Chiari Osteotomy

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.

Chiari Pelvic Osteotomy

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.

Hip’s open reduction combined with Salter innominate osteotomy and femoral osteotomy is the treatment of choice when treating Developmental Dislocation of the Hip (DDH) at walking age. We report a case of a five-year-old girl who underwent a failed surgical procedure of hip’s open reduction, Salter innominate osteotomy, and the femoral osteotomy. One year later, one-stage surgical procedure of hip’s open reduction, Dega pelvic osteotomy, and femoral de-rotation varus shortening osteotomy was performed. During the five-year follow-up, the clinical outcome was evaluated as excellent. The Dega pelvic osteotomy is an effective pelvic osteotomy for DDH, in a case of a failed Salter osteotomy.

Background: This study aimed to determine the clinical and radiological course in children who had Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease (LCPD) associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods: In a retrospective chart review between 2007 and 2019, eight consecutive JIA patients diagnosed with concomitant LCPD were identified and compared with a case-control group of 10 children with LCPD only. Results: LCPD was diagnosed at a mean age of 8.1 years (3.0–14.7) in children with JIA as compared to 6.1 years (2.9–10.0) in controls. According to the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), four children with JIA and all controls had an excellent result. Regarding the fragmentation severity and the duration of each stage, we found no differences using the lateral pillar and modified Elizabethtown classification. Five hips were classified as Stulberg I/II, two hips as Stulberg III, and one hip as Stulberg V with no evidence of hip dysplasia or severe overcoverage in either group. Conclusions: The radiological outcome of LCPD did not differ between both groups, while the clinical outcome was slightly better in controls. Physicians should be aware that children with LCPD may have JIA too. In suspicious cases, further investigations are recommended, and patients should be referred to pediatric rheumatologists.

Total hip arthroplasty has become a successful way of treating the painful and destroyed hip joint in the patient with rheumatoid arthritis( RA). Two hundred twenty(135 cemented and 85 noncemented) total hip arthroplasties we were performed in 180 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The average age was 48,61 years and the average follow-up was 8,4 years. Clinical evaluation was based on a Harris hip score that showed significant improvement in pain and function preoperatively compared with pain and function at follow-up. There were two deep infections requiring removal of the prosthesis. Four cemented acetabular cups and one cemented femoral component were revised due to aseptic loosening. Three acetabular rings were revised due to aseptic loosening. The relatively inferior results of total hip arthroplasty among RA patients is due not only to fixation method, but also to the poorer bone quality and weakening musculature. The results in these patients suggest that cement less total hip arthroplasty might become a successful way of treating the destroyed hip joint in the patient with rheumatoid arthritis.

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.

Introduction. The purpose of this study is to signify any clinical and radiological correlation, if present, in patients of Legg-Calve-Perthes’ disease (LCPD) who underwent an ambulatory conservative method of containment and their final outcome. Material and methods. Retrospective study over an 8-year period including patients of LCPD who were treated by an ambulatory conservative method showing signs of healing in the last radiological assessment was done. Clinically, gait, limb length discrepancy, range of motion of the hip, and Harris hip score were noted. The radiological parameters assessed in this study were epiphyseal index, epiphyseal quotient, acetabular head index, and epiphyseal extrusion index. Stulberg criteria was used to assess final outcome. Results. A total of 24 patients (17 males, 7 females) with a mean age of 7.9±3 years (5–9 years) who had a clinic-radiological diagnosis of LCPD were included in the study. There was a significant improvement of range of motion of the hip joint along with Harris hip score (t(18)= -16.77, p<0.001) but no significant changes in the radiological parameters during the course of the disease. There was no correlation between radiological parameters and Harris hip score. 79.1% (19/24) had a good outcome at final follow up. Conclusion. The function and clinical outcome during the course and healing of LCPD does not correlate with the radiographic changes and ambulatory conservative management leads to satisfactory improvement in functional activity. Age at onset and lateral pillar classification are important factors influencing final outcome in LCPD.

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.

Aims: Our main objectives were to evaluate the effect of surgery using self-assessed health scores. Secondary objectives were to correlate outcome with grade of deformity (Stulberg classification I–V) or age at surgery and whether additional periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is beneficial for patients with concurrent acetabular dysplasia. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort and in part a cross sectional study using a planned clinical and radiological follow-up of patients. All patients with healed Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) treated with osteochondroplasty and relative neck lengthening using surgical hip dislocation, with or without periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) were included. A total of 39 patients were identified and invited to participate (29 males and 10 females) of which 32 accepted. Radiographic assessment and Stulberg classification were obtained. The Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and the VAS scale of EQ-5D-5L were used. Results: The majority of the patients experienced improvement (74%, n = 27) and 21 patients (78%, n = 27) found the surgery worthwhile. Preoperative Stulberg II and III patients (83% improvement) showed better results than Stulberg IV and V patients (56% improvement) ( n = 27, p = 0.121). There was significantly better patient-satisfaction for those younger than 29 years of age (⩽18 years old (92%), 19–28 years old (89%), ⩾29 years old (67%), x2(2) = 8512, n = 27, p = 0.022) and a negative correlation for age at onset of LCPD and mHHS ( r = –0.420, p = 0.046, n = 23). Patients with concurrent acetabular dysplasia ( n = 19), 82% (9 of 11) improved after additional PAO compared to 63% (5 of 8) who were not operated on with PAO. Conclusion: This procedure is worthwhile in selected cases except for severe deformity (Stulberg IV and V) and patients >28 years of age.

Background. Hip distraction in Perthes’ disease unloads the joint, which negates the harmful effect of the stresses on the articular surfaces, which may promote the sound healing of the area of necrosis. We have examined the effect of arthrodiastasis on the preservation of the femoral head in older children with Perthes’ disease.Methods and Materials. Twelve children with age more than 8 years with Perthes’ disease of less than one year were treated with hip distraction by a hinged monolateral external fixator.Observation and Results. Mean duration of distraction was 13.9 days. These children were evaluated by clinicoradiological parameters for a mean period of 32.4 months. There was a significant improvement in the range of movements and mean epiphyseal index, but the change in the percentage of uncovered head femur was insignificant. There was significant improvement in Harris Hip score.Conclusions. Hip distraction by hinged monolateral external fixator seems to be a valid treatment option in cases with Perthes’ disease in the selected group of patients, where poor results are expected from conventional treatment.
