Hip Contracture
Permanent fixation of the hip in primary positions, with limited passive or active motion at the hip joint. Locomotion is difficult and pain is sometimes present when the hip is in motion. It may be caused by trauma, infection, or poliomyelitis. (From Current Medical Information & Technology, 5th ed)

Predicting the outcome of adductor tenotomy. (1/12)
This study reviewed 57 hips in 30 children (18 girls and 12 boys) with cerebral palsy who had undergone an adductor tenotomy alone or in combination with an anterior obturator neurectomy (23 hips). Results were evaluated by the Reimers migration percentage (MP). The hips were split into three groups: group A (12 hips) a preoperative MP of less than 20%, group B (25 hips) between 20 and 40%, and group C (20 hips) more than 40%. The mean age at the time of surgery was 6 years and 1 month (range: 2.5-13 years). The mean period of review was 6 years and 3 months (2-20 years). The results were considered as "good" when radiographs at the longest follow-up showed a decrease of > 10% of the MP, as "bad" when they showed an increase of > 10%, and as "stable" when the MPs varied less than 10%. At the latest review of group A, 11 were stable (92%) and 1 was bad. In group B, 12 were stable (48%), 7 were good (28%), and 6 were bad (24%). In group C, 7 were stable (35%), and 13 were bad (65%). The preoperative migration percentage provided to be the only predictor of outcome. Age at the time of surgery had no constant significant effect on the outcome, neither had the addition of an anterior neurectomy. (+info)Abduction contracture of the hip in children. (2/12)
Nine cases of abduction contracture of the hip in children from contracture of the gluteus maximus muscle are reported. Division of the aponeurosis glutens maximus over the greater trochanter always permitted full adduction. (+info)Transient femoral nerve palsy associated with a synovial cyst of the hip in a patient with spinal cord injury. (3/12)
We report a case of local compression-induced transient femoral nerve palsy in a 46-year-old man. He had previously undergone surgical release of the soft tissues anterior to both hip joints because of contractures following spinal injury. An MRI scan confirmed a synovial cyst originating from the left hip joint, lying adjacent to the femoral nerve. The cyst expanded on standing, causing a transient femoral nerve palsy. The symptoms resolved after excision of the cyst. (+info)Outcome of single-event multilevel surgery in untreated cerebral palsy in a developing country. (4/12)
In developed countries, children with cerebral palsy are treated from the time of diagnosis. This is usually not the case in developing countries where such patients often present at an age when it is traditionally believed that if walking has not already commenced, it is unlikely to. This study reports the outcome of the surgical treatment of 85 spastic diplegic patients at a mean of 8.5 years (5 to 12). All presented as untreated non-walkers and had achieved sitting balance by the age of five to six years. They underwent single-event multilevel surgery followed by physiotherapy and orthotic support. For outcome assessment, a modified functional walking scale was used at a mean of 3.5 years (2 to 5) post-operatively. At all levels, static joint contractures had resolved almost completely. All patients improved and became walkers, 18 (21.2%) as exercise, 39 (45.9%) as household and 28 (33%) as community walkers. This study shows that children with cerebral palsy who cannot walk and have not been treated can be helped by single-event multilevel surgery, provided that inclusion criteria are followed and a structural, supervised rehabilitation programme is in place. (+info)Bilateral hip reconstruction in severe whole-body cerebral palsy: ten-year follow-up results. (5/12)
The results of a functional, clinical and radiological study of 30 children (60 hips) with whole-body cerebral palsy were reviewed at a mean follow-up of 10.2 years (9.5 to 11). Correction of windsweep deformity of the hips was performed by bilateral simultaneous combined soft-tissue and bony surgery at a mean age of 7.7 years (3.1 to 12.2). We were able to recall 22 patients; five had died of unrelated causes and three were lost to follow-up. Evaluation involved interviews with patients/carers and clinical and radiological examination. The gross motor functional classification system was used to assess overall motor function and showed improvement in seven patients. Of the 12 patients thought to have pain pre-operatively, only one had pain post-operatively. Improved handling was reported in 18 of 22 patients (82%). Those with handling problems were attributed by the carers to growth of the patients. All patients/carers considered the procedure worthwhile. The range of hip movements improved, and the mean windsweep index improved from 50 pre-operatively to 36 at follow-up. The migration percentage and centre-edge angle were assessed on plain radiographs. Radiological containment improved, the mean migration percentage improved from 50 pre-operatively to 20 at follow-up and the mean centre-edge angle improved from -5 degrees to 29 degrees . No statistical difference was noted between the three-year and ten-year follow-up results, indicating that the improvements in clinical and radiological outcome had been maintained. (+info)Coronary artery bypass grafting in cerebral palsy with severe contractures of extremities. (6/12)
