No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Closed reduction is where the thigh bone is placed into the socket without any surgical incision being made. This is more likely to be performed in a child under the age of four year. The femoral head is gently manipulated into the socket, whilst the child is under anaesthetic. Once the femoral head is in place, a hip Spica is applied and can remain in place for up to three months to maintain the hip in the correct position. This allows time for healing and for the socket and the thigh bone to mould together as a joint.

The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate risk factors of avascular necrosis (AVN) after closed treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

assessed according to Salter's classification system.
