  • Title: [A study of the obstacles to reduction in congenital dislocation of the hip (author's transl)].
    Author: Ando M.
    Journal: Nihon Seikeigeka Gakkai Zasshi; 1979 Dec; 53(12):1737-44. PubMed ID: 544713.
    Abstract:
    Investigation on ten patients with typical congenital dislocation of the hip generalized joint laxity indicated the changes in the antero-inferior part of the acetabulum, which are mainly adhesion and narrowing produced by the capsule pulled superoposteriorly, as the major obstacle for successful reduction. Inverted limbus, pulvinar mass and ligamentum teres may represent secondary obstacles mostly due to iatrogenic procedures. The purpose of the closed reduction is to get rid of the obstacles during the conservative treatment. The cause of the failure of conservative treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip is a misjudgement of true reduction, allowing enough cavity for the femoral head in the antero-inferior part of the joint without the presence of the capsule between the femoral head and the acetabular cartilage. To get better understanding of the true reduction, tangential view in the arthrography of the hip joint gives us more precise data about the antero-inferior part of the joint because the acetabulum faces the joint cavity laterally and anteriorly.
