Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) Etiology  Genetic predisposition  May happen early during fetal development  Mechanical forces late in pregnancy The hip can only develop Pathophysiology normally if the femoral head is properly maintained within the  Hip instability acetabulum  Subluxation  Complete dislocation Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) Dysplasia of the hip  Acetabulum is shallow or sloping  Continued dislocation or subluxation can lead to complications  Avascular necrosis of the femoral head  Hip instability  Limited ROM  Palsy of the femoral nerve  Early onset of osteoarthritis Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) Clinical manifestations  Limited abduction  Asymmetry of the gluteal and thigh folds Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) Physical assessment on all Diagnostic testing NBs conducted to evaluate for hip  Allis sign instability  Barlow and Ortolani maneuvers 6 months of age Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) Therapeutic Management Goal: Maintain the hip joint in reduction allowing the femoral head and acetabulum to develop properly Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) Maintains the hip Clinical therapy in flexion and  Newborn to 6 months abduction  Pavlik harness: Prevents extension & adduction  > 6 months  Bryant traction  Closed reduction and spica cast  Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) Sophie is a 2-week-old infant born vaginally in a breech presentation. Prior to discharge she was noted to have hip instability. At today’s follow-up appointment, it is recommended to receive diagnostic studies to confirm the diagnosis of developmental hip dysplasia and begin treatment as soon as possible to promote proper development. What diagnostic test Diagnosis of DDH is would Sophie receive at confirmed. What course of this point? treatment is expected?

What would be the nurse’s priority concerns? Educate Prepare for what is to Answer come questions Scoliosis As the nurse receiving the 13-year-old patient from the OR after spinal fusion and placement of the Harrington rod, what are your priority nursing concerns and interventions? Pain assessment Assess dressing & VS and drains neurovascular checks C/DB Position changes = Monitor for Log Rolling infection Scoliosis Nursing considerations  Pre-operative  Preparation for what to expect  Post-operative  Nursing Care Pain control Neurovascular checks Coughing & deep breathing Position changes Activity will gradually increase Pre-medicate for activity A school health nurse is screening for scoliosis. Which finding would the nurse assess for? 1. Prominent scapula 2. Allis sign 3. Evenness in arm length 4. Alignment of shoulders over hips A young child has just returned from surgery in a spica cast. The priority nursing intervention would be which of the following? 1. Elevate head of bed. 2. Check circulation. 3. Turn to right side. 4. Offer sips of water. Which of the following is appropriate for the nurse to include in parental education regarding the Pavlik harness? Select all that apply. 1. Apply lotion or powder to minimize skin irritation. 2. Put clothing under the harness for maximum effectiveness of the device. 3. Check at least two or three times a day for red areas under the straps. 4. Place a diaper over the harness, preferably using a thin, superabsorbent, disposable diaper. Thank You Questions?
