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

Background and objectives: Closed reduction and short leg spica casting are the preferred treatment options for children with developmental dysplasia of the hip. This study aimed to show the efficacy behind a standardized closed reduction for managing patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip with concomitant soft tissue releases when indicated and using a short leg plaster of Paris cast to maintain reduction and reporting mid-term results. Methods: A case series of 95 hips in 84 children aged 6-18 months who had closed reduction, with five years follow up or until next operation, involved in this study. The protocol defines acceptable concentric reduction criteria and the indications for an associated soft tissue release. All the patients were immobilized in a short leg cast for three months. Multiple follow-up radiographs were taken to assess Tönnis grade, Severin grade, acetabular index, and osteonecrosis signs. Results: A total of 48 hips were Tönnis grade 3/4 hips. At one year, 15 reductions couldn’t be maintained, and these patients needed open reduction. Of these 15 failed reductions, 7 patients were Severin 1; others were Severin 2. Of the 80 successful closed reductions, 70 hips were Severin 1. Surgical management for residual dysplasia was offered for 8 hips. Osteonecrosis was seen in 23 hips but was transient in 20. Bilateral hip dislocations and most Tönnis 4 hips were more likely to fail. Two children had severe osteonecrosis. Conclusions: Closed reduction, with subsequent adductor and psoas releases, when indicated and using a short leg plaster of Paris cast for three months, brings about good mid-term results in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip aged 6-18 months. Keywords: Developmental dysplasia of the hip, closed hip reduction, open psoas release, short leg cast.

Abstract Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the short-term clinical performance and safety of percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) techniques for the treatment of bone tumors. Methods This single-institution retrospective study investigated 47 cases of bone tumors treated by MWA from June 2015 to June 2018. The study included 26 patients (55.3%) with benign bone tumors and 21 patients (44.7%) with malignant bone tumors. The tumors were located in the spine or sacrum (15, 31.9%), the upper extremities (6, 12.8%), the lower extremities (17, 36.2%) and the pelvis (9, 19.1%). Outcomes regarding clinical efficacy, including pain relief, quality of life, and intervention-related complications, were evaluated before and after MWA using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scoring system. Results Of the 47 patients included in this study, all of them completed follow-up examinations, with a mean follow-up duration of 4.8 ± 1.6 months (range, 2–9 months). Significantly improved VAS and SF-36 scores were recorded after the initial treatment (P<0.001), suggesting that almost 100% of patients experienced pain relief and an improved quality of life following surgery. No major intervention-related complications (e.g., serious neurovascular injury or infection) occurred during or after the treatment. We recorded only three minor posttreatment complications (6.4%, 3/47), which were related to thermal injury that caused myofasciitis and affected wound healing. Conclusion In our study, the short-term efficacy of MWA was considerably favorable, with a relatively low rate of complications. Our results also showed that MWA was effective for pain relief and improved patients’ quality of life, making it a feasible treatment alternative for bone tumors.

Introduction: Treatment of developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) diagnosed after 10 years of age is extremely difficult because of the soft tissue and bone deformities. In this study, we evaluated short-term results of a single-stage procedure performed with surgical hip dislocation, femoral shortening and capsular arthroplasty. Patients and Methods: A retrospective review of charts of five patients with DDH, older than 10 years, who underwent capsular arthroplasty at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital between 2013 and 2015 was performed. Post-operative functional evaluation was performed using modified McKay’s scoring system and radiographic assessment using Severin’s scoring method at a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Results: We present results of five patients (six hips) with a mean age of 18.16 years. All patients had limping gait and International Hip dysplasia Institute classification (IHDI) class 4 hip dislocation. Harris hip score showed a significant improvement (53.13 vs 84.16; p = 0.0001). Femoral shortening of 2–2.5 cm was done. Additional shelf procedure was required in one patient. This patient persistently has post-operative hip subluxation. All patients had good to excellent outcomes according to McKay classification. Post-operative Severin classification was 1A in all patients. No case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head was noted during the follow-up. Conclusion: Capsular arthroplasty with subtrochanteric shortening is a useful procedure for neglected cases of DDH in patients older than 10 years.
