How is acetabular Retroversion treated?
Global acetabular retroversion is classically treated with open reverse periacetabular osteotomy. Given the low morbidity and recent success associated with the arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), there may also be a role for arthroscopic treatment of acetabular retroversion.
Does acetabular Retroversion require surgery?
As the underlying problem with acetabular retroversion is one of the hip joint being malpositioned, it may require correction with surgery. Having an acetabular retroversion treatment may involve either arthroscopic trimming of the bone, or osteotomy (cutting the pelvis and realigning it).
Is acetabular Retroversion congenital?
Discussion. Our data suggest that the presence of acetabular retroversion is probably independent of the congenital hip dysplasia and that this abnormality seems at best a secondary factor in the appearance of dysplastic hip symptoms.
What is acetabular Retroversion?
Acetabular retroversion represents a particular form of hip dysplasia characterized by abnormal posterolateral orientation of the acetabulum. This pathophysiology predisposes the individual to subsequent anterior impingement of the femoral neck upon the anterior acetabular margin and fibrous labrum.
What is mild acetabular Retroversion?
Acetabular retroversion is a condition where the hip socket (acetabulum) faces backwards (retroversion) rather than forwards. Cause. Acetabular retroversion is a form of hip dysplasia (where the hip fails to form normally).
How is femoral Retroversion treated?
TREATMENT: Treatment of femoral retroversion can become very difficult. The primary treatment is to attempt to stretch the muscle group in the hip to improve internal rotation. This must be done aggressively at a very early age to try to improve the overall muscle balance in the hip.
What is superior acetabular Retroversion?
How do you fix femoral Retroversion?
Getting a child into a sneaker at an early age will help to improve balance when the child starts to walk. Assessing for external tibial torsion that may significantly complicate femoral retroversion.
