Bone density of the hip components in children with congenital dislocations and subluxations of the hip

Abstract

The quantitative parameters of acetabulum and femoral head have been studied in 11 patients at the age of 5-11 years with the hip dysplasia using computer tomography technique. Patients were divided into two groups depending on dislocation degree: those with the hip congenital dislocation and subluxation. The mean density values of different structures of the hip, closely connected with its structural details, have been evaluated using computer tomography.
