In addition, hips displaying avascular necrosis of the femoral heads in 2008 were classified according to the classification of Kalamchi and MacEwen: group I hips had changes affecting the ossific nucleus, group Il hips had lateral physeal damage, group III hips had central physeal damage, and group IV hips had damage to the entire femoral head and physis.
Remains by Simon Armitage Prev Article Next Article In the last hundred years alone, Britain has seen two large-scale world wars, conflicts in Korea and Iraq, smaller-scale conflicts in Africa, and problems in the Middle East and Asia, and it has only been two years since they have taken their flag down in Afghanistan, thus meaning that their troops are no longer engaged in any particular war.
Avascular necrosis following treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip. Kalamchi A, MacEwen GD. A review of 119 patients with congenital dislocation of the hip complicated by avascular necrosis, of whom fifty-one patients were skeletally mature, showed that damage to the physis was very common.
The radiographs were also scored for osteonecrosis with use of the Kalamchi and MacEwen classification system and were also assessed for sphericity with use of Mose rings. Results: Forty-seven patients with late-presenting developmental dysplasia of the hip who subsequently underwent successful closed reduction were included.
AVN was evaluated according to the Kalamchi and MacEwen classification (2,5,6). The patients were evaluated in terms of dislocation and their ages at the time of admission were found from the physical examination files of the last follow-up and range of motion (ROM) of the operated hips during the last follow-up were noted. Surgical Technique.
The Kalamchi and MacEwen classification was used to assess osteonecrosis, and the McKay classification was used to assess the clinical outcome at the time of the latest follow-up. For the statistical analyses, we selected the worse side in patients in the bilateral group as the index hip if the outcome was asymmetrical and the left hip if the outcome was symmetrical.
A review of 119 patients with congenital dislocation of the hip complicated by avascular necrosis, of whom fifty-one patients were skeletally mature, showed that damage to the physis was very common. Changes in the secondary ossification center (ossific nucleus) alone were found to be of very little.
The Kalamchi and MacEwen classification was used to assess osteonecrosis, and the McKay clas-sification was used to assess the clinical outcome at the time of the latest follow-up. For the statistical analyses, we selected theworse side in patients in the bilateral group as the index hip if the outcomewasasymmetrical and the left hip if the outcome was symmetrical.
Kalamchi and MacEwen also reported that early recognition of lateral growth arrest can be challenging, but one must be alert to the presence of lateral ossification, lateral physeal irregularity and bridging, lateral notching of the epiphysis and a lateral metaphyseal defect in the early radiological detection of this form of AVN. These.
For three patients who had previous surgery in Group II, the effect of the procedures on skeletal growth was considered to be one of the factors which had caused the deformities in the head and neck. The anatomic deformity in patients in the current Group I could not be classified into any group of the classification of Kalamchi and MacEwen.
