Abstract

A modification of the Salter innominate osteotomy for hip dysplasia was developed. A posterior triangular area is removed from the proximal side of the osteotomy site to allow engagement of the distal iliac segment after displacement of the osteotomized bone. This leads to increased stability and prevents the medial and posterior displacement that occasionally is seen after a Salter osteotomy. Also, with this modification the added limb length seen with the Salter osteotomy is eliminated. Early experience shows that this modification has produced excellent results in patients with unilateral dysplasia and limb-length discrepancy in which the ipsilateral limb is the longer extremity.

Validation of radiographic criteria for the diagnosis of Down syndrome in stillborn infants.

We assessed the utility of radiographic findings as aids to the diagnosis of Down syndrome (DS) in stillborn infants. The iliac index may help to confirm the diagnosis of DS in stillborn infants in whom it is suspected clinically, but in whom it cannot be confirmed cytogenetically. It also can serve as a screening procedure to select stillborns in whom fluorescent in situ hybridization of fixed tissues should be completed. An iliac index of 59 degrees differentiates between control and affected stillborns with the highest accuracy, but false positives persist above 55 degrees, and false negatives are common below 64 degrees. We recommend that a conservative cutoff value of 55 degrees be used if the radiographic data serve as the principal means of diagnosing DS in stillborn infants. A cutoff value of 64 degrees may be appropriate if the radiographic data are used to screen stillborn infants for fluorescent in situ hybridization studies.

[Osteochondritis dissecans of the acetabulum].

A case of osteochondritis dissecans (OD) of the acetabulum in a 14-year-old girl is presented. The initial clinical manifestation was hip pain and restricted movements of the joint. Magnetic Resonance Imaging confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was treated conservatively, using crutches. One year after the first examination, no clinical improvements were found. X-rays of the hip showed increased sclerosis around the osteochondritis-segment, indicating incipient healing. The patient is still conservatively treated, with regular clinical examinations. The diagnosis should be remembered in the case of patients with unexplained hip-pain, and may require magnetic resonance imaging for confirmation.
