THE ROLE OF ARTHOGRAPHY GUIDED CLOSED REDUCTION
IN REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF
AVN IN CDH
Published in J Ped. Orthop B 2005
INTRODUCTION
• CDH is common in S.A.• AVN is a know major complication of CDH
treatment that should be avoided.• Aim of the study:
– Compare incidence of AVN in C.R:• Without arthrography,
• With Arthrography guidance.
– Relation of type of limbus with incidence of AVN.

MATERIALS & METHODS
• A prospective study.
• Riyadh College of Medicine & KKUH.
• Jan 1992 – 1996.
• N = 85 patients.
• No prior treatment received.
• All closed reduction & hip spica.
MATERIALS & METHODS
• Two groups (closed reduction):– Group 1 arthrography guided.– Group 2 no arthrogram.
• Percutaneous adductor tenotomy done when needed.
• Follow up ≥ 5y.
MATERIALS & METHODS
• F/U:– 6 wks post C.R:
• If stable in extension broom-stick cast.• Otherwise another spica.
– Every 6 wks till hips fully stable:• Good acetabular cover,• Or till covered operatively.
• AVN Kalamchi & MacEwen.
MATERIALS & METHODS
• Chi square test (compare the incidence of AVN in both groups).
• Fisher’s exact test (compare between different types of limbus at time of reduction in relation to development of AVN).
MATERIALS & METHODSAccepted criteria for reduction
Group 1
• Concentric reduction (of the cartilaginous head).
• < 6 mm lateralization (irrespective of the limbus position).
MATERIALS & METHODSAccepted criteria for reduction
Group 2
• Clinical femoral head felt stable with C.R.
• XR ossific nucleus:• Present opposite triradiate c. & medial to Perkin’s line.
• Not present normal Von Rosen line & intact Shenton’s line.
RESULTS
• 85 patients.
• 124 hips.
• Female 59 (69%).
• Male 26 (31%).
• Age 3 -14m (average 7.3)
RESULTS
• Percutaneous adductor tenotomy done in:– 69 hips of 124 .– Group 1 = 40/48 (50.6%).– Group 2 = 29/37 (64.4%).

DISCUSSION
• Severin’s “Docking Theory”: “Soft tissue obstructing concentric reduction would
yield in time with continuous pressure from the head if the hip is maintained in an appropriate position”.
DISCUSSION
• Leveuf’s:
Docking without damage to the femoral head can occur if the obstacles to concentric reduction were minimal.
(e.g. everted limbus, minimal lateralization, & mild hour glass constriction).

DISCUSSION
• Chuinard: Femoral head cannot be relied upon to
compress all soft tissue obstacles and seat itself normally without adverse effects on the femoral head especially in infants with a mostly cartilaginous femoral heads.

DISCUSSION
• Attempting C.R without arthrogram depends on:– Feeling good reduction,– Impression on position of the ossific nucleus:
• Not present !• If present it may be eccentric.
– Impression on amount of lateralization:• Other hip normal, can compare.• Other hip DDH !
DISCUSSION
Eccentric nucleus
DISCUSSION
• Still NO treatment for AVN.
• Its not justifiable to subject DDH patients to AVN.
Most of the time the outcome of no treatment is better than the outcome of treatment with severe form of
AVN.
CONCLUSION
C.R. without arthrography guidance is unsafe
due to high incidence of AVN.
CONCLUSION
Arthrography guided C.R.
less incidence of AVN.
( 7.6% c.f. 28.9% )
CONCLUSION
Inverted type of limbus higher incidence of AVN c.f. normal or everted limbus.
( 60% c.f. 4.1% )
