For optimization of anatomic and functional treatment results pre- and postoperative roentgenologic data were analyzed for 120 patients aged from 6 to 14 years with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease accompanied by severe affection of epiphysis. Mean follow up period after reconstructive (remodeling) surgical interventions, i.e. corrective osteotomy of the femur, pelvic osteotomy by Salter, combinations of those 2 techniques, triple pelvic osteotomy made up 10 years. It was shown that remodeling of femoral head was possible only when the degree of bone coverage was equal or exceeded 1. If that parameter was below 1 the conditions for deformity progression developed. Roentgenologic variants of the affected joint anatomic structure that enabled to define concretely the indications to a certain type of femoral head surgical remodeling were determined.

At the Scientific and Research Institute for Children’s Orthopedics n. a. G. I. Turner we analyzed survey data of 120 patients aged from 6 to 14 years old with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease with severe epiphysis deformation, in order to improve the outcomes. All patients underwent reconstructive (remodeling) surgery - a corrective hip osteotomy, a pelvic osteotomy by Salter, a combination of these techniques and a triple pelvic osteotomy. Postoperative follow-up period averaged 10 years. It is shown that pelvic osteotomy is an operation of choice for Legg-Calve- Perthes disease along with corrective hip osteotomy, and remodeling of the femoral head is only possible when the degree of bone coverage is equal to one or more. We highlighted radioanatomical structure of the affected hip joint, allowing to precise indications for surgical remodeling type of femoral head.

To optimize the anatomical and functional surgical treatment results in patients with early (I-II) stages of juvenile femoral head epiphysiolysis both pre- and postoperative data of clinical, x-ray and magnetic-resonance examinations were analyzed for 120 patients aged 11 - 15 years. Maximum follow up period after surgical interventions, i.e. femoral head epiphysiodesis (n=60) and femoral head epiphysis fixation (n=60) made up 23 and 3 years, respectively. It was shown that surgical intervention for the fixation of femoral head epiphysis ensured reliable stability of the epiphysis preventing the latter from displacement development and progression, and did not exert significant influence upon either femoral neck and head endochondral growth or the length of the upper extremity.

Retrospective analysis of examination and treatment results for 100 patients with epiphyseal dysplasias (ED), aged 3 months - 18 years, was performed. In 22 patients conventional palliative surgical interventions for the elimination of defected limb position were performed. Authors have treated 78 patients: in 25 patients corrective shortening femur osteotomy (CSFO) and in 31 - pelvic osteotomy in combination CSFO was performed. Follow up period was from 3 years to 8 years. By the results of clinical and roentgenologic dynamics of hip joint deformity development in children with ED 3 clinic-roentgenologic-anatomic manifestations of the disease were determined: initial changes (from birth to 6 years), marked changes (7 - 11 years) and severe changes (from 12 years). It was shown that reconstructive operations on pelvic and femoral joint components possessed positive effect especially pronounced in children of the younger age group.

Introduction: The Chiari pelvic osteotomy (CPO) has been recommended as a salvage procedure to improve head coverage in case of hip joint incongruence in paediatric hip disease. In this study, we aimed to assess the long-term results of CPO for severe Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD). Methods: A total of 39 patients who underwent a CPO at our department between 1995 and 2010 were prospectively followed both radiologically (Stulberg classification) and clinically (Harris Hip Score [HHS], conversion into total hip arthroplasty). In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the cases of 12 hips (12 patients, 3 girls, 8 left hips) treated by CPO for severe LCPD (Catterall grade 3 or 4) with hip joint incongruence. Mean follow-up was 14.0 (range 7.6–21.3) years. Results: Mean age at surgery was 10.2 (range 8.2–17.8) years. Additional femoral osteotomy was performed in 8 patients. A good radiological result (Stulberg I or II) was achieved in 2 patients, a fair result (Stulberg III) in 4 patients, and a poor outcome (Stulberg IV or V) in 6 patients. Mean postoperative HHS averaged 93 (range 65–100) points. An excellent functional outcome (HHS 90–100 points) was achieved in 9 patients. No patient underwent total hip arthroplasty during follow-up. Postoperative limb-length discrepancy was found in 3 patients. Conclusions: CPO for severe LCPD with hip joint incongruence resulted in good long-term clinical outcome in about ⅔ of our patients after a mean of 14 years. Our results suggest that CPO can still be considered as a salvage joint-conserving procedure in this selected group of younger patients.

