Advances in revision surgery after primary total hip arthroplasty for Crowe type Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To review research advances of revision surgery after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with Crowe type Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).@*METHODS@#The recent literature on revision surgery after primary THA in patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH was reviewed. The reasons for revision surgery were analyzed and the difficulties of revision surgery, the management methods, and the related prosthesis choices were summarized.@*RESULTS@#Patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH have small anteroposterior diameter of the acetabulum, large variation in acetabular and femoral anteversion angles, severe soft tissue contractures, which make both THA and revision surgery more difficult. There are many reasons for patients undergoing revision surgery after primary THA, mainly due to aseptic loosening of the prosthesis. Therefore, it is necessary to restore anatomical structures in primary THA, as much as possible and reduce the generation of wear particles to avoid postoperative loosening of the prosthesis. Due to the anatomical characteristics of Crowe type Ⅳ DDH, the patients have acetabular and femoral bone defects, and the repair and reconstruction of bone defects become the key to revision surgery. The acetabular side is usually reconstructed with the appropriate acetabular cup or combined metal block, Cage, or custom component depending on the extent of the bone defect, while the femoral side is preferred to the S-ROM prosthesis. In addition, the prosthetic interface should be ceramic-ceramic or ceramic-highly cross-linked polyethylene wherever possible.@*CONCLUSION@#The reasons leading to revision surgery after primary THA in patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH and the surgical difficulties have been clarified, and a large number of clinical studies have proposed corresponding revision modalities based on which good early- and mid-term outcomes have been obtained, but further follow-up is needed to clarify the long-term outcomes. With technological advances and the development of new materials, personalized prostheses for these patients are expected to become a reality.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip - Part 1 / Displasia do desenvolvimento do quadril - Parte 1

Abstract Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition characterized by changes in joint formation within the last months of intrauterine life or the first months after birth. Developmental dysplasia of the hip presentation ranges from femoroacetabular instability to several stages of dysplasia up to complete dislocation. Early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Clinical screening, including appropriate maneuvers, is critical in newborns and subsequent examinations during the growth of the child. Infants with suspected DDH must undergo an ultrasound screening, especially those with a breech presentation at delivery or a family history of the condition. A hip ultrasound within the first months, followed by pelvic radiograph at 4 or 6 months, determines the diagnosis and helps follow-up. Treatment consists of concentric reduction and hip maintenance and stabilization with joint remodeling. The initial choices are flexion/abduction orthoses; older children may require a spica cast after closed reduction, with or without tenotomy. An open reduction also can be indicated. After 18 months, the choices include pelvic osteotomies with capsuloplasty and, eventually, acetabular and femoral osteotomies. The follow-up of treated children must continue throughout their growth due to the potential risk of late dysplasia.

Resumo O termo displasia do desenvolvimento quadril (DDQ) refere-se à condição na qual a articulação sofre alterações na sua formação durante os últimos meses da vida intrauterina ou nos primeiros meses após o nascimento. No espectro de apresentação, varia desde a instabilidade femuroacetabular, passando por estádios de displasia até a completa luxação. O diagnóstico precoce é fundamental para o sucesso do tratamento. A triagem através do exame clínico incluindo manobras apropriadas é imprescindível nos recém-nascidos e nas avaliações subsequentes durante o crescimento da criança. O rastreamento ultrassonográfico é indicado nos bebês sob suspeita clínica e muito mais recomendável naqueles que tiveram apresentação pélvica para o parto ou que tenham antecedentes familiares. A ultrassonografia do quadril nos primeiros meses seguida da radiografia da bacia após o 4° ou 6° mês de vida são os exames que determinam o diagnóstico e auxiliam o seguimento. O tratamento está baseado na obtenção de uma redução concêntrica e na manutenção e estabilização do quadril, propiciando a remodelação articular. Inicialmente, as órteses de flexão/abdução são a escolha; em crianças maiores pode ser necessário o uso de gesso após redução incruenta com ou sem tenotomia; redução aberta pode ser indicada e após os 18 meses as osteotomias pélvicas associadas a capsuloplastia e eventuais osteotomias acetabular e femoral. Crianças tratadas devem ser acompanhadas durante todo o seu crescimento pelo eventual risco de displasias tardias.

