ISCHEMIC NECROSIS AS A COMPLICATION IN DELVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA
This is an 11 months old white male patient who had congenital dislocation of right hip. This was first detected 6 weeks of age. The patient was a breech child delivered by C-section. He is the first child for this 38 year old mother. At 6 weeks of age, he was placed in a Pavlik harness but this treatment was unsuccessful. Closed reduction was performed, but the hip redislocated. He was kept in an Ilfield brace for a short time and then had open reduction followed by 3 months in a spica cast. Following removal of the cast he redislocated again, and at that time the patient was referred to this Institute.

SUGIOKA OSTEOTOMY
K.B.. 12-year-old boy. B.W. 63 kg(139 Ib.) . Perthes disease. He had right hip pain and limping for seven weeks. When he was first seen at University Hospital of Niigata, the right femoral head was deformed already and collapsed slightly on X-ray. The lateral part of the femoral head showed an impingement lesion. Because good sphericity of the posterior part of the femoral head was still preserved, Sugioka's rotational osteotomy was advised.

DEVELOPMENTAL COXA VARA
* also known as cervical or infantile coxa vara * represents coxa vara not present at birth but rather developing in early childhood * coxa vara is defined as any decrease in the femoral neck-shaft angle less than 120 - 135 degrees

SCREENING PROTOCOL FOR DETECTION OF ISCHAEMIC DISEASE OF THE GROWING HIP AND PREVENTION OF LEGG-CALVÉ-PERTHES DISEASE. Nuno Craveiro Lopes, M.D., Almada-PORTUGAL LCPD is perhaps a multifactorial disease, but what is sure today is that you need two or more ischaemic episodes, occurring within some months to provoke the illness. Those episodes are symptomatic: There is pain and signs one can detect if one is aware of. We call that stage before the onset of LCPD, Ischaemic Disease of the Growing Hip (IDGH).
