Study Notes

Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions: Management and Clinical Presentation

Management of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) aims to relieve pain, prevent deformity, contain femoral head, and restore range of motion.
Pain relief for LCPD includes anti-inflammatory medications and traction, and use of orthotic devices or surgical procedures.
Post-operative physiotherapy for LCPD focuses on restoring hip range of motion, muscle flexibility, and strength, especially hip extensors and abductors.
Torticollis, meaning "twisted neck," presents with unilateral shortening of sternocleidomastoid muscle and may cause cranial and facial asymmetry.
The aetiology of torticollis is unknown, with possible causes including intrauterine malposition and birth trauma.
Management of torticollis includes conservative measures, orthotic devices, botulinum toxin injections, and surgical release of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Righting exercises and tummy time are recommended for the management of torticollis in infants aged 12 months or under.
Clubfoot, also known as congenital talipes equinovarus, is a complex deformity with an incidence of 1-3 per 1000 live births and is more common in males.
The aetiology of clubfoot includes intrauterine positioning, neuromuscular impairment, genetic and chromosomal abnormalities.
Management of clubfoot aims to restore alignment and correct the deformity through physiotherapy, Ponseti treatment method, and long-term brace use.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) screening is crucial for all newborns, with risk factors including breech position, female gender, and positive family history of DDH.
Clinical presentation of DDH includes asymmetry of thigh, gluteal or labial folds, limitation of hip abduction range of motion, and positive Trendelenburg sign.