Research status of acetabular reconstruction in Crowe type Ⅱ and Ⅲ developmental dysplasia of the hip / 中国骨伤

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a major cause of hip arthritis and ultimately total hip arthroplasty. Due to the dysplastic acetabulum, how to place the acetabular cup becomes a challenge in acetabular reconstruction for such patients. Especially in the acetabula classified as Crowe typeⅡand type Ⅲ, the dislocation of the femoral head causes bone defects above the true acetabulum, which will affect the stability of the acetabular cup when the acetabular reconstruction is performed at the true acetabulum. Many acetabular reconstruction methods such as bone grafting, the use of small acetabular cups, socket medialization technique, and high hip center technique are used to increase the host bone coverage of the cup. However, each method has its own shortcomings that can not be ignored so that there is no unified conclusion on the acetabular reconstruction methods for Crowe typeⅡand type Ⅲ hip dysplasia. This article summarized and evaluated various reconstruction methods in combination with the acetabular morphology of DDH, and put forward the research direction in the future.

Descripción de pacientes con displasia del desarrollo de cadera en Hospital Clínico Herminda Martin, Chillán, entre los años 2020-2021 / Description of patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip at the Hospital Clínico Herminda Martin, Chillán, between the years 2020-2021

Introducción: La displasia del desarrollo de la cadera (DDC), una patología multifactorial más prevalente en el sexo femenino, afecta a lactantes, y el diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno permiten evitar consecuencias posteriores, morbimortalidad significativa y una carga en salud importante. Objetivo: Conocer la realidad local en relación con el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la DDC, describiendo demográficamente a los pacientes evaluados por médicos especialistas, específicamente traumatólogos infantiles del Hospital Clínico Herminda Martin (HCHM) en Chillán. Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo transversal de una cohorte de pacientes evaluados mediante radiografías en el HCHM por sospecha de DDC, entre junio de 2020 y julio de 2021. Se recopilaron variables como sexo, tipo de compromiso del desarrollo de la cadera y tratamiento utilizado. Resultados: De 146 pacientes evaluados, el 83.6% correspondían al sexo femenino, mientras que el 16.4% eran del sexo masculino. En cuanto a los tratamientos ortopédicos, el 82.7% fueron mujeres y el 17.2% hombres, siendo las correas de Pavlik el tratamiento más utilizado. Solo 7 pacientes requirieron tratamiento quirúrgico. Discusión: Los resultados obtenidos se respaldan en la evidencia internacional, reflejando realidades similares a la situación local. La relevancia de este estudio radica en la falta de una base de datos nacional o local actualizada sobre la patología, sumado a la ventaja de informar acerca de los tratamientos disponibles y la adherencia a ellos. Esto permite reflejar el comportamiento de la población local durante los años 2020-2021. Las limitaciones incluyen el seguimiento, debido a restricciones por la pandemia y la falta de datos previos.

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), a multifactorial pathology more prevalent in females, affects infants, where timely diagnosis and treatment avoid subsequent consequences, significant morbidity, and mortality, as well as the health burden it generates. Objective: To understand the local reality regarding the diagnosis and treatment of DDH by describing the demographic characteristics of patients evaluated by medical specialists, specifically child traumatologists from the Hospital Clínico Herminda Martin (HCHM) in Chillán. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a cohort of patients evaluated through radiographs at HCHM due to suspected DDH between June 2020 and July 2021. Variables collected included sex, type of hip development compromise, and treatment used. Results: Out of 146 patients, 83.6% were female and 16.4% were male. In terms of orthopedic treatments, 82.7% were females, and 17.2% were males, with Pavlik straps being the most used orthopedic treatment. Only 7 patients underwent surgical treatment. Discussion: The obtained results align with international evidence, reflecting realities similar to the local situation. The study's significance lies in the absence of an updated national or local database on the pathology. Additionally, it provides insights into available treatments and patient adherence, offering a snapshot of the local population's behavior during 2020-2021. Limitations include patient follow-up challenges due to pandemic restrictions and the lack of pre-existing data.

Recomendaciones en la pesquisa y diagnóstico de la displasia del desarrollo de las caderas / Screening and diagnostic recommendations in the developmental dysplasia of the hip

La displasia del desarrollo de la cadera (DDC) es una anomalía de la articulación coxofemoral caracterizada por una laxitud o posicionamiento anormal de la cabeza femoral con respecto al acetábulo. Es la patología ósea perinatal más frecuente, e incluye alteraciones que van desde el aplanamiento o la displasia acetabular hasta una luxación completa de la cabeza femoral fuera de la articulación, que puede comprometer el desarrollo y la estabilidad articular. Nuestro objetivo es transmitir una sistemática de estudio en la valoración de la cadera del recién nacido, haciendo énfasis en un examen físico correcto como pilar fundamental en la detección de la DDC, y orientar al pediatra en la selección adecuada del método diagnóstico complementario acorde a edad del paciente, con el fin de optimizar la detección y reducir el número de caderas luxadas en etapas tempranas y tardías, y así disminuir la incidencia de patologías asociadas desarrolladas a partir de este trastorno

