cl inical effect of cementless total hiparthroplasty (THA) for developmental dislocation of the hip in adults. Methods From December 1997 to October 2006, 61patients (78 hips) with developmental dislocation of the hip were treated with the cementless THA. There were 8 males and 53 females with the average age of 31.4 years (ranging from 17 years to 56 years). According to the classification of Hartofilakidis, 15 cases were type I (18 hips), 23 type II (31 hips), and 23 type III (29 hips). All the patients were exposed through the posterolateral approach. The threaded cup with coating was put at or near the level of the true acetabulum in all cases. Full coating stems were used in femoral sides, and shortening osteotomy below trochanter of femur was performed in 12 cases. Results Sixty patients (76 hips) were followed up with the mean duration of 49 months (range 12 to 118 months). All the hips of osteotomy and bone ingrowth acquired union 3 to 14 months after the operation. No patient had radiographic evidence of aseptic loosening of prosthesis. The average leg length of the hips with femoral shortening osteotomy was lengthened 2.0 to 4.5 cm. All patients had pain rel ief and no obvious motion l imitation, l imp gait and pelvic obl iquity. The Harris scores were 40.28 ± 9.84 preoperatively and 90.92 ± 2.80 postoperatively (P lt; 0.001). One patient with postoperative femoral nerve palsy completely recovered 4 months after the operation. Conclusion Cementless THA for developmental dislocation of the hip in adults produces significantly better results, although it presents great technical difficulties.
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of the Salter innominate osteotomy on the acetabular morphology and direction and the relationship between them in children with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) by three-dimensional CT. MethodsBetween January 2013 and January 2015, 51 patients with unilateral DDH were treated. All patients were females with an average age of 2 years and 5 months (range, one year and 6 months to 5 years). All the patients underwent open reduction of the hip, Salter innominate osteotomy, proximal femoral osteotomy, and hip cast immobilization for treatment. The data of three-dimensional CT before surgery and at 1 week after surgery were measured and collected as follows:the anterior acetabular index (AAI), posterior acetabular index (PAI), axial acetabular index (AxAI), acetabular anteversion angle (AAA) of the acetabulum, and the distances of the forward, outward, and lateral rotation of the distal osteotomy fragments. The differences of AAI, PAI, AxAI, AAA between before and after surgeries were compared and the difference values of the data with significant difference results were calculated. The relationship between the difference values and the distances of three different rotation directions before and after surgeries were tested by Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsThere were significant differences in the AAI, PAI, and AAA between before and after surgery (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in the AxAI between before and after surgery (t=0.878, P=0.384). The difference values of AAI, PAI, and AAA were (4.518±4.601), (4.219±6.660), and (3.919±4.389)° respectively. The distances of the outward, lateral, and forward rotation of the distal osteotomy fragments after surgery were (0.420±0.339), (2.440±0.230), and (0.421±0.311) cm. There was a significant correlation between the three different rotation directions and AAI difference (P<0.05), especialy the outward rotation (r=0.981). There was a correlation between the outward, forward rotation and PAI, AAI differences (P<0.05), and no significant correlation between the lateral rotation and PAI, AAA was found (P>0.05). There was a significant correlation between the forward rotation and AAA difference (r=0.841). ConclusionSalter innominate osteotomy can increase the curvature of the anterior wall of the acetabulum in DDH, but reduce the curvature of the rear wall. At the same time, it can also change the direction of the acetabulum, significantly decrease the acetabular anteversion, but it can not change the depth of the acetabulum. The main factors of the curvature change after Salter innominate osteotomy of DDH is attributable to outward rotation, followed by forward rotation, and the main factor of the acetabular direction change is attributable to forward rotation.
Objective To investigate the morphological anatomical abnormal ities of high congenital dislocation of hip in adults and provide anatomical basis for the total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods From May 1997 to July 2008, 49 patients (57 hi ps) with high congenital dislocation of hip (Hartofilakidis type III) were treated. There were 6 males and 43 females with an average age of 29.4 years old (18-56 years old). The locations were left in 24 hi ps and right in 33 hi ps. The morphological parameters (including femoral length, isthmus, height of femoral head center, neck-shaft angle, medialhead offset, anteversion angle, canal flare index, anteroposterior diameter of the true acetabulum, posterior thickness of the true acetabulum, depth of the true acetabulum) of suffering hips (dislocation group, n=57) were measured by preoperative X-ray, CT and intraoperative cl inical observation and were compared with those of contralateral hips (control group, n=41). The intraoperative situations of hip were observed. Results The height of dislocation was (45.41 ± 2.15) mm. The length difference of both lower extremities was (40.41 ± 2.02) mm. In dislocation group, isthmus was shortened; height of femoral head center, neck-shaft angle and medial head offset were decreased; and anteversion angle was increased. CT showed that the canal flare index was larger than 4.7, femoral shape was funnel-shaped according to Noble classification. Anteroposterior diameter of the true acetabulum became smaller, posterior thickness of the true acetabulum became thicker, and depth of the true acetabulum was shallower. There were statistically significant differences in the morphological parameters of femur and acetabulum between two groups (P lt; 0.05). The intraoperative measurements showed that the anteroposterior diameter of acetabulum was (32.98 ± 1.02) mm and the depth of acetabulum was (14.21 ± 0.56) mm. There was no statistically significant difference between intraoperative measurements and preoperative measurements (P gt; 0.05). The acetabulum was full of fat and fibrous tissues. Running of the sciatic nerve in 40 cases were changed and it ran upward and laterally. Conclusion When high congenital dislocation of the hip in adults is treated with THA, anatomical variation must be fully taken into account. The acetabulum is expanded toward posterosuperior, excessive reamed should be avoided to prevent femoral fractures, and appropriate or tailor-made prosthesis was selected.
