Soft-tissue release of the hips in children with juvenile chronic arthritis

J BONE JOINT SURG BR , 1986, vol. 68, n° 3, p. 404-408 Doc n°: 26382 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DE3 - HANCHE In juvenile chronic arthritis the hips are commonly affected and this becomes the most important reason for losing independence and mobility - the joint develops a painful flexion contracture with marked loss of movement. Soft-tissue release operations consisting of psoas and abductor tenotomies have proved a safe and effective method of relieving pain and improving function. We report 89 such operations in 52 patients. More extensive soft-tissue release operations or synovectomy of the hips offer no advantage and recovery is often more painful and prolonged.
