Dysplasia Of The Hip

Abstract Background The compensatory mechanisms of the spine, pelvis, and lower limbs are essential to maintaining an upright posture. The effect of a high dislocated dysplastic hip on spinal-pelvic alignment has not been well described. The aim of this study was to investigate the sagittal spinal-pelvic alignment in patients with Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH). Methods A prospective study was conducted from July 2016 to December 2017, and 49 consecutive patients with unilateral or bilateral high dislocated dysplastic hips were enrolled. Forty-nine sex- and age-matched asymptomatic healthy adults were also recruited as a control group. The sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), spino-sacral angle (SSA), C7 tilt (C7T), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA[C7])were measured on lateral whole spine radiographs. The presence of low back pain and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were recorded. Results Patients with high dislocated dysplastic hips showed significantly greater SS(47.5±7.5° vs. 40.4±6.7°, p<0.001), LL(-63.7±9.2° vs. -53.3±11.5°, P<0.001), SSA(141.8°±7.2° vs. 130.6±7.9°, p<0.001), C7T(93.9±3.6° vs. 91.1±3.7°, P<0.001), and lower SVA(C7) (-16mm[-95-45] vs. 6.4mm[-52-47], p<0.001) compared to normal controls. Patients with bilateral high dislocated dysplastic hips also exhibited larger SS, LL, SSA, and C7T and a smaller SVA(C7) than those of patients with unilateral hip dysplasia. 63.2% of the patients with high dislocated dysplastic hips reported low back pain. Conclusion Patients with Crowe type IV DDH exhibited abnormal spinal-pelvic alignment characterized by anterior pelvic tilt, lumbar hyperlordosis, and a backward-leaning trunk. Bilateral dislocated dysplastic hips had a greater impact on spinal-pelvic alignment than unilateral dislocated dysplastic hips.

Abstract Background: The observational study aimed to investigate the change and correlations of the spinopelvic parameters as well as the relationships with the related symptoms in unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) patients. Methods: The clinical data of 22 unilateral DDH patients and 20 healthy volunteers were collected from 2016 to 2021. All patients and volunteers were taken the antero-posterior pelvic radiograph and the frontal and lateral radiography of the whole spine as a routine examination. And the clinical symptoms, signs and functions were measured according to Oswestry Disability Index and Low Back Pain Scoring System. Then the t test and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the data. Results: The Cobb(8.68±6.21°), L3(4.79±5.47°), CB(1.65±1.57cm), PT(15.02±9.55°) and TLK (7.69±6.66°) were significantly larger in the DDH patients, whereas LL(37.41±17.17°) were significantly smaller (P＜0.05). As for the coronal spinopelvic parameters, CB was found to be associated with L3 (R=0.58, P＜0.01). Of the sagittal spinopelvic parameters, SS was found to be associated with LL (R=0.48, P=0.02), and TLK was found to be related to ST and TK, respectively (R=0.49, P=0.02; R=-0.45, P=0.04). In terms of relations between the spinal and pelvic parameters, PI were found to be related to the SS (R=0.58, P＜0.01). An analysis of relations revealed a correlation between the Oswestry Disability Index and Cobb(R=0.59, P＜0.01), PT(R=0.49, P=0.02), TK(R=-0.46, P=0.03) and TLK(R=0.44, P=0.04). Furthermore, an analysis of relations revealed a correlation between Low Back Pain Scoring System and Cobb (R=-0.44, P=0.04), L3(R=-0.53, P=0.01), PT (R=-0.44, P=0.04), TK(R=0.46, P=0.03) and TLK(R=-0.43, P=0.05). Conclusion: The parameters are related to each other and compensate each other to maintain the balance of the coronal and sagittal planes of the spine. In addition, the change of some parameters is closely related to the quality of life of the patients, and can provide some clues for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of DDH.

Abstract Objective We aimed at describing spin pelvic alignment features in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS), in comparison with other patients complaining of low back pain but no evidence of spondylolisthesis on standard standing lateral lumbosacral X-ray. Methods In this prospective descriptive study, patients with low back pain included in two groups of DS and non-DS patients, according to preoperative lumbosacral X-ray in standard standing lateral position. Patient’s demographic characteristics, as well as spinopelvic alignment parameters including pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis, and facet joint orientation, were collected. DS patients were compared with non-DS, age-matched control group. Results DS patients were significantly obese (p = 0.031) and had a high PI (56.39 ± 11.5), SS (38.28 ± 10.32), and PT (18.52 ± 9.11), (p = 0.00, 0.01, 0.04, respectively). Moreover, segmental lordosis at L2–L3, L3–L4, and L5–S1 levels demonstrated a significant increase (p < 0.05). Facet joints at L4–L5 level were located more sagittally (37.5 ± 7.07 vs. 40.71 ± 6.33). Conclusion PI, SS, and PT significantly increase in DS patients compared with non-DS group. Elevated segmental lordosis at high lumbar levels and sagittal orientation of facet joints were other features observed in DS patients.

