  • Title: [Traumatic hip injuries in the growth stage].
    Author: von Laer L.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1990; 128(4):415-7. PubMed ID: 2147323.
    Abstract:
    Injuries to the hip joint during growth are rare, but can nevertheless be problematic. Many of the complications described in the literature can be avoided by immediate, low-stress, but adequate therapy. With such an approach, however, fateful complications such as head necrosis cannot be avoided with absolute certainty. Therefore, management of such injuries must include correct enlightenment of the patient's parents and systematic follow-up of the patient, in order to identify complications which might have a negative influence on the prognosis and to treat them at an early stage.