We report on a 76-year-old man suffering from cerebral palsy who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. Limitation of available bypass grafts and the approach of intra-aortic balloon pump insertion are of great concern because of his specific posture resulting from multiple articular contractures. We describe our planning to survive coronary surgery in this specific situation. (+info)Joint contracture following prolonged stay in the intensive care unit. (7/12)

(+info)'Hip contracture' is a medical condition characterized by the shortening or tightening of the muscles and soft tissues around the hip joint, leading to restricted range of motion and potentially causing difficulties with ambulation and functional activities.
A hip contracture is a condition in which the range of motion in the hip joint is limited due to tightness or shortening of the muscles, tendons, or other soft tissues surrounding the joint. This can make it difficult for the person to perform certain movements, such as flexing the hip or bringing the knee up towards the chest. Hip contractures can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, surgery, prolonged immobility, cerebral palsy, and other neurological conditions. Treatment may include physical therapy, stretching exercises, and in some cases, surgery.
'Contracture' is a medical term that refers to the abnormal, involuntary shortening or tightening of muscles, tendons, or other soft tissues, leading to restricted movement and deformity of joints.
A contracture, in a medical context, refers to the abnormal shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, which can result in limited mobility and deformity of joints. This condition can occur due to various reasons such as injury, prolonged immobilization, scarring, neurological disorders, or genetic conditions.
Contractures can cause significant impairment in daily activities and quality of life, making it difficult for individuals to perform routine tasks like dressing, bathing, or walking. Treatment options may include physical therapy, splinting, casting, medications, surgery, or a combination of these approaches, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the contracture.
Dupuytren contracture is a fibroproliferative disorder of the palmar fascia leading to progressive flexion deformity of the fingers, primarily affecting the ring and little fingers, and often associated with genetic predisposition, diabetes, alcoholism, and smoking.
Dupuytren contracture is a medical condition that affects the hand, specifically the fascia, which is a layer of connective tissue beneath the skin of the palm. In this condition, the fascia thickens and shortens, causing one or more fingers to bend towards the palm and making it difficult to straighten them. The ring finger and little finger are most commonly affected, but the middle finger and thumb can also be involved.
The exact cause of Dupuytren contracture is not known, but it is more common in men than women and tends to run in families. It is also associated with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, seizures, and alcoholism. There is no cure for Dupuytren contracture, but treatments such as surgery or needle aponeurotomy can help relieve symptoms and improve hand function.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket synovial joint, where the head of the femur (the thigh bone) articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis, allowing for a wide range of movements including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation.
The hip joint, also known as the coxal joint, is a ball-and-socket type synovial joint that connects the femur (thigh bone) to the pelvis. The "ball" is the head of the femur, while the "socket" is the acetabulum, a concave surface on the pelvic bone.
The hip joint is surrounded by a strong fibrous capsule and is reinforced by several ligaments, including the iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral ligaments. The joint allows for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation, and circumduction movements, making it one of the most mobile joints in the body.
The hip joint is also supported by various muscles, including the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, iliopsoas, and other hip flexors and extensors. These muscles provide stability and strength to the joint, allowing for weight-bearing activities such as walking, running, and jumping.
