RESULTS OF THE STUDY OF HIP JOINT PATHOLOGY

Abstract

Congenital diseases of the hip joint, which include hip joint dysplasia and congenital hip dislocation, rank first in frequency not only among the segments of the lower limb, but also in relation to diseases of other localizations of the musculoskeletal system. The main diagnostic methods for hip joint pathologies are ultrasound and radiological examination. However, in cases of hip joint pathology, there are several generally accepted standards of treatment — both conservative and surgical. Yet, it is not always possible to successfully apply one or another treatment method as desired in practice. After conservative treatment, adduction contracture of the hip joint often develops. In this regard, an individualized approach that takes into account the condition of the surrounding tissues acquires particular importance in treatment. The use of minimally invasive treatment methods, considering the surrounding tissues, is aimed at reducing complications.
