  • Title: Hinge abduction of the hip. Diagnosis and treatment.
    Author: Quain S, Catterall A.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1986 Jan; 68(1):61-4. PubMed ID: 3941142.
    Abstract:
    Hinge abduction is an abnormal movement of the hip which occurs when a femoral head, deformed as a result of avascular necrosis or Perthes' disease, fails to slide within the acetabulum. Patients with this condition present with pain and shortening and in some cases arthrodesis has been recommended. We report 27 cases in which the diagnosis had been established by arthrography. The satisfactory results of abduction-extension osteotomy of the femur in 26 hips with this condition are reported.
