Deformities, mainly flexion deformities, of the hip can severely interfere with mobility. In a retrospective study, undertaken in our hospital, we evaluated the role of soft tissue release of the hip in patients with hip flexion contractures. A special surgical technique was performed in 55 hips. The results show a good effect on verticalization, even if the hip joints cannot be extended actively. A subluxated or dislocated hip did not influence the final outcome. During the mean follow-up of approximately 4 years, only a slight recurrence of the former deformity was observed. Most of the patients obtained great advantage from the operation. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001216501 |
