AI Article Synopsis
- - Hip chondrolysis is a rare but serious condition that leads to cartilage loss in the hip joint, often causing limited movement, and can be associated with other diseases such as juvenile psoriatic arthritis.
- - A case study details a 9-year-old girl who was diagnosed with hip chondrolysis linked to probable juvenile psoriatic arthritis.
- - Treatment options included avoiding weight-bearing activities and using corticosteroids, methotrexate, and adalimumab, which ultimately led to clinical improvement and some cartilage regeneration after aquatic therapy.
Article Abstract
Hip chondrolysis is observed primarily or secondary to other diseases and is a rare but yet debilitating disease, characterised by loss of cartilage of the femoral epiphysis and significant restriction of motion. We present the case of a 9-year-old female diagnosed with hip chondrolysis associated with probable juvenile psoriatic arthritis. Avoidance of weight-bearing activities and treatment with corticosteroids, methotrexate, and adalimumab followed by aquatic therapy resulted in clinical and radiographic improvement as well as partial cartilage regeneration.

Traumatic Native Hip Dislocations: An Audit at a Major Trauma Centre and Assessment of Clinical Practice at Centres Across the United Kingdom.

Trauma & Orthopaedics, University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, GBR.
Introduction: Native hip dislocations are defined as traumatic dislocations of the hip, typically high-energy and associated with polytrauma. The majority of these injuries occur following motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). Due to the inherent stability of the hip joint, a significant force is required to cause dislocation.

Study assessed outcomes following intra-articular steroid injections, joint manipulation and traction immobilization.
Methods: Retrospective (2012-2021) review of 41 cases treated for idiopathic chondrolysis of hip, assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively (minimum 2-year follow-up) using Children's Hospital Oakland Hip Evaluation Score (CHOHES), visual analogue scale (VAS) and range of motion measurements.
Comparing pinning and capital realignment procedures for severe, stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis: a systematic review.

In severe, stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis, it is unclear whether pinning (PIS) or capital realignment procedures (CRPs) are superior. Our primary aim was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following each strategy. Secondary aims were to compare rates of femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) and complications.

Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip (ICH) is a rare condition with only a few cases reported in the literature. The average age at the onset of the disease is 11 years, with females having six times higher incidence than males. We report two cases of ICH in two medically free 10-year-old females who presented with atraumatic insidious hip pain and limping.

Background: Safe surgical dislocation of the hip is a versatile approach to the hip joint with a low complication rate. Hip joint instability is a devastating complication with poor prognosis.
Methods: All hips treated surgically through the safe surgical dislocation approach were entered in a database and the complication of hip joint instability was studied prospectively from 2000 to 2021.