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a hip joint anomaly that is characterized by a laxity or abnormal positioning of the femoral head with respect to the acetabulum. It is the most common perinatal pathology of the skeleton and includes a spectrum of alterations ranging from flattening or acetabular dysplasia, to a complete dislocation of the femoral head outside the joint that can compromise joint development and stability. The purpose of this presentation is to transmit a systematic study in the evaluation of the newborn's hip, emphasizing a correct physical examination as primordial in the detection of DDH. Also, guide the pediatriciain the proper selection of the complementary diagnostic method to be used according to the age of the patient, in order to optimize detection and reduce the number of dislocated hips in early and late stages as well as the incidence of related pathologies.

Displasia del desarrollo de la cadera: tamizaje y manejo en el lactante / Developmental dysplasia of the hip: screening and management in the infant

La displasia del desarrollo de la cadera comprende un conjunto de anormalidades que afectan la articulación coxofemoral: la displasia, subluxación y luxación de la cadera. El concepto de "displasia" describe anormalidades en la estructura femoral, acetabular o ambas. Corresponde a la patología ortopédica más frecuente del recién nacido y lactante, lo que genera mucha preocupación e intranquilidad entre los padres, en los primeros controles sanos de sus hijos. Es una patología en la que un diagnóstico oportuno y precoz son la clave para poder realizar un tratamiento efectivo, obteniendo como resultado una cadera clínica y radiológicamente normal al finalizar el desarrollo esquelético. Para esto es fundamental conocer la patología e ir activamente en su búsqueda. Actualmente existe mucha discusión sobre la manera de pesquisar esta patología. En Chile, se realiza tamizaje universal con imagen -radiografía de pelvis- a todos los niños a los 3 meses de edad. El objetivo de la siguiente revisión, es traer a la práctica clínica actual de todos aquellos profesionales que se enfrentan en distintos escenarios a esta patología: médicos de atención primaria, enfermeras, médicos en etapas de destinación y formación en distintas regiones del país, pediatras y ortopedistas, aquellas características y signos de sospecha propios de esta enfermedad y detallar las herramientas para un correcto diagnóstico y oportuno tratamiento.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) comprises a set of abnormalities that affect the hip joint: hip dysplasia, subluxation, and dislocation. It is the most frequent orthopedic pathology of the newborn and infant, and it generates great concern among parents during the first health check-ups of their children. It is a condition in which a timely and early diagnosis is key to be able to carry out an effective treatment, obtaining as a result of a clinically and radiologically normal hip at the end of skeletal development. For this, it is essential to know this orthopedic condition and actively search for it. Currently, there is much discussion about how to screen DDH. In Chile, universal screening with imaging - pelvic radiography - is performed on all children at 3 months of age. The objective of the following review is to bring to the current clinical practice of all those professionals who face this pathology in different scenarios: primary care physicians, nurses, physicians in training stages in different regions of the country, pediatricians and orthopedic surgeons, signs of suspicion typical of the disease and detail the assessment tools for a correct diagnosis and timely treatment.

Hallazgos artroscópicos de la cadera en pacientes con indicación de osteotomía periacetabular / Arthroscopic findings of the hip in patients with indication of periacetabular osteotomy

Introducción La displasia de la cadera en desarrollo (DCD) produce cambios anatómicos que dan lugar a artrosis precoz. Dentro de los procedimientos quirúrgicos indicados, se encuentra la osteotomía periacetabular de Ganz, diseñada para mejorar la arquitectura de la cadera, que por sí sola, no mejora el daño del cartílago articular, además de posibles lesiones del labrum. El objetivo fue describir hallazgos artroscópicos encontrados en caderas con displasia e indicación de osteotomía periacetabular de Ganz. Materiales & Métodos Estudio observacional tipo serie de casos, basado en la revisión de los registros clínicos (descripción quirúrgica y video de la artroscopia) de todos los casos con diagnóstico de displasia de cadera e indicación de osteotomía periacetabular de Ganz, en quienes se realizó artroscopia antes de la osteotomía. Resultados La artroscopia de cadera demostró compromiso intra-articular en 76,9% de los casos estudiados (10 de 13). Seis casos tenían compromiso del cartílago articular en las zonas geográficas 2, 3 y 4, adicionalmente se observó compromiso de la unión condrolabral en seis casos y el daño a nivel del labrum, se detectó en 5 casos; con respecto al offset cabeza-cuello femoral, se encontró disminuido en 5 casos. En una de las caderas, se contraindicó la osteotomía periacetabular por el grado de compromiso del cartílago articular. Discusión La DCD es una condición clínica que predispone al daño de estructuras articulares con alta frecuencia, que pueden ser tratadas de forma artroscópica con el fin de evitar la persistencia de síntomas después de una osteotomía periacetabular o incluso contraindicarla.

