Q

visual assessment of DDH

A

Positive Allis or Galeazzi sign:
- Relative shorteness of the femur with the hip and knees flexed

  • Discrepancy in leg lengths
  • Asymmetry of gluteal and thigh folds
  • visual signs are useful only for unilateral DDH

Q

Sonographic evaluation of hip?

A

Linear transducer
12- 7.5MHz for birth to 3 mo
5.0MHz for older infants

Sonography of the hip is best performed up to 6 mo of age
6months to a year, radiography is more reliable due to increasing bony ossification

Q

coronal plane of the hip may be obtained how?

A
  • May be obtained with the hip in a neutral (15-20o of flexion) or flexed position and the infant may be either in a decub or a supine
  • probe placed at lateral aspect of hip providing a longitudinal image of hip from the coronal plane

Q

what is seen in coronal scan place of hip?

A

The femoral head can be identified sitting in the acetabulum

Iliac line will be identified superiorly, and the bony shaft of the femoral neck will be identified inferiorly

Iliac line should appear as a straight line - important in making an accurate assessment

21
Q
A

The first line is aligned with the ilium and extends through the head of the femur

The second line is drawn along the bony acetabulum

The third line extends from end of ilium line along the cartilaginous acetabulum (labrum)

22
Q

angle a and b?

A
  • The α-angle has been used as the primary measure for hip dysplasia
    If the angle is > 60o - normal
  • β-angle isn’t widely used
  • Less than 55o is normal
  • ‘big beta bad’

use GRAFF classification

23
Q

GRAFF classification type 1 hip?

A
  • normal

- alpha andle >60 degrees

24
Q

GRAFF classification type 2 hip?

A
  • normal if newborn
  • up to 3 months of age indicates slowed development
  • alpha angle 44-60 degrees
25
Q

GRAFF classification type 3 hip?

A
  • dislocated hip

- alpha angle <43 degrees

26
Q

GRAFF classification type 4 hip?

A
  • gross dislocation

- alpha andle not measurable

27
Q
A

type 2 GRAFF

28
Q

Hip instability will present with a Femoral Head Concerage (FHC) of approx?

A

36-37%- SUBLUXATION

29
Q

normal FHC?

A

60 %

30
Q

Femoral Head Coverage?

A
  • Alpha measurement is more reproducible
  • Applications have been developed to assess the percentage of FHC

A qualitative assessment is considered to be sufficient

  • Shallow
  • Intermediate
  • Deep
31
Q

what is ball on spoon?

A

normal hip apperance
ball: femoral head
iliac line: handle
scoop of spoon: acetabulum

32
Q

When the hip is subluxable what is seen?

A

superior or lateral displacement of the femoral head will be identified

33
Q

With hip dislocation what is seen?

A

femoral head will appear completely out of acetabulum

34
Q

In the flexed position the infant’s hip can be?

A
  • stressed when scanning by exerting downward pressure and simultaneously adducting and abducting the hip slightly
  • Tests for instability
  • Demonstrates if subluxed or dislocated hip is reducible
35
Q
A

hip dislocation

36
Q
A

subluxation

37
Q

Hip Effusion clinical presentation?

A

Localized pain
Limping or refusal to bear weight
Limited movement
Fever

38
Q

hip effusion sono features?

A

Evaluate for presence of effusion
Aspirate of the effusion is analyzed to differentiate between
- transient synovitis
- septic arthritis

39
Q

Hip Effusion: transient Synovitis

A
  • Relatively common cause of a painful hip in children
  • Self-limiting disease
  • can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication and rest
  • Most have no fever at the time of onset of hip pain
  • No long-term effects
40
Q

Hip Effusion: Septic Arthritis?

A

Serious bacterial infection
More severe clinical symptoms than transient synovitis
Clinical differentiation may be difficult
Usually present with a fever

41
Q

Hip Effusion: Septic Arthritis s/s?

A

increased ESR
increased WBC count

Medical emergency requiring rapid treatment to avoid long-term effects:
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head
Osteomyelitis
Systemic sepsis
Osteoarthritis of the hip joint
42
Q

Hip Effusion: Septic Arthritis treatment?

A
  • Ultrasound guided arthrocentesis is utilized to aspirate the fluid for lab evaluation
  • if septic arthritis is confirmed, hospitalization occurs with intravenous A/B
  • Arthrocentesis can also relieve the pain
43
Q

arthrocentesis?

A

General or local anesthesia

Imaging performed from the anterior aspect of the leg with probe parallel to femoral neck

44
Q

Normal hip capsule is ?

A

2-5mm in thickness and symmetric on both sides

45
Q

abnormal capsular thickness of hip?

A

> 5mm or a 2mm difference between the two hips with unilateral process

46
Q

DDH treatment depends on?

A 
Depending on the severity of DDH, including:
mild instability
subluxation
dislocatable hip
or frank dislocation
47
Q

DDH treatment?

A 
U/S follow-up
placing the infant in a Pavlik harness
bracing the lower extremities
casting
surgical reduction
48
Q

Radiography?

A
  • May fail to identify marginal abnormalities since the newborn hip is primarily composed of cartilage
  • Less costly
  • More effective at 6 months and older when the ossification starts
49
Q

CT?

A

primarily indicated for follow-up

especially useful when imaging casted patients

50
Q

MRI?

A

excellent for identifying MSK abnormalities
no ionizing radiation
expensive and long examination time requires sedation
