Congenital anomalies Flashcards
(27 cards)
abnormal config/relationship of Femoral head and acetabulum
CDH Congenital dislocation of hip
acetabular dysplasia
spectrum of CDH with shallow acetabulum
unstable hip
spectrum of CDH dislocatable - reducible
dislocated hip
spectrum of CDH that may or may not be reducible
teratologic hip
spectrum of CDH with fixed dislocation at birth often w major anomalies
acetabular dysplasia
degree of dysplasia where head is seated in acetabulum but shallow
subluxation
degree of dysplasia where head is not well seated in acetabulum
dislocation
degree of dysplasia where head is no longer seated
snapping sign
Ortolani’s sign
what is limited in CDH
ABDUCTION OF FLEXED HIPS
hip started reduced but this test will DISLOCATE hip
Barlow test
hip started dislocated but this test will REDUCED hip
Ortolani test
difference in knee height
Galleazis sign
walks like duck
waddling gait
index finger on asis

head of greater trochanter in buttock can be felt to move upward and downward on pushing and pulling on extended thigh
telescoping test
positive trendelenburg sign

upward and outward displacement of femoral head
inc obiquity of acetabular roof
tx first age period <1year old
reduced by abduction skin traction then splint brace or cast
tx harness and cast
pavlic harness
short leg hip spica cast
second age pd 1-3y
skeletal traction
if fails, adductor tenotomy
then bilateral hip sica cast
