  2. Hip dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_dysplasia

    Hip resurfacing is another option for correcting hip dysplasia in adults. It is a type of hip replacement that preserves more bone, and may work for younger hip dysplasia patients. [56] Osteotomies are either used in conjunction with arthroplasty or by themselves to correct misalignment. [citation needed]

  3. Femoroacetabular impingement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoroacetabular_impingement

    Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition involving one or more anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint, which is a ball and socket joint. [1] It is a common cause of hip pain and discomfort in young and middle-aged adults. [2]

  4. Proximal femoral focal deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_femoral_focal...

    There are typically four classes (or types) of PFFD, ranging from class A to class D, as detailed by Aitken. [4] [5]Type A — The femur bone is slightly shorter on the proximal end (near the hip), and the femoral head (the ball of the thigh bone that goes into the hip socket) may not be solid enough to be seen on X-rays at birth, but later hardens (ossifies).

  5. Hip dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_dislocation

    Hip dysplasia is a congenital condition in which the hip is deformed in a way that decreases the congruency between the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis. [22] Bony congruence is a stabilizing factor to the hip joint, so the decrease in this conferred by hip dysplasia makes one more susceptible to dislocation.

  6. Hereditary multiple exostoses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_multiple_exostoses

    [1] [5] Intra-articular osteochondromas of the hip can induce limitation of range of motion, joint pain and acetabular dysplasia. [2] Likewise joint pain at other locations and neurovascular compression can occur. Furthermore, functional disability in regard to activities of daily living can be a presenting feature.

  7. X-ray of hip dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_of_hip_dysplasia

    X-rays of hip dysplasia are one of the two main methods of medical imaging to diagnose hip dysplasia, the other one being medical ultrasonography. [1] [2] Ultrasound imaging yields better results defining the anatomy until the cartilage is ossified. When the infant is around 3 months old a clear roentgenographic image can be achieved.

  8. Arthrogryposis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrogryposis

    Often, every joint in a patient with arthrogryposis is affected; in 84% all limbs are involved, in 11% only the legs, and in 4% only the arms are involved. [4] Every joint in the body, when affected, displays typical signs and symptoms: for example, the shoulder (internal rotation); wrist (volar and ulnar); hand (fingers in fixed flexion and thumb in palm); hip (flexed, abducted and externally ...

  9. Hip spica cast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_spica_cast

    Hip spicas were formerly common in reducing femoral fractures. Spica casts are used for treating hip dysplasia (developmental dislocation of hip). [1] [2] Spica casts are typically made using a soft padded lining, which tightly wrapped around the leg and hip joint. It is then wrapped in either a fiberglass or plaster cast.
