Enhanced knowledge of the acetabulum is of paramount importance in the diagnostic, planning, and execution stages of procedures and treatments targeting the hip joint. The convoluted and highly variable morphology of the structures comprising the bony pelvis make ascertaining measures of the acetabulum challenging. Furthermore, current methods for determining acetabular orientation assume symmetry between the separate halves of the pelvis by utilizing a coordinate system based on bilateral landmarks. The purpose of this study was to determine the three-dimensional orientation of the entire acetabulum. For this research, an improved programmatic method was developed for determining acetabular orientation using three-dimensional data. Accurate measures of commonly used acetabular orientation were ascertained from a large population of normal subjects. In addition, unilateral-based measures were performed using a new “hemi-pelvis coordinate system”. Significant differences between genders were observed in both the overall orientation of the acetabulum and the structural arrangement of the innominate bone.

The thesis deals with connections between non-ideal development of the hip joint and origin of idiopathic scoliosis. The thesis warn that asymmetry in neuromotor ontogenesis is a risk factor for development of scoliosis. There is also summary of abnormalities in hip joints which are connected with idiopatic scoliosis. In experimental part of the work it has been confirmed that patient with idiopathic scoliosis have leftright asymmetry of the range of movement in hip joints. This asymmetries are discussed in the context of both the etiopathogenezis and the effect of spinal deformity. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

O objetivo do estudo foi correlacionar a presença de alterações radiográficas em quadris de pacientes portadores de dor no quadril a um grupo de pacientes sem dor no quadril. Foram avaliados 122 pacientes com dor no quadril, e 100 pacientes sem dor no quadril. Todos com idade entre 20 e 50 anos. Os pacientes foram submetidos a exames radiográficos, nas incidências AP de pelve ortostático, falso perfil de Lequesne, Dunn, Dunn 45° e Ducroquet. Os parâmetros avaliados foram inclinação e versão acetabular, ângulo CE de Wiberg, espaço articular superolateral, ângulo , ângulo de Lequesne, ângulo VCA, diferença entre o raio da cabeça e do colo femorais (off set), esfericidade da cabeça femoral e a presença de ressalto na transição da cabeça com o colo femoral. Concluiu-se que as melhores incidências para o diagnóstico de impacto femoroacetabular são AP de pelve ortostático, Dunn 45° e Ducroquet, e que as seguintes alterações estão correlacionadas com dor nos quadris: off set diminuído, ângulo aumentado, ângulo de Lequesne aumentado, ângulo CE de Wiberg diminuído, espaço articular diminuído e presença de ressalto na transição cabeça-colo femoral / This study aimed to compare two groups of patients, with and with out hip pain, and correlate them with the existence of radiograph alterations. Weve studied 122 patients with hip pain and 100 asymptomatic; the ages were between 20 to 50 years old in both groups. All patients were roentnographicaly studied in anteroposterior pelvis in orthostatic position, Lequesne false profile, Dunns, Dunns 45° and Ducroquets view. The radiograph parameters analized were the acetabular inclination and vertion, Wiberg CE angle, Lequesne VCA angle, Lequesnes antevertion angle (), angle, superior and lateral joint space, femoral off set, nonspherical of the femoral head and the presence of a bump on the head-neck transition. We conclude that the best incidences to diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement are AP pelvis orthostatic, Dunn 45° and Ducroquet. The following alterations are correlate with hip pain: lower off set, higher angle, higher Lequesne angle, lower CE angle of Wiberg, lower articular space and bump in the femoral head-neck transition

Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a congenital condition of the musculoskeletar system which occurs during childhood. Incidents of congenital hip dysplasia are diagnosed in approximately 3 % of newborns. This defect is 5 times more prevalent in girls than in boys. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the congenital defect itself, the use of orthopedic aids and the education of parents, as well as children's tolerance towards orthopedic appliances. Two goals were set for this thesis: to determine mothers' awareness of congenital hip dysplasia and to map the importance of educating medical staff in this field of care. The empirical part of this thesis was devised through quantitative research carried out using semi-closed questionnaire techniques. The research sample was mothers of children diagnosed with hip dysplasia. The results showed that during their first pregnancies, in most cases, women are not aware of hip dysplasia; more awareness was reported in mothers who underwent orthopedic examinations with their first children. The highest awareness was shown in mothers who were diagnosed with hip dysplasia themselves. The results further indicate that education in the field of the care and handling of children with hip dysplasia is vital. It is necessary for general or pediatric nurses to educate parents, mainly concerning proper hygiene of their children. The results of this thesis can be used by medical staff to broaden their general knowledge of treating hip dysplasia, and for general or pediatric nurses who deal with affected children. The theoretical background and research results may also be helpful for parents of children who have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. For parents of these patients, this diagnosis causes stressful situations for them to deal with. This thesis will explain how this condition arises, explain treatment options, and provide education on caring for children with hip dysplasia.

