Strategies to optimize the information provision for parents of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Aims: The aim of this study was to identify the information topics that should be addressed according to the parents of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in the diagnostic and treatment phase during the first year of life. Second, we explored parental recommendations to further optimize the information provision in DDH care.

Methods: A qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was conducted between September and December 2020.

Parental experiences of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip: a qualitative study.

Objective: The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of Dutch parents of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), treated with a Pavlik harness, during the diagnostic and treatment process in the first year of life.

Design: A qualitative study by means of semistructured interviews was conducted between September and December 2020. Qualitative content analysis was applied to code, categorise and thematise data.

[A teenager with a traumatic ankle injury].

A 13-year-old girl presented to the traumatology outpatient clinic with a painful right ankle after an inversion trauma. She was unable to bear weight on the right foot. Additional radiographic imaging and CT-scan revealed a Tillaux fracture of the right ankle.

Timing of Repeat Ultrasound Examination in Treatment of Stable Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.

Background: Worldwide a wide variation exists in duration of Pavlik harness treatment for infants up to 6 months with stable developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether shortening the time to first routine follow-up ultrasound after initiation of Pavlik harness treatment would reduce treatment duration and whether this influenced radiologic outcome at 1 year of age. Furthermore, predictors of higher acetabular index (AI) at 1 year of age were investigated.

[A boy with acute pain in his right buttock].

A 14-year-old boy presented to the emergency department with pain in his right buttock after a breakdance move. He got injured while simultaneously hyperflexing his hip and extending his knee. Upon physical examination he had tenderness over his right ischial tuberosity and an inability to perform combined hip extension and knee flexion.

Timing of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and preoperative pain are important predictors for postoperative kinesiophobia.

Purpose: Fear of movement (kinesiophobia) is a major limiting factor in the return to pre-injury sport level after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The aim of this study was to gain insight into the prevalence of kinesiophobia pre-ACLR, 3 months post-ACLR and 12 months post-ACLR. Furthermore, the preoperative predictability of kinesiophobia at 3 months post-ACLR was addressed.