The 'hip' is a medically recognized term for the ball-and-socket joint where the femur (thigh bone) meets the pelvis, specifically at the acetabulum of the pelvis, allowing for a wide range of movements including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation.
In medical terms, the hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the rounded head of the femur (thigh bone) fits into the cup-shaped socket, also known as the acetabulum, of the pelvis. This joint allows for a wide range of movement in the lower extremities and supports the weight of the upper body during activities such as walking, running, and jumping. The hip joint is surrounded by strong ligaments, muscles, and tendons that provide stability and enable proper functioning.
Arthroplasty, replacement, hip is a surgical procedure where the damaged or diseased hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis to restore function and alleviate pain.
Hip arthroplasty, also known as hip replacement surgery, is a medical procedure where the damaged or diseased joint surfaces of the hip are removed and replaced with artificial components. These components typically include a metal or ceramic ball that replaces the head of the femur (thigh bone), and a polyethylene or ceramic socket that replaces the acetabulum (hip socket) in the pelvis.
The goal of hip arthroplasty is to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, and restore function to the hip joint. This procedure is commonly performed in patients with advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures, or other conditions that cause significant damage to the hip joint.
There are several types of hip replacement surgeries, including traditional total hip arthroplasty, partial (hemi) hip arthroplasty, and resurfacing hip arthroplasty. The choice of procedure depends on various factors, such as the patient's age, activity level, overall health, and the extent of joint damage.
After surgery, patients typically require rehabilitation to regain strength, mobility, and function in the affected hip. With proper care and follow-up, most patients can expect significant pain relief and improved quality of life following hip arthroplasty.
Osteoarthritis of the hip is a degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive loss of articular cartilage, subchondral bone alterations, formation of osteophytes and cysts, synovial inflammation, and capsular thickening, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a degenerative joint disease that affects the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of the hip joint. It is characterized by the progressive loss of cartilage, remodeling of bone, osteophyte formation (bone spurs), cysts, and mild to moderate inflammation. The degenerative process can lead to pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, and crepitus (grating or crackling sound) during movement.
In the hip joint, OA typically affects the femoral head and acetabulum. As the articular cartilage wears away, the underlying bone becomes exposed and can lead to bone-on-bone contact, which is painful. The body responds by attempting to repair the damage through remodeling of the subchondral bone and formation of osteophytes. However, these changes can further limit joint mobility and exacerbate symptoms.
Risk factors for OA of the hip include age, obesity, genetics, previous joint injury or surgery, and repetitive stress on the joint. Treatment options may include pain management (such as NSAIDs, physical therapy, and injections), lifestyle modifications (such as weight loss and exercise), and, in severe cases, surgical intervention (such as hip replacement).
A hip fracture is a break or crack in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone) near the hip joint, often caused by falls or high-impact trauma, and particularly common in older adults with osteoporosis.
A hip fracture is a medical condition referring to a break in the upper part of the femur (thigh) bone, which forms the hip joint. The majority of hip fractures occur due to falls or direct trauma to the area. They are more common in older adults, particularly those with osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them more prone to breaking. Hip fractures can significantly impact mobility and quality of life, often requiring surgical intervention and rehabilitation.
A hip prosthesis is a surgical implant that replaces all or part of the hip joint, often composed of an acetabular cup, femoral stem, and femoral head, used to restore function and alleviate pain in individuals with severe hip damage or disease, such as osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis.
A hip prosthesis, also known as a total hip replacement, is a surgical implant designed to replace the damaged or diseased components of the human hip joint. The procedure involves replacing the femoral head (the ball at the top of the thigh bone) and the acetabulum (the socket in the pelvis) with artificial parts, typically made from materials such as metal, ceramic, or plastic.
The goal of a hip prosthesis is to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, and restore function, allowing patients to return to their normal activities and enjoy an improved quality of life. The procedure is most commonly performed in individuals with advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other degenerative conditions that have caused significant damage to the hip joint.