Klubo sąnario endoprotezavimo operacija efektyviai sumažina arba visiškai panaikina skausmus, daugeliu atveju atstato funkcinį kojos stabilumą ir atraminę funkciją, iš dalies, bet ne visiškai atstato sąnario mobilumą (Drobniewski et al., 2012). Susidėvėjęs klubo sąnarys keičiamas cementiniu, becemenčiu arba mišriu endoprotezu (Laupacis et al., 2002). Darbo objektas: tiriamųjų emocinė būklė bei klubo sąnario funkcija po klubo endoprotezavimo operacijos. Darbo tikslas: įvertinti kineziterapijos poveikį cementinio ir becemenčio endoprotezų grupių ligoniams po klubo sąnario endoprotezavimo operacijos dėl koksartrozės, ankstyvajame reabilitacijos etape. Hipotezė: manome, kad kineziterapijos taikymas ankstyvajame reabilitacijos etape po klubo endoprotezavimo operacijos turėtų labiau pagerinti klubo sąnario funkciją becemenčio nei cementinio endoprotezo grupėje. Darbo uždaviniai: 1) Įvertinti cementinio endoprotezo grupės tiriamųjų operuoto klubo sąnario funkciją bei emocinę būklę prieš ir po kineziterapijos; 2) Įvertinti becemenčio endoprotezo grupės tiriamųjų operuoto klubo sąnario funkciją bei emocinę būklę prieš ir po kineziterapijos; 3) Palyginti operuoto klubo sąnario funkciją bei emocinę būklę tarp grupių prieš ir po kineziterapijos.

Objetivo: Avaliar a amplitude de movimento (ADM) do quadril em pacientes que sofreram lesão do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA), por traumatismo direto, e compará-la a de pacientes com a lesão por entorse sem contato físico sobre o joelho. Fazer uma análise radiográfica do quadril dos indivíduos avaliados. Método: A ADM do quadril foi avaliada em 35 pacientes com lesão do LCA ocorrida por traumatismo direto (grupo com contato) e comparada a de 45 pacientes que sofreram a lesão por entorse do joelho sem contato físico (grupo sem contato). A amplitude rotacional do quadril também foi avaliada segundo os pontos de corte de 70° e 80°. Exames radiográficos do quadril foram realizados para avaliar a presença de deformidade tipo cam e tipo pincer. Resultados: A ADM do quadril foi estatisticamente superior nos pacientes do grupo com contato. Os pacientes do grupo sem contato tiveram uma amplitude rotacional do quadril de 66,1° ± 8,4° comparada a 79,4° ± 10,6° do grupo com contato (p<0,001). Dos pacientes do grupo sem contato, 77,8% e 93,3% tiveram uma amplitude de rotação do quadril menor do que 70° e 80°, respectivamente, comparada a 17,1% e 42,9% do grupo com contato (p<0,001). Não houve diferença na prevalência de deformidade tipo cam ou pincer entre os grupos. A prevalência de cam e pincer não foi maior nos pacientes com limitação da amplitude de movimento. Conclusão: Na amostra avaliada, os pacientes com lesão do LCA ocorrida por entorse do joelho sem contato físico tiveram menor amplitude de movimento do quadril do que pacientes vítimas da lesão do LCA por traumatismo direto. A presença de deformidade tipo cam ou pincer foi semelhente em ambos os grupos e não esteve relacionada a uma diminuição da amplitude de movimento do quadril. / Objective: To evaluate the range of motion (ROM) of the hip in patients who suffered contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and compare it to patients with non-contact ACL injury. To performe a hip radiographic analysis of all subjects included. Method: ROM of the hip was evaluated in 35 patients with contact ACL injury (contact group) and compared to that of 45 patients who suffered a non-contact ACL injury (non-contact group). The sum of hip rotation (IR+ER) was also assessed according to the cutoff points of 70° and 80°. Radiographic hip were performed to assess the presence of deformity cam and pincer type. Results: ROM of the hip was statistically higher in the patients with contact ACL injury. The average sum of hip rotation was 66.1° ± 8.4° in non-contact group compared to 79.4° ± 10.6° in contact group (p<0.001). Seventy-seven percent of patients in non-contact group had a sum of hip rotation less than 70° and 93% had less than 80°, repectivally, compared to 17.1% and 42.9% in the contact group (p<0.001). The prevalence of cam or pincer deformity was similar between groups. Cam or pincer deformity was not more frequent in patients with limited range of motion of the hip. Conclusion: In our study, patients with contact ACL injury had greater range of motion of the hip than patients that suffered non-contact ACL injury. The presence of deformity cam or pincer was similar in both groups and was not related to a decreased range of motion of the hip.

