Rehabilitation after hip spica cast treatment DDH m    PDF    Drukuj    Email

 

  Rehabilitation after spica cast treatment mostly  after  overhead  and  close reduction  in luxatio  coxae

congenital( CDH; Lcc ).

The hip acetabulum is usually dysplastic Typ II c  . The femural heads  are after  avascular necrosis 2-3 grad .

( too much obduction  in spica cast  or too much power in overhead)

 

 Rehabilitation after treatment spica cast is of fundamental importance for the shape of the femoral head;

the head is now severely disturbed by the so-called aseptic necrosis caused by the occlusion of the medial circumferential

artery after too much abduction   in a spica cast; usually to the full range of possibilities for an infant: and without blood 

flow control.

 

 

the procedure consists of several stages:

 

1. rebilding of the acetabular bone: -45 minutes of treatment 15 minutes break and try to keep the head close to

the acetabulum (in the gutter formed by the parent's thighs, etc.) not by excessive abduction;

 

2. restoration of blood supply in the head: -weightless exercises until the appearance of ossification nuclei;

 

3. bone rebilding  in the femoral head: - gradual weight (in water, etc.)
