Hip Pain:
Treatment
(In A Page: Pediatric Signs and Symptoms)
-
Septic arthritis, femoral neck fracture, and irreducible traumatic hip dislocation require immediate surgical intervention
-
Infectious disease consult for septic joint
-
Once surgical emergencies are ruled out, keeping the patient non-weight bearing on the affected extremity will allow continued investigation without further injury
-
SCFE: Prevent further slippage by percutaneous pinning or screw fixation
-
Legg-Calvé-Perthes: Treatment goals include restoring ROM, improving symptoms, and containing the femoral epiphysis during reossification phase; accomplished by limiting activity, traction, Petrie casting, and surgical procedures for containment
-
DDH: Pavlik harness, closed reduction and casting, open reduction for irreducible hip dislocation, or femoral and/or pelvic osteotomy depending on status and age of developing hip

Dislocations and subluxations:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Immediate reduction (before tissue edema and muscle spasm make reduction difficult) can prevent additional tissue damage and vascular impairment. Closed reduction consists of manual traction under general anesthesia (or local anesthesia and sedatives). During such reduction, I.V. morphine controls pain; I.V. midazolam controls muscle spasm and facilitates muscle stretching during traction. Some injuries require open reduction under regional block or general anesthesia. Such surgery may include wire fixation of the joint, skeletal traction, and ligament repair.
After reduction, a splint, a cast, or traction immobilizes the joint. In most cases, immobilizing the digits for 2 weeks, hips for 6 to 8 weeks, and other dislocated joints for 3 to 6 weeks allows surrounding ligaments to heal. Follow-up with a physical therapist is usually required to maintain optimal joint function.
