Technique and Interpretation of Arthrogram for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.

Unlabelled: Closed reduction, arthrography and hip spica application is the treatment of choice for DDH between 6 and 18 months. There is a lot of controversy about what exactly constitutes an "acceptable" closed reduction and arthrogram and the arthrography findings are often difficult to interpret. In this video, the authors describe the technique to perform the arthrogram as well as the interpretation of the same.

Preparation of cement spacer in treatment of segmental bone defects in children by the induced membrane technique: A technical note.

The Masquelet Induced Membrane Technique (IMT) is one of the tools in the surgeon's armamentarium for the management of segmental bone defects. The first stage of the IMT includes the insertion of a cement spacer, which is typically fashioned by the free-hand technique. We propose a novel technique for preparation of the cement spacer using a split syringe barrel as a mould.

Since the fractured fragment is not visible on plain radiographs, these injuries are often missed on initial presentation resulting in delayed diagnosis and poor outcomes. To our knowledge, only eight such cases have been reported in the past.
