| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to document the ability of a nonsurgical program to improve restricted passive hip abduction in children with Perthes disease. Containment as a form of treatment was recommended if passive hip abduction of 30 degrees or more could be achieved. Medical records and radiographs were retrospectively reviewed for 74 children. Age at admission and onset, side, length of stay, and measurement of passive hip abduction at admission/discharge were recorded. The average increase in abduction with the hip extended was 13 degrees. Forty-two children achieved 30 degrees or more of abduction with the hip extended. Average length of stay was 13 days. Management of restricted abduction in an inpatient setting can allow consideration of containment in 61% of children previously not thought to have the required motion. |
