Aim

Shelf acetabuloplasty is part of the armamentarium for the treatment of Legg-Perthes-Calve disease. Surgeons have used it to increase the anterolateral cover of the deformed head in advanced stages of the disease. However, others, including the senior author, advocate its use for containment of the diseased femoral head earlier in the disease, for both the prevention of further femoral head extrusion and as an aid in the remodelling process. The current study presents the results of this procedure performed from August 1999 to February 2010.

Method

Full sets of x-rays were available for 44 patients (45 hips). Three other bilateral cases were treated with a unilateral shelf.

Aim

We evaluated the outcome of conservative versus surgical treatment in lateral humeral condyle fractures in children. The management in some of these fractures remains controversial, ultimately relying upon the individual practitioner.

Methods

We identified 73 children who sustained such fractures, with varying degrees of displacement, during the period between April 2006 and October 2011.

Aim

This study presents the early results of a novel procedure, both in timing and surgical technique, aimed to treat those cases of congenital hip dysplasia that present late or fail conservative treatment.

Methods

48 patients and 55 hips treated over the period from December 2004 to February 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. All were treated with adductor and psoas tenotomy, open reduction, capsulorrhaphy and acetabuloplasty by the senior author.
