J BONE JOINT SURG BR , 2005, vol. 87, n° 6, p. 863-866 Doc n°: 120734 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : DE361 - TRAITEMENT CHIRURGICAL / HANCHE We describe a technique of 'cross-hip distraction' to reduce a dislocated hip with subsequent reconstruction of the joint for septic arthritis with extensive femoral osteomyelitis. A 27-year-old woman presented with a dislocated, collapsed femoral head and chronic osteomyelitis of the femur. Examination revealed a leg-length discrepancy of 7 cm and an irritable hip. A staged technique was used with primary clearance of osteomyelitis and secondary reconstruction of the hip. A cross-hip monolateral external fixator was used to establish normal anatomy followed by an arthroplasty. Langue : ANGLAIS |
