  • Title: Pediatric Hip and Pelvis.
    Author: Parcells BW.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 2020 Feb; 67(1):139-152. PubMed ID: 31779829.
    Abstract:
    The most common pediatric orthopedic conditions of the hip and pelvis involve abnormal architecture of the joint leading to pain and dysfunction. Developmental dysplasia of the hip and femoroacetabular impingement are 2 common and distinct forms of structural pathology in the pediatric hip. The authors also discuss 2 of the more common, and often questioned, pediatric hip disorders-slipped capital femoral epiphysis and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. Future investigations are aimed at identifying risk factors to provide pediatric orthopedists tools to risk stratify their patients and understand when conservative approaches such as close observation versus surgical interventions are more appropriate.
