Q

How is DDH treated in an early presentation?

A

23hrs a day for up to 12 weeks until USS is normal

Q

What is the treatment for a late presentation of DDH?

A

Closed reduction or open reduction

20
Q

What is reactive synovitis?

A

Inflammation of the synovium, often secondary to a viral illness

21
Q

What is the presentation of reactive synovitis of the hip?

A 
Often Hx of viral illness
Limp and hip/groin pain 
May present with referred pain to knee 
Hip lying flexed and externally rotated 
Pain at end range of hip movements 
Usually systemically well
22
Q

How is reactive synovitis diagnosed?

A

Kochers critera

Ultrasound +/- aspiration

23
Q

What is included in Kochers critera?

A

Fever of 38.5 or above
Refusal to weight bear
CRP over 2.0
Serum WBC >12,000

24
Q

How is reactive synovitis treated?

A

Self-limiting conditon
Analgesia/ NSAIDs
Repeat review

25
Q

What is septic arthrtis?

A

Intra-articular infection of the hip joint

26
Q

Why is septic arthrtis a surgical emergency?

A

High bacterial load that causes sepsis
Destruction of the joint to proteolytic enzymes - pus is chondrocytic
Potential for osteonecrosis of the hip

27
Q

How will septic arthritis present?

A 
Short duration of symptoms 
Ubable to weight bear 
Hip lying flexed/ externally rotated 
Severe hip pain on passive movement 
Usually pyrexial
28
Q

What is kochers critera?

A

To distinguish between RS and SA

If all are positive then it is SA, if 0/1/2 then likely to be RS

29
Q

What is the pathophysiology of septic arthritis?

A

Direct inoculation from trauma or surgery
Haematogenous seeding
Extension from osteomyelitic bone

30
Q

What is the most likely organism to cause SA?

A

Staph aureus

31
Q

How is SA diganosed?

A 
Blood tests - FBC, CRP
Blood cultures
Kochers critera
Radiographs 
Ultrasound +/- aspiration in theatre
32
Q

How is SA treated?

A

Open surgical washout with samples prior to antibiotis

Usually anterior approach

33
Q

What is perthes disease?

A

Idiopathic AVN of the hip

34
Q

What are risk factors for developing perthes disease?

A

Postive family history
Low birth weight
Second hand smoke

35
Q

What gender is predisposed to perthes?

A

Males

36
Q

What is the pathophysiology of perthes?

A

Osteonecrosis secondary to disruption of blood supply to femoral head followed by revascularisation with subsequent resorption and later collapse
Creeping substitution provides pathway for remodelling after collapse

37
Q

What are the different stages of perthes?

A

Initial
Fragmentation
Reossification
Remodelling

38
Q

What is a good prognostic factor for perthes?

A

Younger the age the better the prognosis due to the fact the bone still has alot of growth to do

39
Q

What is the presentation of perthes?

A 
Gradual onset of painless limp
Sometimes intermittent groin pain 
Hip stiffness (internal rotation and abduction)
40
Q

How is perthes disease diagnosed?

A

Radiographs

MRI

41
Q

How is perthes disease diagnosed?

A

Restrict weight bearing
Maintain ROM with physiotherapy
Surgery in young patients with severe diseae and deformity

42
Q

What is SUFE?

A

A condition affecting the proximal femoral physis that leads to slippage of the metaphysis relative to the epiphysis

43
Q

What are the risk factors for SUFE?

A

Males
Obesity
Endocrine disoders: GH deficiency, panhypopitutarism, hypothyrodism

44
Q

How will SUFE present?

A

Variable length of symptom development
Groin pain
Antalgic limp
Obligatory external rotation of hip flexion

45
Q

How is SUFE diagnosed?

A

Radiographs

MRI

46
Q

How is SUFE treated?

A

Surgery; percutaneous pinning of the hip
