Observation of the effects of three methods for reducing perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation

BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a developmental abnormality of the hip joint that results from hypoplasia during birth and continues to deteriorate after birth.AIM To observe the effects of magnesium sulfate wet compress,iodophor wet compress,and ice compress on reducing postoperative perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation to provide effective nursing interventions in the clinic.METHODS A total of 120 children with hip dislocation after surgery in a third-class A hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were randomly divided into four groups,the magnesium sulfate wet compress group,iodophor wet compress group,ice compress group and the control group.Data such as height,weight,age,duration of surgery,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative body temperature,swelling duration,pain score,and incidence of blisters were collected and analyzed.RESULTS There were no significant differences in height,weight,age,duration of surgery,intraoperative blood loss,and postoperative body temperature among the four groups of children.Statistical differences were observed between the intervention groups and the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION All three methods significantly reduced postoperative perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation,reduced the duration of postoperative perineal swelling,reduced pain,and improved the quality of care.

Safety and efficacy of surgical hip dislocation in managing femoral head fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Femoral head fractures(FHFs)are considered relatively uncommon injuries;however,open reduction and internal fixation is preferred for most displaced fractures.Several surgical approaches had been utilized with controversial results;surgical hip dislocation(SHD)is among these approaches,with the reputation of being demanding and leading to higher complication rates.AIM To determine the efficacy and safety of SHD in managing FHFs by reviewing the results reported in the literature.METHODS Major databases including PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched to identify studies reporting on outcomes of SHD utilized as an approach in treating FHFs.We extracted basic studies data,surgery-related data,functional outcomes,radiological outcomes,and postoperative complications.We calculated the mean differences for continuous data with 95%confidence intervals for each outcome and the odds ratio with 95%confidence intervals for binary outcomes.P<0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS Our search retrieved nine studies meeting our inclusion criteria,with a total of 129 FHFs.The results of our analysis revealed that the average operation time was 123.74 min,while the average blood loss was 491.89 mL.After an average followup of 38.4 mo,a satisfactory clinical outcome was achieved in 85%of patients,ranged from 30%to 86%,with avascular necrosis,heterotopic ossification,and osteoarthritis being the most common complications occurring at an incidence of 12%,25%,and 16%,respectively.Trochanteric flip osteotomy nonunion and trochanteric bursitis as a unique complication of SHD occurred at an incidence of 3.4%and 3.8%,respectively.CONCLUSION The integration of SHD approach for dealing with FHFs offered acceptable functional and radiological outcomes with a wide range of safety in regards to the hip joint vascularity and the development of avascular necrosis,the formation of heterotopic ossification,and the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis;however,it still carries its unique risk of trochanteric flip osteotomy nonunion and persistent lateral thigh pain.

Corrections in alpha angle following two different operative approaches for CAM-type femoral acetabular impingement-Ganz surgical hip dislocation vs anterior mini-open

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement(FAI)is a predisposing factor for secondary osteoarthritis of the hip joint.The two extensively described impingement mechanisms of FAI are CAM and Pincer-type.Initially managed conservatively,operative intervention should be offered to the persistently symptomatic patient.The measurement of the alpha angle is considered a standard method of assessing the severity of pathology in Cam-type FAI on pre-operative plain radiographs.The radiological correction of the alpha angle has not been previously compared between different surgical approaches.We hypothesize that there is no difference in alpha angle correction between Ganz surgical hip dislocation and the anterior mini-open approach.AIM To compare the magnitude of alpha angle correction achieved by using the Ganz surgical hip dislocation and the anterior mini-open approach.METHODS This is a retrospective study assessing seventy-nine patients identified in a 5-year period.These patients had preoperative radiographic evidence of FAI and underwent surgery by a single surgeon at our institution,a tertiary care center.Patients with missing radiographic documentation,radiographs with insufficient quality which then precluded accurate measurement of the angleα,a diagnosed congenital condition,isolated type II pathology(Pincer),and history of prior surgery were excluded from the study.Either the Ganz surgical hip dislocation or the anterior mini open approach was used.Postoperative radiographic evaluation of the alpha angle between the two surgical methods was done and corrected for age and gender using two-sample t-tests and Chi-square analyses.RESULTS A total of 79 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Forty-seven males(mean age of 35.3,range 16-53)and 32 females(mean age 36.7,range 16-60)were enrolled.Forty-seven patients underwent the anterior mini-open approach,and 32 underwent the Ganz surgical hip dislocation.There were no significant differences in age between the two surgical groups or in pre-and post-operative alpha angles based on patient gender.The mean pre-operative alpha angle for the Ganz surgical hip dislocation group was 88.0 degrees(SD 12.3)and 99.4 degrees(SD 7.2)for the anterior mini-open group.Mean post-operative angles were 49.9 degrees(SD 4.3)for the Ganz surgical hip dislocation and 43.8(SD 4.3)degrees for the anterior mini-open group.There was a statistically significant difference in patient’s pre-operative and post-operative angles(P=0.000)with both surgical approaches.CONCLUSION Statistically significant decreases in alpha angle were noted for both surgical techniques,with larger decreases seen in the anterior mini-open group.

