Introduction: CHD is a condition, which is frequent in pediatrics in the Caucasian population, remains rare in the Black population, and exceptional in sub-Saharan Africa. The Patient: We report this first Togolese case of bilateral congenital dislocation of the hip associated with genu recurvatum observed in a newborn received on the second day of life. The Primary Diagnoses, Interventions, and Outcomes: The pediatric examination had noted extension of lower limbs. The thighs were in adduction with a stiff bilateral genu recurvatum. The abduction of the thighs on the pelvis was considerably limited. The Barlow and Ortolani maneuvers showed a protrusion. There was also a camptodactyly of the thumbs and a cleft palate. The rest of the examination was normal. Ultrasound of the hip showed a bilateral congenital dislocation of the hip with an estimated acetabular fundus of 7 mm on both the right and left sides. Ultrasound and radiography of the knees were normal. Conclusion: Clinical examination at birth is the key step in diagnosis of congenital hip dislocation. In situations where diagnosis is difficult, ultrasound is of capital importance. Treatment is in the majority of cases orthopedic.

This monograph presents a comprehensive discussion of all aspects of congenital hip dislocation, and constitutes valuable reading for both pediatrician and orthopedic surgeon. The author is well qualified to write such a book; he was associated with Lorenz for many years in Vienna, and was his successor at the Orthopedic University Clinic there. Hass classifies congenital dislocation of the hip in 3 categories: (1) Typical, in which hip dysplasia is present at or before birth and is followed in some cases by dislocation after weight-bearing begins.

Jaeger (Surg. Gyn. A. Obst. V. 50, No. 4) gives 2 cases of successful treatment of congenital hip dislocation in young children. In contrast to the generally accepted late reduction, when the deformation of the glenoid cavity has already gone far, the author proposes to set it early.

Abstract Purpose Congenital dislocation of the knee and hip is a rare congenital disorder. The specific aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of the children with congenital dislocation of the knee and hip who presented after six months of age. Methods All the consecutive children with congenital dislocation of the knee and hip joints were retrospectively reviewed. We included cases that were treated after six months of age and followed up for a minimum of two years. Twenty-four children with congenital dislocation of the knee and hip (thirteen with ligamentous laxity, eleven children with stiff joints) were included. The knee was dislocated in 45 limbs; the hip was dislocated in 40 instances. The knee joint dislocation was treated with quadricepsplasty in all twenty-four children (45 knees). The hip dislocation (n = 32) was addressed with either closed reduction (n = 8) or open reduction of the hip (n = 24). Eight hip dislocations were not addressed. The outcome of the hip and knee was evaluated. Results The clinical and radiological outcomes were better in children with ligamentous laxity than without laxity. Twenty-two children were community walkers. An orthosis was needed in eight children. The frequency of spontaneous reduction of unreduced dislocation of the hip was noted in three children (5/8 hips). Conclusion Outcome in combined dislocation of knee and hip is good in most cases with surgical interventions. The outcome is better in children with ligamentous laxity. Spontaneous reduction of the dislocated hips might be achieved after gaining knee flexion following knee surgery for congenital the knee in a few cases.

Specialists from Children Orthopedic Clinic (CITO) and Institute of Medical Technology elaborated therapeutically active implants on the base of N-vinilpirrolidone and methylmethacrylate with different additives. Those implants were successfully applied in clinical practice. Experimental study on rabbits showed the possibility of implants to stimulate osteogenesis. Various types and shapes of implants were elaborated using different combinations of additives. Minimum invasive surgical intervention and indications to implants' application were worked out. From 1987 to 2001 one hundred thirteen patients with various pathology (obstetrical paresis, clubfoot, juvenile femur head ephiphysiolysis, congenital hip dislocation, funnel-shaped deformity of thorax, dystrophic varus deformity of femur head, osteochondropathy of lower limbs) were treated surgically using new implants. At 3-5 years follow up good and excellent anatomic and functional results were noted in 89% of cases.

The immediate results of treatment of 72 children aged 7 to 12 years with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head after bloodless reduction of congenital hip dislocation were analyzed. When treating patients, the following types of surgical treatment were used:extra-articular or open centering of the femoral head with intertrochanteric-torsion-varizing or devarizing and rotational osteotomy of the femur with bringing down the greater trochanter in the caudal direction. In all patients, pain and lameness disappeared, internal rotation of the lower extremities when walking, and the range of motion in the hip joint improved. Improved radiometric parameters characterizing the ratio of the acetabulum and the head of the femur and the angular values of the hip joint and proximal femur.

Limited hip abduction, when present, is a valuable early sign of congenital hip dysplasia. Other signs and symptoms should be looked for. Confirmation by roentgenographic studies should be sought in all patients. Roentgen changes may be equivocal or lacking during the first three months of life in patients with hip dysplasia. The Frejka pillow splint is a convenient and effective means of treating hip dysplasia or subluxation in early infancy. It is as effective as a cast during this period, and is cleaner and more comfortable. It would seem that a high percentage of cases of congenital hip dysplasia recover spontaneously. However, in view of the seriousness of hip dislocation and the value of early treatment of hip dysplasia, it seems best to treat all infants with clinical signs of this disease.

