Clinical manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism include neuromuscular, intestinal, and osseous symptoms with osteolytic lesions of the bone and pathological fractures. In most cases a primary adenoma of the parathyroid gland leads to an increased production of the parathormone with subsequent osteoclastic bone catabolism. Surgical treatment entails removal of the parathyroid adenoma. We present a female patient and the possible diagnostic and differential diagnostic difficulties encountered in interdisciplinary management.
In acetabular dysplasia of the hip joint accompanied by a giant acetabular bone cyst, rotational acetabular osteotomy may cause serious complications, such as bone necrosis after surgery or fracture of the fragile acetabulum during the operation. In a patient with this condition, we performed a two-stage operation: first, autogenous bone grafting supplemented with hydroxyapatite filling, then rotational acetabular osteotomy (after new bone formation had been assured). Radiographs and CT scans showed favorable fusion of the grafted bone. Some 18 months after the second operation, arthrograms showed no inflow of contrast medium from the articular cavity into the bone cyst region, although this had been observed before treatment. Thus, an effective remodeling of bony congruency was indicated in the mobile acetabulum 5 years after the second operation. This two-stage operation appears to be useful for correcting acetabular dysplasia accompanied by a giant bone cyst and to carry a reduced risk of serious complications, such as deterioration of the articular surface of the acetabulum or necrosis of the translocated acetabulum.
In 1996 the quality of the early management of 100 consecutive patients referred to the SW Thames regional pelvic and acetabular unit between 1989 and 1992 was studied. The management of these patients was assessed in four specific areas, and guidelines were laid down. It was found that in 56% of patients the early management did not meet these suggested standards, with 34% having deficiencies in more than one area. These results were presented and published. Five years later, the early management of a further 100 consecutive referrals was assessed using these same guidelines, in order to close the audit loop. The treatment of 57% of patients still did not reach the guideline standards, but the number with problems in more than one area fell to 20%. There has been improvement in the early management of pelvic and acetabular injuries. The use of external fixation in cases of severe haemorrhage increased, but frames were often poorly applied. Early communication with the specialist centre was encouraged but unfortunately there was still an unacceptable delay in referral. The frequency of delayed referral actually increased during the 5 years between study groups.