Combined bilateral asymmetric hip dislocation and anterior shoulder dislocation

BACKGROUND:Traumatic bilateral hip dislocation is a rare condition.Anterior shoulder dislocation combined with this condition is even a rare occurrence.A 57-year-old man had bilateral asymmetric hip dislocation with a posterior wall fracture of the left acetabulum associated with right shoulder anterior dislocation caused by falling down from a cherry tree.Traumatic hip dislocation and anterior shoulder dislocation represent a true orthopedic emergency.METHODS:Closed reduction was performed immediately for three of the dislocated joints.Posterior wall fracture of the left acetabulum was treated with open reduction and internal fixation by screws.Because of the severity of associated complications like aseptic necrosis or posttraumatic osteoarthritis,efforts were made to ensure prompt diagnosis,therapy and prognosis.RESULTS:The patient was successfully treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the left acetabulum,and discharged from the hospital.CONCLUSION:Traumatic asymmetric hip dislocation and anterior shoulder dislocation are an orthopedic emergency and early diagnosis with immediate reduction of the dislocation is the key determinants of excellent result of treatment.

Closed reduction of hip dislocation associated with ipsilateral lower extremity fractures:A case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND Traumatic hip dislocation usually occurs following high-velocity trauma.It is imperative that the dislocation be reduced in a timely manner,especially in a closed manner,as an orthopedic emergency.However,closed reduction can hardly be achieved in patients who also have ipsilateral lower extremity fractures.Herein,we focus on hip dislocation associated with ipsilateral lower extremity fractures,excluding intracapsular fractures(femoral head and neck fractures),present an early closed hip joint reduction method for this injury pattern,and review the literature to discuss the appropriate closed reduction technique for this rare injury pattern.CASE SUMMARY We report a case of a 37-year-old male who sustained a left acetabular posterior wall fracture,an ipsilateral comminuted subtrochanteric fracture and dislocation of the hip.The hip dislocation was reduced urgently in a closed manner using the joy-stick technique with a T-shaped Schanz screw.The fractures were reduced and fixed as a 2nd-stage surgery procedure.At the 17-month postoperative follow-up,the patient had full range of motion of the affected hip.CONCLUSION Closed reduction of a hip dislocation associated with ipsilateral lower extremity fractures is rarely achieved by regular maneuvers.Attempts at closed reduction,by means of indirectly controlling the proximal fracture fragment or reconstructing the femoral leverage rapidly with the aid of various external reduction apparatuses,were shown to be effective in some scenarios.Mandatory open reduction is indicated in cases of failed closed reduction,particularly in irreducible dislocations.

Innate Immunity in the Development of Connective Tissue Dysplasia: Pilot Study in Children with Congenital Hip Dislocation

Introduction: Observing and treatment of hip dysplasia in children have always been in the sphere of interest of modern molecular medicine. The role of molecular factors in the formation of connective tissue dysplasia in children is considered crucial for such multisystem disorders, and connective tissue dysplasia progressing involves immune system parameters and biochemical markers. The aim of this work was to establish the relationship between immune status indicators and biochemical markers of connective tissue using bioinformatics and modeling methods. Materials and Methods: 27 patients with congenital hip dislocation, admitted to the University Clinic of Privolzhsky Research Medical University, Department of children orthopedics for surgical treatment, were examined. Determination of 10 blood parameters was conducted by modern biochemical and immunological methods. Statistica 12.0 software from StatSoft was used for statistical data processing. Methods of nonparametric statistics were used since the samples in the control group partially follow the normal distribution. Correlation methods and regression modeling methods were used to evaluate the relationship of indicators. Results and Conclusion: In our investigation we have shown the presence of statistical and mathematical interactions between the parameters of innate immunity and indicators of connective tissue metabolism. The leading role of the immune system in the development of pathologies associated with connective tissue dysplasia is assumed. In further investigations it is necessary to clarify the role hypoxia in HIF-1 stimulated control of skeletal dysplasia, collagen modification, connective tissue dysplasia development.

Irreducible Posterior Hip Dislocation with Associated Isolated Comminuted Greater Trochanter Avulsion Fracture Treated with Universal Locking Trochanteric Stabilization Plate: A Rare Combination of Hip Injury

Posterior hip dislocation with greater trochanter fracture is an uncommon injury pattern in the acute trauma patient. Frequently associated injury includes a combination of hip dislocation with posterior wall of acetabulum, head of femur fracture, intertrochanteric fracture and even the most severe type of combined acetabular fracture. We report a 42-year-old man post traumatic bilateral hip injuries with irreducible posterior hip dislocation and associated isolated greater trochanteric fracture successfully managed with open reduction and fixation of greater trochanter with universal locking trochanteric stabilization plate.