Background Dysplasia of the hip in development (DHD) produces anatomical changes that cause premature arthrosis. Within the surgical procedures indicated, Ganz periacetabular osteotomy has been described. It is designed to improve the architecture of the hip that, by itself, does not improve the damage to the articular cartilage, as well as possible lessions of the labrum. The objective was to describe the arthroscopic findings found in hips with dysplasia and indication of Ganz periacetabular osteotomy. Method Case series type observational retrospective study based on the review of surgical descriptions and videos of all cases with diagnosis of hip dysplasia and indication of Ganz periacetabular osteotomy where arthroscopy of the hip was performed prior to the osteotomy. Results Hip arthroscopy showed intra-articular compromise of 76.9% of the cases studied (10 of 13). Six cases had compromise of the articular cartilage in the 2, 3 and 4 geographic zones. In addition, compromise of the chondrolabral joint was observed in 6 cases and damage at the labrum level was detected in 5 cases. In regard to the femoral head-neck offset, it was found to be reduced in 5 cases. In one of the cases periacetabular osteotomy was contraindicated due to the level of compromise of the articular cartilage. Conclusions DHD is a clinical condition that is very frequently predisposed to damage of the articular structures; they can be treated with arthroscopy with the aim of avoiding persistence of sypmtoms after a periacetabluar osteotomy or even contraindicating it.

Erector spinae plane block in pediatric orthopedic surgery: two case reports / Bloqueio do plano eretor da espinha em cirurgia ortopédica pediátrica: dois relatos de caso

Abstract The erector spinae plane block is a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique, which has earned new indications perioperatively since its description. We introduce two pediatric anesthesia cases in which we performed the erector spinae plane block during intermediate/major orthopedic surgeries. The first patient is a 2 year-old girl submitted to surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. The second patient is a 14 year-old boy submitted to surgical treatment of bilateral clubfoot. This last patient is potentially the first published case in which the erector spinae plane block was performed for ankle and foot surgery. Both cases experienced excellent analgesia, avoiding opiate requirement completely.

Resumo O bloqueio do plano eretor da espinha guiado por ultrassonografia é uma técnica segura e eficaz de anestesia regional, que apresenta novas indicações no perioperatório. Apresentamos dois casos de bloqueio do plano eretor da espinha realizados para analgesia de cirurgia ortopédica pediátrica de médio/grande porte. O primeiro: menina de 2 anos submetida a tratamento cirúrgico de displasia do desenvolvimento do quadril. O segundo: menino de 14 anos submetido a correção de pé valgo bilateral. Este último, no melhor do nosso conhecimento, é o primeiro caso de bloqueio do plano eretor da espinha em cirurgia de tornozelo/pé descrito na literatura. Os casos tiveram analgesia pós-operatória adequada, sem necessidade de opioides.

Application of 3D printing guide plate in total hip arthroplasty for developmental dysplasia of the hip / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the value of 3D-printed navigation template using in total hip arthroplasty(THA)for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).@*METHODS@#Twenty five patients with DDH underwent total hip arthroplasty from February 2016 to May 2018 were analyzed retrospectively, including 4 males and 21 females, aged from 40 to 75 years old. Among them, 5 cases were Crowe typeⅡ, 14 cases were Crowe type Ⅲ and 6 cases were Crowe type Ⅳ. Twelve cases of them underwent THA with the 3D printing navigation plate, another 13 cases underwent the same operation but without the aid of navigation templates. All patients were treated by the same operators. The operating time, intra- and post-operative hemorrhage and Harris Hip Score(HHS) at six months postoperativelywere compared, anteversion angle, abduction angle and the distance from rotation center to the ischial tuberosity connection between ipsilateral and contralateral sides were also compared.@*RESULTS@#All of the patients were followed up for 12 to 26 months. The operation time, intra- and post-operative hemorrhage and Harris score in the 3D printing group were better than those in the conventional hip replacement group(@*CONCLUSION@#The 3D-printed operation navigation template technique is an individualized, accurate and promisingtechnique for THA with DDH.