Aims The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of the modified three-group Stulberg classification, which is based on the sphericity of the femoral head, in patients with Perthes’ disease. Methods A total of 88 patients were followed from the time of diagnosis until a mean follow-up of 21 years. Anteroposterior pelvic and frog-leg lateral radiographs were obtained at diagnosis and at follow-up of one, five, and 21 years. At the five- and 21-year follow-up, the femoral heads were classified using a modified three-group Stulberg classification (round, ovoid, or flat femoral head). Further radiological endpoints at long-term follow-up were osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and the requirement for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Results There were 71 males (81%) and 17 females. A total of 13 patients had bilateral Perthes’ disease; thus 101 hips were analyzed. At five-year follow-up, 37 hips were round, 38 ovoid, and 26 flat. At that time, 66 hips (65%) were healed and 91 (90%) were skeletally immature. At long-term follow-up, when the mean age of the patients was 28 years (24 to 34), 20 hips had an unsatisfactory outcome (seven had OA and 13 had required THA). There was a strongly significant association between the modified Stulberg classification applied atfive-year follow-up and an unsatisfactory outcome at long-term follow-up (p < 0.001). Between the five- and 21-year follow-up, 67 hips (76%) stayed in their respective modified Stulberg group, indicating a strongly significant association between the Stulberg classifications at these follow-ups (p < 0.001). Conclusion The modified Stulberg classification is a strong predictor of long-term radiological outcome in patients with Perthes’ disease. It can be applied at the healing stage, which is usually reached five years after the diagnosis is made and before skeletal maturity. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(12):1815–1820.

Results of the analysis of repeated surgical interventions (34 patients, 43 feet) after previously performed surgeries for forefoot static deformities are presented. In all cases various percutaneous techniques were used. Mean follow up was 6 months (3 months — 4 years). Surgical results were assessed using patient satisfaction criterion. Satisfaction with treatment results was recorded in 95% ofpatients. It was shown that potentialities ofpercutaneous technique enabled to solve the majority offorefoot static deformityrevision surgery problems. The conclusion was made that strict order of patient management after reconstructive foot operations enabled to perform early reoperations before severe complications development.

Introduction: The goal of intervention in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is to prevent femoral head deformation by containing the head within the acetabulum. Currently, surgical containment methods are the mainstay of treatment, and pelvic osteotomies have been shown to be successful. They include triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO), Salter osteotomy, Chiari osteotomy and shelf procedure. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiologic results for Chiari osteotomy and TPO in LCPD. Methods: 29 children treated between 1980 and 2010 for LCPD in 2 centres were reviewed. 19 underwent TPO, and 10, Chiari osteotomy. Two independent observers assessed sequential radiographs and medical data. Each hip was preoperatively classed by clinical data, Catteral, Herring and Salter-Thompson classification, centre-edge angle (CE), and acetabular index (AI). The 2 groups were first tested for their comparability. After surgery the hips were classified by Stulberg classification, CE, AI, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and performance of further surgery. Chiari osteotomy and TPO have been secondary compared on these data by Wilcoxon test. Results: Average follow-up was 4.2 years. The 2 groups were comparable before surgery. At first and last follow-up examination, statistically significantly superior results in patients with TPO regarding Stulberg classification (p = 0.01), AI (p = 0.002), pain (p = 0.02) and function (p = 0.01) in the HHS score were found. No differences were noticed concerning CE angle. Conclusions: In our series, TPO provided better radiologic and clinical outcomes compared to Chiari osteotomy, specially concerning the final Stulberg classification. We concluded that TPO should be preferred when indicated.

The possibility of preservation and use of a resected rib for dorsal fusion at final correction of spinal deformity was studied. Treatment results for 80 patients aged 15 to 45 years, with severe spine deformity (scoliosis or kyphoscoliosis) were analyzed. In all patients two step surgical interventions was performed. Either transpedicular or hybrid (screws and sublaminar cerclage) fixation of the vertebral column were performed in 37 and 43 cases, respectively. After ventral release the resected ribs were stitched to subcutaneous fatty tissue and preserved until the time of final dorsal correction. The follow-up period made up 1 - 2 years. Fusion formation and autograft reconstruction was confirmed by radiologic methods. It was shown that rib auto preservation technique was a simple one, did not require special preservation conditions and allowed to preserve sufficient volume of autograft for final spinal deformity correction.

SummaryTriple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) was used in the treatment for traumatic coxofemoral luxations in four adult, large breed dogs with hip dysplasia. Initial closed reductions failed in three and one dog had an initial closed reduction and subsequent open reduction of the coxofemoral luxation that failed. Hip dysplasia was thought to be a prominent factor contributing to the reluxation. TPO successfully maintained reduction of the coxofemoral luxation in all of the dogs. An increase in dorsal acetabular coverage of the femoral head following TPO was demonstrated by an increased Norberg angle. The improved congruency was thought to maintain reduction of the femoral head in the acetabulum and decrease stresses on the joint capsule, allowing healing to occur. Long-term (median: 343, mean ± SD: 406 ± 226 days follow-up) function of the affected limb was comparable to the contralateral limb. Three of the four dogs did not have radiographic progression of coxofemoral degenerative joint disease of the affected joint and differences in the progression of degenerative joint disease were not evident between the affected and the contralateral coxofemoral joint. A decrease in abduction and external rotation and an increase in internal rotation following TPO was noted in the affected coxofemoral joint. Our results establish the utility of this procedure in dysplastic dogs with traumatic coxofemoral luxations.Triple pelvic osteotomy used in the treatment for traumatic coxofemoral luxation in four adult, large breed dogs with hip dysplasia successfully maintained reduction and resulted in satisfactory limb function in all patients.
