CASE REPORT A male, three-year-old patient presented pain and edema in his right knee for three days. Along the previous two months the patient presented abnormality in gait, more significantly when running. [rb.org.br]

SCFE will often present with knee pain, thigh pain, groin pain, or hip pain. SCFE should be considered when pain in one of these areas is present. [hawaii.edu]

Fibrous dysplasia is found predominantly in children and young adults, with ~75% of patients presenting before the age of 30 years (highest incidence between 3 and 15 years). In polyostotic form, patients usually present by 10 years old. [radiopaedia.org]

Case 132 Gout Gout is often a difficult diagnosis as it can present in so many ways. [hss.edu]

• Respiratory Disorders

  Tap into the fresh perspectives of new editors who provide extensive updates throughout, particularly on genetic and respiratory disorders. [books.google.com]

• Coxa Vara

  The coxa vara deformity was corrected satisfactorily, and the femoral head was covered completely by the acetabulum. [healio.com]

  The proximal femur shows features of congenital coxa vara i.e., a Fairbank's triangle which is not seen in rickets. [orthopaedicsone.com]

  Failure of ossification of midline junction of bones Treatment Little if any functional defect Coxa vara if present may require osteotomy Pyknodysostosis Inheritance Autosomal recessive Clinically Short stature Skull dysplasia with failed closure of sutures [flinders.edu.au]

  Epiphyseal fragmentation is evident by 10 years of age. [24] Increased fragmentation of the capital epiphysis is associated with an early onset of osteoarthritis. [25] Coxa vara may be seen in some patients. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Proximal femoral osteotomy Osteotomy of the proximal femur is a most useful procedure in those children who have an associated coxa vara. [oandplibrary.org]

Newman The imaging workup of the patient with hip pain should begin with plain or routine radiographs of the pelvis and hips. [arthritisresearch.us]

Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]

The staged nature of treatments requires ongoing monitoring and care to determine optimal timing for each phase and determine if treatments are working as planned. [chop.edu]

Management There is no consensus for the optimum treatment. The aim of treatment is to maintain the sphericity of the femoral head and the congruency of the femur-acetabulum relationship to prevent secondary degenerative arthritis. [patient.info]

As for grade III hips, no satisfactory outcomes of surgical treatment have been reported. [healio.com]

Gloomy prognosis [ Back to the Top ] Metaphyseal Dysplasias (hyperdysplasias) 1. [flinders.edu.au]

A flat-topped incongruent head has the worst prognosis. It can rule out hinge abduction where the enlarged femoral head impinges on the acetabular rim. Hip aspiration if a septic joint is suspected. [patient.info]

Because of its evolution and good prognosis, treatment has not been determined necessary for these patients. X-ray control is recommended to assess the resolution of the pathology. [colombiamedica.univalle.edu.co]

Treatment and prognosis Usually, no treatment is required as the bone lesions usually do not progress beyond puberty. If a mass effect is severe, then surgical decompression may be considered. [radiopaedia.org]

Osteomyelitis is treated with i.v. antibiotics and has a good prognosis if detected promptly. Brodie's abscess A subtype of osteomyelitis which is typically seen in children is a Brodie's abscess. [radiologyassistant.nl]

The exact etiology of MED remains unclear. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Action of head against acetabulum INDUCES spherical ‘ball’ in spherical ‘socket’ Neonate pelvis mostly cartilage; fetal hip flexion → limited XR landmarks, measurements ETIOLOGIES: Some genetic/ethnic influence/tendency (Native American, Lapp, etc.) [teamrads.com]

Major etiologic agents include Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic strep). In neonates, group B streptococcus may be causative. [hawaii.edu]

Etiology: The genetic basis for this disorder is now reasonably well understood. MED is a heterogeneous disorder. [posna.org]

Epidemiology Usually seen in a 4- to 8-year-old boy with delayed skeletal maturity. Approximately 1 in 1,200 children aged under 15 years. Male to female ratio: 4-5:1. [ 2 ] Rare in non-Caucasians. [patient.info]

Epidemiology: Clinical Findings: Patients typically present later in childhood with joint pain in the lower extremities, decreased range of motion, gait disturbance, or angular deformities of the knees, such as genu varum or valgum. [posna.org]

Epidemiologically, it has been determined that this condition involves boys in greater proportion than girls in a ratio of 5:1 and in those under 5 years of age 1, 4. [colombiamedica.univalle.edu.co]

Pathophysiology delay of epiphyseal endochondral ossification lack of osseous support yields secondary articular cartilage deformity most commonly affects proximal femur and proximal humerus Genetics autosomal dominant is most common mutation in COMP [orthobullets.com]

Pathophysiology. The blood supply of the femoral head changes with time and growth. Initially the main source of nutrition is supplied directly by nutrient vessels within the femoral head. [hawaii.edu]

Pathophysiology Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and matrilin-3 (MATN3) are thought to bridge extracellular matrix proteins. Collagen IX is important for the adhesive properties of cartilage. [emedicine.medscape.com]

MR is extremely sensitive in the detection of pathophysiologic changes associated with stress injuries. [arthritisresearch.us]

It prevents excessive abduction and extension. Ischiofemoral: Located posteriorly. It originates from the ischium of the pelvis and attaches to the greater trochanter of the femur. It prevents excessive extension of the femur at the hip joint. 9. [slideshare.net]

In the severest cases, with cerebral defects, surgery must usually be limited to the management of hip adduction deformities by adductor release to allow easier nursing and to try to prevent dislocation. [boneandspine.com]
