Background: We aimed to analyze if the false acetabulum is a good indicator for determining femoral shortening.
Methods: We retrospectively included 102 patients with unilateral Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty from April 2008 to May 2019. Based on the presence of false acetabulum, the 102 hips were further classified Crowe IVA group and Crowe IVB group. Radiographic measurement included the height of greater trochanter (HGT) preoperatively and postoperatively, which reflected the distalisation of greater trochanter (DGT). Harris hip score (HHS), limb length discrepancy (LLD), and complications were collected as clinical evaluation.
Results: Sixty hips were classified into Crowe IVA group, and 42 hips were classified into Crowe IVB group. Within Crowe IVA group, the proportion of hips treated with subtrochanteric osteotomy was significantly higher than that in Crowe IVB group (97% vs. 12%) (P < 0.001). The DGT in Crowe IVA group was also greater (67 vs. 32 mm) (P < 0.001). At last follow-up, both two groups obtained excellent clinical scores. There was no significant difference in postoperative LLD between the two groups (P = 0.001). Six dislocations occurred and three patients developed femoral nerve palsy, while all recovered in a year.
Conclusion: The false acetabulum is a promising and good indicator for determining femoral shortening.

Introduction And Importance: Neglected posterior hip dislocations in adults are rare, particularly when untreated for years. In developing nations, patients often rely on traditional bone setters, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased complications. Adult hip dislocations carry a higher risk of avascular necrosis and require complex treatments.

Background: The primary aim of this study was to quantitatively analysis the acetabular morphological feature and 2D/3D coverage of the Crowe IV DDH hip, dividing into subgroups by the false acetabulum. The secondary aim was to propose a 3D bone mapping to determine acetabular bone defect analysis from the perspective of the implanted simulation.
Methods: A total of 53 Crowe IV hips (27 hips without the false acetabulum in IVa group and 26 hips in IVb group) and 40 normal hips met the inclusion criteria and were retrospectively evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the 3D anatomy related to the acetabular sourcil, which is used in calculating angles critical for diagnosing hip dysplasia through various imaging techniques.
- Researchers aimed to assess the consistency of measurements (LCEA and ACEA) taken by different observers and how those measurements relate to the anatomy being evaluated.
- Using CT scans from 20 patients undergoing hip surgeries, the study generated detailed models to better understand the distinct anatomical regions that influence these radiographic measurements.
Multifocal Nonmetastatic Radioactive Iodine Avidity on Whole Body Scan After Thyroidectomy for Thyroid Cancer.
AACE Clin Case Rep
July 2024
Department of Medicine, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
Background/objective: Non-metastatic radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake can complicate the interpretation of whole-body scan (WBS) for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) post-thyroidectomy. We present a patient with DTC whose follow-up WBS showed nonmetastatic multifocal avidity in skeletal tissue, an uncommonly reported site of RAI uptake.
Case Report: A 42-year-old woman underwent a right hemithyroidectomy, followed by completion thyroidectomy and RAI remnant ablation therapy, for a 4.
How to Best Identify Acetabular Retroversion on Radiographs: Thresholds to Guide Clinical Practice.

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Ottawa Hospital, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Acetabular retroversion is associated with impingement and instability. An adequate interpretation of acetabular version and coverage on radiographs is essential to determine the optimal treatment strategy (periacetabular osteotomy vs hip arthroscopic surgery). The crossover sign (COS) has been associated with the presence of acetabular retroversion, and the anterior wall index (AWI) and posterior wall index (PWI) assess anteroposterior acetabular coverage.