The Relationship

Posture is commonly perceived as the relationship between the segments of the human body upright. Certain parts of the body such as the cephalic extremity, neck, torso, upper and lower limbs are involved in the final posture of the body. Musculoskeletal instabilities and reduced postural control lead to the installation of nonstructural posture deviations in all 3 anatomical planes. When we talk about the sagittal plane, it was concluded that there are 4 main types of posture deviation: hyperlordotic posture, kyphotic posture, rectitude and "sway-back" posture.Pilates method has become in the last decade a much more popular formof exercise used in rehabilitation. The Pilates method is frequently prescribed to people with low back pain due to their orientation on the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis. Pilates exercise is thus theorized to help reactivate the muscles and, by doingso, increases lumbar support, reduces pain, and improves body alignment.

Pain Symptoms

Excessive foot pronation has been reported as being related to chronic low back pain symptoms and risk factors in sports-specific pathologies. Compensating custom-made foot orthotics treatment has not been entirely explored as an effective therapy for chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study aims to observe the effects of custom-made foot orthoses, in subjects with foot pronation suffering from CLBP. A total of 101 patients with nonspecific CLBP and a pronated foot posture index (FPI) were studied. They were randomized in two groups: an experimental one (n = 53) used custom-made foot orthotics, and the control group (n = 48) were treated with non-biomechanical effect orthoses. The CLBP was measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (VAS), both for lower back pain. The symptoms were evaluated twice, at first when the subject was included in the study, and later, after 4 weeks of treatment. The analysis of outcomes showed a significant decrease in CLBP in the custom-made foot orthoses participants group (p < 0.001 ODI; p < 0.001 VAS). These findings suggest that controlling excessive foot pronation by using custom-made foot orthoses may significantly contribute to improving CLBP.

Introduction Pregnancy is characterized by several changes in her body. These changes contribute to the emergence of low back pain, which may influence the quality of sleep during pregnancy. Objective To compare the quality of sleep among pregnant women with and without low back pain during pregnancy, examining the relationship between two variables. Materials methods Thirty volunteers aged between 19 and 36 years, divided into control group (CG – n = 16) and Study Group (SG – n = 14), residents in the cities of Natal, were evaluated in the second trimester of pregnancy. To sleep evaluation were used to index the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Low back pain was evaluated using the pressure algometer, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index. Statistical analysis used the Shapiro Wilk test, Student’s T test for independent samples and Pearson correlation test. Results The mean gestational and chronological ages were 28.2 ± 3.4 years and 19.9 ± 3.7 weeks, respectively. Sleep quality was lower in SG (8.21 ± 4.8) when compared to CG (5.94 ± 1.7) and was statistically significant (P = 0.021). Analyzing the relationship between sleep quality and pain intensity, it was observed that the variables have a positive correlation between them (r = 0.372, P = 0.043). Conclusion Our findings indicate that sleep quality is decreased in women with low back pain compared to those without pain.

Objective: To assess the short-term efficacy of ultrasound-guided caudal epidural steroid injections (ESIs) in improving pain, and nerve function as measured by electrophysiological testing in chronic radicular low back pain. Methods: Patients diagnosed with chronic radicular low back pain were randomized into one of two groups. The injection group (n = 20) underwent a single ultrasound-guided Caudal ESI of 1 ml of 40 mg ml−1 Triamcinolone Acetonide (Kenacort-A), with local anesthetic. The control group (n = 20) underwent a 12-session physiotherapy program. Both groups were evaluated before and 2 weeks after the intervention using visual analog scale for pain and electrophysiological testing comprising peroneal and tibial terminal motor latencies and F-response latencies and chronodispersion. Results: Both groups showed significant pain reduction on the visual analog scale after the intervention. The injection group showed a significant reduction in F wave chronodispersion post-treatment (<0.01). In the control group, there were no significant differences in F wave parameters pre- and post-treatment (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Caudal ESIs were shown to provide short-term improvement of nerve function as evident by improvement in the electrophysiological parameters sensitive to radiculopathy. It was found to be superior to standard physical therapy in this regard. Advances in knowledge: This work shows a novel electrophysiologic evidence of the short-term efficacy ultrasound-guided caudal ESI.
