Use of ultrasonography in the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip by Pavlik harness

Year 2000, Volume: 34 Issue: 5, 493 - 498, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the use of ultrasonography and roentgenography in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip treated with a Pavlik harness.
Methods: Eighteen babies (14 girls, 4 boys) with sonographically diagnosed developmental dysplasia of the hip according to the method of Graf were treated with a Pavlik harness until sonographic maturation was reached. Mean duration of treatment was 3.2 months (range 2-5 months). Direct radiographies of all hips were obtained before and at the end of treatment and at follow-up examinations. Acetabular indices were assessed according to the guidelines of Tönnis.
Results: Radiographies obtained before and at the end of treatment demonstrated low-grade dysplasia in 72% (13 hips) and in 22% (4 hips) and high-grade dysplasia in 28% (5 hips) and in 11% (2 hips), respectively. Radiological follow-up examinations after an average of 13.5 months (range 11-23 months) showed mature hips in all subjects. There were no cases of avascular necrosis, early subluxation or dislocation, and no other complications associated with the treatment by the Pavlik harness.
Conclusion: We concluded that sonographic maturation of the hip (Graf type I) is adequate to discontinue the Pavlik harness treatment, enabling to avoid both undertreatment and overtreatment.

Gelişimsel kalça displazisinin Pavlik bandajıyla tedavisinin yönlendirilmesinde ultrasonografinin kullanımı

Year 2000, Volume: 34 Issue: 5, 493 - 498, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Amaç: Pavlik bandajı ile tedavi edilen gelişimsel kalça displazili hastalarda ultrasonografi ve direkt grafinin kullanımı değerlendirildi.
Çalışma planı: Graf yöntemine göre ultrasonografik olarak gelişimsel kalça displazisi saptanan 18 bebek (14 kız, 4 erkek), ultrasonografik olarak iyileşme saptanıncaya kadar Pavlik bandajı ile ortalama 3.2 ay (dağılım 2-5 ay) süreyle tedavi edildi. Kalça eklemlerinin tedaviye başlamadan önce, tedavi bitiminde ve takip muayenelerinde direkt grafileri çekildi ve Tönnis kriterlerine göre asetabuler açılar değerlendirildi.
Sonuçlar: Tedavi öncesi radyografilerde 18 kalçanın 13’ünde (%72) hafif, beşinde (%28) yüksek dereceli displazi görülürken, tedavi bitiminde kalçaların dördünde (%22) hafif, ikisinde (%11) yüksek dereceli displazi gözlendi. Ortalama 13.5. ayda (dağılım 11-23 ay) yapılan kontrol muayenesinde ise tüm kalçalar radyolojik olarak normale dönmüştü. Ultrasonografik iyileşme gözlenen (Graf tip I) kalçaların hiçbirinde takip döneminde avasküler nekroz, erken subluksasyon ve dislokasyon görülmedi.
Çıkarımlar: Ultrasonografik matürasyonun, gelişimsel kalça displazisinin Pavlik bandajıyla tedavisini sonlandırmada yeterli olacağına inanıyoruz. Böylece, hem yetersiz hem de aşırı tedaviden kaçınılmış olur.