The present study is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with anatomy of thehip andknee joint, in the next part there is definition of endoprosthesis as well as historical development of endoprosthesis. Subsequently, different types of endoprosthesis, surgery equipment and possible complications after surgery are described. It is followed by nursing care and rehabilitation including spa treatment. The theoretic part is concluded with revision of the joint. The practical part of the master thesis has been elaborated from the qualitative survey. The survey was conducted with the respondents who underwent endoprosthesisof the knee or hip joint and with the nurses working at regular orthopaedic department or orthopaedic intensive care unit (ICU). The interviews were afterwards transcribed and elaborated by means of the technique of open coding with the method "pencil and paper". 16 categories and 48 subcategories emerged from the data processed in this manner.

This thesis is titled: Sister in care of a child with congenital dysplasia of the hip joint. The aim of this work is to map the care of a child with congenital dysplasia of the hip joint, including the historical view, and the role of the nurse in this subject. The thesis presents the disease from the very beginning in the mother's body, after its development, diagnosis to the development of the treatment to the present time. The aim of the thesis is to introduce the reader with the history of this defect of the locomotory system and provide a summary of available information. Emphasis is placed on advancing conservative treatment and on nursing care in a hospital for a child with congenital dysplasia. The work is enriched with information from a doctor - ortopedic, nursing nurse and orthopedic nurses. In terms of methodology, methods of explanation, synthesis and induction are used. These methods consist of a summary and a combination of collected primary information and are focused on the logical reconstruction of the explanation and understanding of the topic. The sources are drawn from the Medvik, PuBMed, and Ebsco web sites, which provide me with an overview of sources written in czech, english and german language. It is also drawn from the findings of the Medical Museum in Prague, where I got to the primary source from 1895. This thesis will find use for those interested in this issue, for healthcare professionals in the context of expanding knowledge and for parents born to a child with hip dysplasia.

Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2018. / Background: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a common ailment treated by chiropractors. Most chiropractors focus on the localised lumbar area of pain. Other chiropractors focus on restoring function to compensating articulations in the ‗full kinematic chain‘ by assessing and treating the lower extremity in conjunction to the low back. Patients with LBP often exhibit decreased hip-related ranges of motion that may result in future LBP, relapse and a prolonged recovery time. Studies investigating the effect of treating the kinematic chain in relation to LBP are limited and the literature, although widely taught and practiced, is largely anecdotal. Chiropractic manipulation has shown to be effective in the treatment of LBP and many lower extremity conditions. Objectives: This study set out to determine if a combination of low back and hip manipulation would result in a more beneficial outcome for the participant, suffering with CNSLBP, than low back manipulation alone in terms of objective and subjective outcomes. Method: The study was a randomised controlled clinical trial which, through purposive sampling, consisted of 50 participants with CNSLBP and hip joint dysfunction. The participants were randomly divided into two groups of 25 each [A and B]. Group A received low back manipulation alone and Group B received combined low back and hip manipulation. Subjective data was obtained through the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI) and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Objective data was obtained through the use of a Force Dial Algometer and an Inclinometer. Data collection occurred at the first, third and fifth consultations and was coded and analysed using IBM SPSS version 24.0. A p-value value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically relevant. Results: Intra-group testing showed that there was a significant difference over time, within both groups, with regards to internal rotation and external rotation of the hip, flexion of the lumbar spine, increased pain tolerance in Algometer tests, decreased NPRS values and decreased ODI scores. Within Group A, the mean scores for hip flexion reflected a more significant increase over time than those of Group B. Within Group B, the mean scores for left and right rotation of the lumbar spine reflected a more significant change over time than those of Group A. Inter-group testing showed no significantly differential treatment effect for any of the subjective and objective outcomes. This means that both treatments were equally effective and the hypothesis, that suggested that Group B would improve more than Group A, was incorrect. Conclusion: Both treatment groups improved subjectively and objectively with regards to CNSLBP. Inter-group testing showed that statistically, and for all outcome measurements, there were no significant differences between the two treatment group‘s results. This suggested that there was no additional benefit in combining hip joint manipulation with low back manipulation in the treatment of CNSLBP. / M