Old unreduced obturator dislocation of the hip:A case report

Obturator dislocation is a rare type of hip dislocation,accounting for about 2%-5%of all hip dislocations.The occurrence of old unreduced obturator dislocation is even more infrequent,with only 17 cases reported in nine studies,most of which were from the 1950s to 1980s in developing countries.CASE SUMMARY A 38-year-old woman from Hunan Province,China presented with stiffness of the left hip in abduction,flexion,and external rotation after falling from a 2-meter-tall tree onto her left knee 1.5 mo prior.Pelvic radiograph and computed tomography revealed obturator dislocation of the left hip accompanied by impaction fracture at the superolateral aspect of the left femoral head without associated acetabulum fracture.Open reduction was performed,resulting in restoration of the concentric alignment of the left hip.After surgery,6-wk skin traction was applied and the patient was kept in bed for an additional 2 wk.At 3 mo after surgery,the patient reported experiencing some pain,which did not affect the function of the affected limb,and some movement restriction but no abduction deformity or claudication was present.An X-ray showed that the left hip was homocentric,and there was no sign of posttraumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis.CONCLUSION Open reduction may be an effective treatment strategy for the rare condition of old unreduced obturator dislocation with short neglect time.

Results of hip resurfacing for developmental dysplasia of the hip of Crowe type Ⅰ and Ⅱ

Background Recently, the new generation of metal-on-metal total hip resurfacing arthroplasty is well known for preserving the proximal femoral bone stock, minimizing the risk of postoperative dislocation using large femoral heads, and expecting low wear of metal-on-metal articulation for longer prosthesis survival. It also has the advantage in biomechanical loading in the proximal femur. The osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip （DDH） has been the most common reason for total hip arthroplasty. Most of the patients are young and active, who require improved range of motion of the hip besides relief of the pain, even expect to resume the ability to run and jump after the joint arthroplasty, thus to be allowed an active lifestyle. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the early outcome of resurfacing arthroplasty for the mild DDH cases （Crowe type Ⅰ and Ⅱ）. Methods Between September 2005 and May 2007, twenty-one consecutive patients （twenty-six hips） with the diagnosis of osteoarthritis secondary to DDH underwent metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty. The average age at the time of surgery was 46.5 years （range, 37-59 years）. Six patients （28.6%） were male and fifteen （71.4%） were female. Clinical and radiographic results were observed. The follow-up was performed at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9 months and then yearly. Results All patients were followed for a mean of 18 months （9-29 months）. During the follow-up period no complications, such as dislocation of hip joints, infection or femoral neck fracture occurred. The clinical outcomes, as rated with the Harris hip score, improved significantly compared with the preoperative ratings. The mean postoperative Harris hip score was 90.7, compared to 35.5 preoperatively. The radiographic analysis showed that all prostheses were fixed with no radiolucencies. All of the patients who had equal limb lengths preoperatively had equal lengths postoperatively. Of the nine patients with preoperative limb-length discrepancy of 0.8 to 1.2 cm, all regained equal limb length postoperatively. In addition the pain was nearly completely relieved, the range of motion was remarkably improved and no restriction was needed after operation regarding early exercise. Conclusions The new generation of metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty may be a reasonable option for DDH of the Crowe types Ⅰ and Ⅱ.

Increasing thickness and fibrosis of the cartilage in acetabular dysplasia： a rabbit model research

Background The order and mechanism of pathological changes in acetabular dysplasia are still unclear. This study investigated cartilage changes in rabbit acetabular dysplasia models at different ages.Methods Twenty-seven 1-month-old New Zealand rabbits underwent cast immobilization of the left hind limb in knee extension. Serial acetabular dysplasia models were established by assessment of the acetabular index and Sharp＇s angle on radiographs. The thickness of the acetabular cartilage was measured under a microscope, and fibrosis was observed. Ultrastructural changes were investigated with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The messenger RNA expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅱ, β1 integrin, and caspase-9 were measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results In an immature group of rabbits, the acetabular index of the treated hip increased with animal growth. The cartilage on the brim of the left acetabulum was significantly thicker than that on the right side. The collagen fibrils on the surface of the cartilage became gross, and the chondrocytes in the enlargement layer underwent necrosis. In a mature group of rabbits, the left Sharp＇s angle increased in the rabbits with 6-week casting. The cartilage on the brim of the left acetabulum underwent fibrosis. The chondrocytes were weakly stained, and the number of lysosomes was much larger than normal. The messenger RNA expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅱ, β1 integrin, and caspase-9 in the cartilage differed significantly at different ages.Conclusions Increasing thickness followed by fibrosis may be the order of pathological cartilage changes in acetabular dysplasia, with changes in ultrastructure and collagen expression contributing to the process.
