Hip stiffness after congenital dislocation of the hip

Abstract

78 patients with CDH who were treated surgically between 1988 and 1994 have been evaluated. Results of 26 of them (38 hips) with a follow up period of more than 1 year and who had come their follow-ups regularly have been reviewed. Mean follow up period was three years. In the age group 1-5 there was 27 hips and the results were as follows: 11 excellent, 12 good and 4 fair. There was 4 excellent, 1 good, 3 fair and 3 poor results in 11 hips belonging to patients who were older than 6 years. In the latter age group all hips with bad results had hip stiffness. Avascular necrosis percentage was %33 in the younger age group and 45% in the older. In 6 of 34 hips which were treated with open reduction there was hip stiffness. We treated 4 of these 6 hips with manipulation under general anesthesia and in none of them a good result was obtained. Less than half the normal range of motion of the hip after surgical treatment can be termed as "hip stiffness". Hip stiffness is a demanding problem in CDH surgery and is difficult to manage once it has developed. All effort must be directed to prevention of hip stiffness. Unfortunately, one cannot achieve satisfactory results in treatment of hip stiffness by methods such as delayed rehabilitation, manipulation under general anesthesia or surgical release. In order to prevent hip stiffness a stable reduction, a short period of stay in cast and early rehabilitation following the cast removal is mandatory. In those hips treated by radical reduction, manipulation under general anesthesia must always be employed immediately after removal of the cast.
