Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) describes a broad spectrum of developmental
abnormalities of the hip joint that are traditionally diagnosed during infancy. Because the …

Objectives: Identify the epidemiology of femoral head avascular necrosis. Describe the
evaluation of femoral head avascular necrosis. Summarize the treatment options available …

Background: Capsular and pericapsular vessels are believed to contribute to acetabular and
femoral head perfusion, but, to our knowledge, there is no anatomic study to support this …

As the popularity of juxta-acetabular osteotomies in adults increases, concern arises that
such a procedure will potentially cause avascular necrosis of the acetabular fragment. In …

Symptomatic dysplasia of the hip and acetabular retroversion are possible causes of
osteoarthritis in the young adult. Surgical management with reorientation of the acetabulum …

The aim of this work was to study the arterial blood supply of the coxal bone in order to
optimize radiological embolization and to minimize the risk of postoperative osteonecrosis …

Background: Periacetabular osteotomies are technically demanding surgical procedures.
We developed a modified technique that uses a transtrochanteric approach. Our goal was to …
