• The absence of normal forces that form the acetabulum causes a smaller native acetabulum with absence of anterior wall, coxa valga and increased femoral anteversion among other anatomical changes[10]. (actascientific.com)
  • During developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), the acetabular side exhibits a sharp and shallow articular surface, while the femoral side exhibits bone morphological abnormalities, such as coxa valga and excessive femoral neck anteversion. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Coxa valga is a deformity of the hip in which the angle between the femoral shaft and the femoral neck is increased compared to age-adjusted values (about 150 degrees in newborns gradually reducing to 120-130 degrees in adults). (beds.ac.uk)
  • The condition may cause multiple or single deformities such as subluxation, instability, dislocation, and dysplasia of the femoral head or/and acetabulum. (actascientific.com)
  • The adolescent age group with skeletal immaturity deserves special attention from the surgeons because of grave complications like avascular necrosis of the femur head and angular deformities. (ijrsms.com)
  • There was no avascular necrosis, angular deformity and infection. (ijrsms.com)
  • Final limb length discrepancy and any angular or rotational deformities were determined. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The persistence of this condition may eventually cause degenerative hip joint disease, limb-length discrepancy with a flexion/adduction deformity, abnormal gait, back pain, postural scoliosis, and ipsilateral genu valgus followed by arthritis of the knee in both childhood and adulthood.

  • Gibbus deformity of the lower spine is common and often noted within the first year. (nih.gov)
  • Deformities of the SPINE characterized by abnormal bending or flexure in the vertebral column. (lookformedical.com)