There are several different types of hip prostheses available, each with its own unique design and set of benefits and risks. The choice of prosthesis will depend on a variety of factors, including the patient's age, activity level, overall health, and specific medical needs. In general, however, all hip prostheses are designed to provide a durable, long-lasting solution for patients suffering from debilitating joint pain and stiffness.
Congenital hip dislocation is a rare birth defect where the head of the femur is not properly situated in the acetabulum of the pelvis, leading to hip instability or displacement, often associated with genetic factors and intrauterine positioning.
Congenital hip dislocation, also known as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), is a condition where the hip joint fails to develop normally in utero or during early infancy. In a healthy hip, the head of the femur (thigh bone) fits snugly into the acetabulum (hip socket). However, in congenital hip dislocation, the femoral head is not held firmly in place within the acetabulum due to abnormal development or laxity of the ligaments that support the joint.
There are two types of congenital hip dislocations:
1. Teratologic dislocation: This type is present at birth and occurs due to abnormalities in the development of the hip joint during fetal growth. The femoral head may be completely outside the acetabulum or partially dislocated.
2. Developmental dysplasia: This type develops after birth, often within the first few months of life, as a result of ligamentous laxity and shallow acetabulum. In some cases, it can progress to a complete hip dislocation if left untreated.
Risk factors for congenital hip dislocation include family history, breech presentation during delivery, and female gender. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications such as pain, limited mobility, and osteoarthritis. Treatment options may include bracing, closed reduction, or surgical intervention, depending on the severity and age of the child at diagnosis.
'Ischemic contracture' is a condition characterized by the permanent shortening and hardening of muscles or tendons, often following an interruption in blood supply due to vascular compromise or injury.
Ischemic contracture is not a widely recognized medical term, but it seems to be used in the context of pathological conditions that result from reduced blood flow (ischemia) to muscles or other tissues, leading to irreversible shortening and hardening of the affected muscle fibers. This process can cause restricted mobility and deformity in the affected area.
A more commonly used term is "Volkmann's contracture," which refers to a specific type of ischemic contracture that occurs in the forearm as a result of compartment syndrome. Compartment syndrome is a serious condition characterized by increased pressure within a confined space (compartment) in the body, typically in the arm or leg, leading to insufficient blood flow and oxygen supply to the muscles and nerves within that space. If left untreated, it can cause muscle and nerve damage, resulting in contracture and loss of function.
In summary, ischemic contracture is a less specific term for a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to muscles or other tissues, leading to irreversible shortening and hardening of the affected fibers. Volkmann's contracture is a more commonly used term that refers to a specific type of ischemic contracture in the forearm caused by compartment syndrome.
A hip dislocation is a traumatic orthopedic injury characterized by the femoral head's displacement from its normal position in the acetabulum, often resulting from high-energy trauma or congenital conditions like developmental dysplasia of the hip.
A hip dislocation is a medical emergency that occurs when the head of the femur (thighbone) slips out of its socket in the pelvis. This can happen due to high-energy trauma, such as a car accident or a severe fall. Hip dislocations can also occur in people with certain health conditions that make their hips more prone to displacement, such as developmental dysplasia of the hip.
There are two main types of hip dislocations: posterior and anterior. In a posterior dislocation, the femur head moves out of the back of the socket, which is the most common type. In an anterior dislocation, the femur head moves out of the front of the socket. Both types of hip dislocations can cause severe pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected leg.
Immediate medical attention is necessary for a hip dislocation to realign the bones and prevent further damage. Treatment typically involves sedation or anesthesia to relax the muscles around the joint, followed by a closed reduction procedure to gently guide the femur head back into the socket. In some cases, surgery may be required to repair any associated injuries, such as fractures or damaged ligaments. After treatment, physical therapy and rehabilitation are usually necessary to restore strength, mobility, and function to the affected hip joint.