Introduction: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare condition in childhood with very few cases reported in sub-Saharan Africa. Typically, the patient presents with facial asymmetry, seizures, and hemiparesis. Radiological findings include cerebral hemiatrophy, ipsilateral lateral ventricular dilatation, and hypertrophy of the calvarium and sinuses. Case presentation: We present the report of a 3-year-old male with weakness of right upper and lower limbs, facial asymmetry, and seizures. Physical examination showed a well-nourished child with a squint of the right eye. There were brisk tendon reflexes with right-sided hemiplegia which is spastic with left limb preference. Computer tomography of the brain showed atrophy of the left cerebral hemisphere, ipsilateral lateral ventricular dilatation, and thickening of the ipsilateral cranium. The diagnosis of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome was made. He was treated with sodium valproate and lamotrigine and presently physiotherapy and he had remained seizure-free. Conclusion: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome still affects children despite being a rare condition. There is a need for appropriate clinical and radiological assessment for the diagnosis of DDMS. Early identification and appropriate treatment will improve the general outcome of children with DDMS.

Backgrоund. An analysis of modern literature reveals that presently, there are no algorithms for determining the correct method of surgical treatment for adolescents with high congenital hip dislocation; few publications are devoted to the treatment of adolescents with this pathology. Children are treated by podiatrists until the age of 18 before transferring to adult specialists. There remain debatable issues of total hip replacement in adolescents because there are time limits for hip preservation. The search for improved treatment methods for adolescents with this pathology by preserving their own bone structures continues to be relevant. Aim. To evaluate the long-term results of the treatment of adolescents with complete congenital hip dislocation after intertrochanteric osteotomy using the authors technique. Materials and methods. From 19902006, in the Republican Orthopedic and Traumatological Center of the Republic of Dagestan and the clinic of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Dagestan State Medical University, 37 patients with high congenital dislocation of the hip underwent 49 operations using the method developed by the authors. The surgeries were performed by a single orthopedist and were presented as an angulatory lengthening by transtrochantiс osteotomy of the femur by fixation with a fingered plate. All patients underwent clinical, radiographical, biomechanical, and statistical evaluation before and after surgery using the Harris and VAS scales. The results of the study were processed using the Student, Pearson, and Kolmogorov coefficients and confidence intervals. Results. Over a long-term treatment period of up to 10 years, the average Harris score increased from 44.2 (95% CI 38.747.9) to 80.5 (95% CI 77.185.3). After the 10-year follow-up period (1015 years after surgery), the scores gradually dropped to 72.4 (95% CI 70.178.3). Unsatisfactory treatment results were found in 13.5% of cases and were mainly associated with an unsuccessful choice of support point under the pelvis and the preservation of uncompensated shortening of the limb. The alignment of the created degree of angulation of the hip in terms of adolescent age groups was not established. Differences in treatment results (depending on the inter-operation time for the bilateral dislocation of the hip) were not established. At follow-up periods of 1015 years after surgery, total hip replacement was performed in 21 joints (56.7%). Conclusions. The proposed method of surgical treatment of congenital hip dislocation in adolescents improves the staticdynamic capabilities of the hip joint and remains effective over the following 15 years of life. The duration of inpatient treatment is reduced and does not interfere with subsequent total hip arthroplasty.

Dislocation of the hip is a critical injury that results from high-energy trauma. This paper describes a case of posterior dislocation of the right hip in a 35-year-old woman with associated ipsilateral femoral head fracture. Initial treatment included reduction of the right hip through posterior approach and fixation of the femoral head fracture with three absorbable screws. After 15-month follow-up, a full range of motion has been achieved and there are no signs of avascular necrosis, hip instability, or limping. The authors describe their method of surgery.

BACKGROUND: The stability of a joint depends on the arrangement of the articular surfaces. Thefailure of acetabulum to deepen along with associated relaxed capsule can be a causative factor leadingto congenital dislocation of hip in babies. The right traumatic hip dislocation is less uncommon ascompared to left side in adults.OBJECTIVE: To correlate the majority of right-footed population with the bony parameters of hipjoint bilaterally and to find out its association with left congenital and right acquired traumaticdislocation of hip.MATERIAL AND METHODS: As the right footed people are considerably more (90%) than the leftfooted and this study work was correlated with the bones collected from cadavers in Anatomydepartment of KGMC Peshawar from January 2014 to December 2014. We included 14 pairs of femurs,14 pairs of hip bones in this study to see the structural differences when dominant hip joint is comparedwith non-dominant hip joints. The measurements were performed with the help of vernier caliper.RESULTS: The mean horizontal diameter of right (dominant) and left acetabulum was 50.14±0.69 mmand 52.35±0.65mm. The mean horizontal depth of right and left acetabulum was 22.21±0.82mm and25.25±0.52mm. The horizontal diameter of right and left femur was 46.42±0.62mm and 43.85±01mm.The thickness of femoral head was 26.71±01mm on right (dominant) side but this thickness was29.17±01mm on left side.CONCLUSION: The left acetabulum was having a significant larger diameter in adult, allowing thesmaller left femoral head to fit snugly which can be correlated with the more common left congenitaldislocation hip. On the other hand, in adults, the left acetabulum is deeper, allowing the thicker left headof femur as an adjustment for weight bearing functionwhile the larger rightfemoral head fit into acomparatively shallow socket. This may be a factor to improve mobility at the cost of stability; as righttraumatic dislocationhip is less uncommon as compared to left side.KEY WORDS: Hip joint, Ball and socket joint.
