Purpose Despite the early diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), some older children still need open reduction. It is usually difficult to get a satisfactory reduction particularly in patients with acetabular defect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of acetabulum reaming and sartorius muscle pedicle iliac bone grafting in the treatment of older children with DDH and acetabular defect. Methods The records of 15 patients with DDH (mean age 113.9 months (sd 29); 17 hips) who were treated with the reported technique between February 2015 and January 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients acquired regular clinical and radiographic follow-ups, and alterations in the acetabular index, centre-edge angle and acetabular head index were measured. Joint function and radiographic results were evaluated with McKay and Severin modified criteria, respectively. Results A total of 15 patients were followed up for mean 32.4 months (sd 6.9). The percentages of excellent and good conditions were 94.1% (16/17) according to the Severin modified criteria and 88.2% (15/17) according to the McKay modified criteria. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head and redislocation only occurred in one hip. No cases of ankylosis or bone graft absorption occurred during the follow-up. Conclusion Reaming the acetabulum and sartorius muscle pedicle iliac bone grafting for repairing the acetabular defect can recover the arcuate structure by increasing the volume of the acetabulum, which is beneficial for achieving a concentric reduction. The short-term outcome was satisfactory, while the long-term results need to be further observed. Level of Evidence IV – retrospective study

Affected Tissue

Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia is an uncommon but important condition, often associated with neurofibromatosis, in which the tibia has a region of abnormal bone prone to fracture and subsequent non-union with a fibrocartilaginous pseudoarthrosis forming at the fracture site. The limb is prone to malalignment and distal deformity. Management requires correction and stabilization of the deformity with excision of the affected tissue of the tibia and reconstruction either with bone grafting, transport, or transfer of vascularized fibula.

Envenoming from snake bite is an important medical condition, frequently encountered at the emergency department of BPKIHS hospital (Dharan, Nepal). This is a retrospective study of 52 cases of suspected snake bite who presented at the department from August 1993 to November 1994. Analysis of the data showed that snake bite was more frequent between the ages of 11 to 20 years (36.7%) and 2.5 times more common in males. Fifty-seven per cent of the bites occurred between 1600 h and midnight with highest incidence (51%) occurring during the monsoon (August–October). Twenty per cent of the patients were able to identify the snake species as venomous and 90% of them presented to the hospital within 3 h of being bitten. Sixty per cent of the bites were in the lower limb. Neurotoxicity due to envenoming was recorded in nine patients (17%). No case of coagulopathy was recorded. The overall case fatality was 3.8% but mortality amongst those exhibiting signs of neurotoxicity was 22%.
