Treatment of DDH: New born (birth to 6 months)

– Discussion:     – treatment is directed at stabilizing hip that has positive Ortolani or Barlow test or to reducing dislocated hip w/ mild to moderate adduction contracture;     – implications of positive Ortolani & Barlow’s Test are different;           – Barlow’s Test identifies unstable hip that requires dynamic … Read more

Traumatic Dislocations of the Knee

  – Discussion:     – mechanism of injury:            – distinguish between high velocity injuries verus low velocity injuries (as this reflects incidence of vascular and nerve injuries);            – w/ low-velocity knee dislocations occurance of vascular injury is about 5% and nerve injury is about … Read more
