Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The pathogenesis of Perthes' disease has been related to increased intra-articular pressure secondary to a joint effusion. The pressure within the hip in different positions was measured in eight children with transient synovitis and four with the synovial stage of Perthes' disease. In the position of comfort for the hip this pressure was always less than the arteriolar blood pressure and in a supine position it did not exceed the systolic blood pressure. However, in extension with medial rotation the intra-articular pressure always became several times the systolic blood pressure. This high pressure was also recorded in the stable lateral position which occurs normally during sleep. It is concluded that in the presence of a synovial effusion in the hip, a position of extension and medial rotation causes an increase in intra-articular pressure which may compromise the blood supply to the capital epiphysis of the femur. |