Objective To summarize the characteristics and clinical significance of irreducible Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fracture-dislocations. Methods The clinical data of 4 patients with irreducible Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fracture-dislocations between January 2010 and December 2019 were collected. There were 2 males and 2 females and the age ranged from 24 to 41 years, with an average age of 33.5 years. The cause of injury included traffic accident in 3 cases and falling in 1 case. Pipkin classification was 2 cases of type Ⅰ and 2 cases of type Ⅱ. The time from injury to operation was 1-2 days. The clinical features were that the hip joint of the affected limb was in a locked position, and the passive range of motion was poor. The affected limb was slightly flexed at the hip joint and shortened, in a state of neutral position or slight adduction and internal rotation. The imaging data suggested that the femoral head dislocated backward and upward, and the hard cortex of the posterior edge of the acetabulum was embedded in the cancellous bone of the femoral head, and the two were compressed and incarcerated. Patients of cases 1-3 underwent closed reduction of hip dislocation 1-2 times at 3, 1, and 3 hours after injury respectively, and femoral neck fracture occurred. The injury types changed to Pipkin type Ⅲ, and open reduction and internal fixation were performed. Patient of case 4 did not undergo closed reduction, but underwent open reduction and internal fixation directly. Results Patients of cases 1-3 were followed up 14, 17, and 12 months, respectively. They developed osteonecrosis of the femoral head at 9, 5, and 10 months after operation respectively, and all underwent total hip arthroplasty. Patient of case 4 was followed up 24 months and had no hip pain and limited mobility; the imaging data indicated that the internal fixator position was good and the fracture healed; no collapse or deformation of the femoral head was seen, and no osteonecrosis of the femoral head occurred. Conclusion Clinicians need to improve their understanding of the unique clinical features and imaging findings of irreducible Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fracture-dislocations. It is suggested that open reduction and simultaneous fixation of femoral head fracture should be directly used to reduce the incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment for irreducible hip posterior dislocation caused by acetabular labrum bony Bankart lesions.MethodsBetween February 2008 and August 2016, 11 patients with irreducible hip posterior dislocation caused by acetabular labrum bony Bankart lesions, were treated with arthroscopic reduction and fixation of bony Bankart lesions. There were 7 males and 4 females, with an average age of 23.7 years (mean, 15-36 years). The injury was caused by traffic accident in 8 cases and falling from height in 3 cases. The interval between hip dislocation and the first manual reduction was 2-8 hours (mean, 5.3 hours) and between the first manual reduction and arthroscopic surgery was 6-31 days (mean, 12.8 days). The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) was 5.2±0.9, the modified Harris score was 32±8, and the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was 30±5. ResultsThe operative time was 90-150 minutes (mean, 120.9 minutes), with no hip arthroscopic surgery related complications. All incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 26-68 months (mean, 42.7 months). Postoperative X-ray films showed that all hip joints were reduction; CT showed that the reduction of posterior acetabular wall fracture was satisfactory. And all fractures healed at last follow-up with no avascular necrosis of the femoral head or osteoarthritis. At last follow-up, the VAS score was 0.5±0.5, the modified Harris score was 94±5, and the WOMAC score was 95±4. There were significant differences in those indexes between pre- and post-operation (P<0.05). ConclusionThe irreducible hip posterior dislocation caused by acetabular labrum bony Bankart lesions is rare. Arthroscopic therapy has the advantages of less trauma, quick recovery, and less complications.
ObjectiveTo discuss the value of surgical hip dislocation approach in the treatment of femoral head fracture. MethodsA retrospectively analysis was made on the clinical data of 15 patients with femoral head fractures treated through surgical hip dislocation approach between January 2010 and February 2013. There were 11 men and 4 women with an average age of 30.8 years (range, 15-63 years). The causes included traffic accident injury in 9 cases, falling injury from height in 5 cases, and sports injury in 1 case. According to Pipkin typing, 2 cases were rated as type Ⅰ, 7 cases as type Ⅱ, 1 case as type Ⅲ, and 5 cases as type Ⅳ. The interval of injury and operation was 2-10 days (mean, 4.1 days). Reduction was performed in 10 patients within 6 hours after injury, and then bone traction was given for 4-6 weeks except 5 patients who received reduction in the other hospital. ResultsPrimary healing of incision was obtained in all patients after surgery without complications of dislocation and lower limbs deep venous thrombosis. The mean follow-up time was 29.9 months (range, 25-36 months). During follow-up, there was no infection, breakage of internal fixation, or nonunion of femoral greater trochanter fracture. In 3 patients having necrosis of the femoral head, 2 had no obvious symptoms[staging as Ⅱa and Ⅱb respectively according to Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging system], and 1 (stage Ⅲb) had nonunion of the femoral neck fracture, who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA). In 4 patients having myositis ossificans (2 cases of grade Ⅰ, 1 case of grade Ⅱ, and 1 case of grade Ⅲ based on Brooker grading), no treatment was given in 3 cases and the focus was removed during THA in 1 case. According to the Thompson-Epstein scale at last follow-up, the results were excellent in 9 cases, good in 3 cases, fair in 1 case, and poor in 2 cases, and the excellent and good rate was 80%. ConclusionSurgical hip dislocation approach can not only protect the residual vessels of the femoral head but also fully expose the acetabulum and femoral head, which is the ideal approach for the treatment of femoral head fractures.
Acetabuloplasty was used to treat 62 cases (76 hips) of congenital dislocation of hip in older children, with a period of follow-up for 1 to 7 years. The good results from operation rated 81.7 percent. It was considered that this type of operation could fulfil the physiological requirements, as the femoral head replaced into the acetabulum would accomplish the following benefits from establishing a stable joint, reducing the lumbar lordosis and minimizing development of hip and low back pain. The technique ...
