[Clinical, radiological and personal condition of patients over 18 year of age with congenital hip dislocation treated conservatively].

The paper presents the clinical, radiological and personal condition of 121 patients (162 hip joints) age 18 to 32 years (mean age 24 years) treated during childhood because of congenital hip dislocation. In 34% of the cases slight and moderate pain was reported, but no other symptoms were found during follow-up. Radiological condition was assessed as very good in 34% of the cases, good in 48%, satisfactory in 6% and unsatisfactory in 5%. Structural changes in spongy bone, which may be early signs of degenerative disease were found in 3 hips. These changes were visible on X-ray films as a sign of increased density in the upper rim of the acetabulum. The assessed patients lead a normal life, work, often doing a job that is inappropriate for people who should take special care of their hip joints.

[Centering angles of the femoral head and neck in the dysplastic hip].

Centering angle of the femoral head determining relation of the head and acetabulum depending on the epiphyseal plane and acetabular roof coverage of the head is described. Centering angles of the neck indicating cranial or lateral dislocation of the proximal femur in relation to apparent shaft-neck angle and anteversion angle are also described. The parameters proved useful in grading of the dysplastic hip.

[Treatment for congenital dislocation of the hip at the orthopedic department of the Institute of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation in Poznan from 1946 to 1991].

During forty-five years (1946-1991) over 6000 children were treated conservatively and over 6000 surgical procedures for congenital dislocation of the hip were carried out at Orthopedic Department of Institute of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation in Poznań. Modalities of treatment, types and numbers of operations are presented.

[About the use of gonad shielding during the taking of hip joint x-rays].

X-rays of hip joints taken without gonadal shield can be found both in the literature and scientific presentations. The shield reduces irradiation of the ovaries 30 times. The shape and the size of the shield has been offered. Organisational measures to use gonadal shields have been suggested.

[What determines treatment results of the Frejka pillow treatment for congenital hip dislocation?].

The results of treatment of 1008 hips in 779 children were analyzed and their dependence on objective factors established. The major influence is attributed to the initial displacement of the femoral head; the greater it is the worse is the result. The age at the onset of treatment influences results only indirectly with displacement increasing in time. No other factor as sex, side involved (left, right or both), or family history seems to play a role.

[Avascular necrosis of the hip in radiologic images during treatment using the Freyka pillow for congenital hip dislocation].

Radiological picture of 823 hips in 636 children treated with the use of Freyka pillow between 1972 and 1976 was assessed. Avascular necrosis of the proximal end of the femur was found in 113 cases. The older the child was at the beginning of treatment the highest were the chances for developing avascular necrosis, but more serious changes were found in younger children. In the hips with greater initial dislocation changes were more frequent. A comparison between hips treated with Freyka pillow and those treated with different methods as to frequency of avascular necrosis was difficult due to the lack of uniformity in criteria for both diagnosis and assessment of the results.
