[Measurement of lower extremity length using computed tomography].

A new method for lower extremities length measurement in patients destined for surgical legalization is presented. It is based on a scan in investigational CT. Reference points are marked and the distance between them is calculated. The record is inclusive of synthetic, diminutive anterior-posterior image of the extremity along with the measurement. Since September 1990 to December 1993, 34 patient underwent this procedure. The advantage is sensitivity better than 1 mm, flexibility in choosing reference points, good reproducibility and little exposure to the radiation. The result is more precise and trustworthy then obtained with other radiological or clinical methods.

[Z-plasty in treatment of snapping hip].

The study deals with clinical assessment of results of surgical treatment of 13 snapping hips. Bringnall and Stainsby procedure has been employed; the surgical technique has been described. The mean age at the operation was 19 years, mean follow-up was 21 months. In 11 cases (84.6%) the symptoms abated completely. The results justify conclusion, that Z-plasty with transposition of created flaps should be recommended as a mode of surgical treatment for snapping hip.

[Radiological evaluation of the hip joint after osteotomy of the innominate by the Salter method].

An evaluation of the treatment results of Salter osteotomy in 21 patients aged 3.7 years with unilateral congenital subluxation of the hip joint was made. After one-year-follow-up, the treatment result was excellent in all the cases. An analysis of the X-ray pictures revealed that the peripheral fragment of the osteotomized bone was displaced 4 mm laterally, acetabular roof inclination (acetabular index) decreased about 4 mm on the average. In consequence, the length of the acetabular roof increased about 11 mm. The authors think that Salter osteotomy in children aged over 3 years is recommended if the acetabular roof inclination angle/does not exceed 45 degrees; over this value and especially when the roof is short, Dega transiliac osteotomy should be performed.
