[Sequelae of late diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip: case report and surgical technique description]
Abstract
Developmental hip dysplasia (DHD) is a common entity that affects 4 out of every 1000 live births and is a recognized cause of secondary hip osteoarthritis despite routine perinatal controls. In most patients, the early diagnosis of the pathology allows an evolution without sequelae. However, in the basis that patients diagnosed late and with multiple surgeries are patients with open physis, ossification nuclei present and previous surgeries in the approach area, the late diagnosis represents a real challenge for the orthopedist. We report below the case of a patient treated in our center since birth, who evolved with complications associated with late diagnosis and surgical interventions, describing rescue surgery performed at 12 years of age and finally highlighting the importance of routine perinatals and early diagnosis of DHD.
La displasia del desarrollo de la cadera (DDC) es una entidad frecuente que afecta a 4 de cada 1000 nacidos vivos y es una causa reconocida de artrosis de cadera secundaria a pesar de los controles perinatales de rutina. En la mayoría de los pacientes, el diagnóstico precoz de la patología permite una evolución sin secuelas. Sin embargo, el diagnóstico tardío con múltiples intervenciones representa un verdadero reto para el ortopedista, ya que se trata de pacientes con fisis abierta, nucleos de osificación presentes y cirugías previas en la zona de abordaje. Se reporta a continuación el caso de una paciente tratada en nuestro centro desde su nacimiento, que evolucionó con complicaciones asociadas al diagnóstico tardío y a las intervenciones quirúrgicas, describiendo la cirugía de salvataje realizada a los 12 años de edad y destacando finalmente la importancia de los controles perinatales de rutina y el diagnóstico precoz de la DDC.
