The purpose of this study will be to review the outcome of a subtotal capsulectomy of the hip for idiopathic chondrolysis. Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip is a very rare condition. It is characterized by cartilage necrosis of the hip joint not associated with trauma, SUFE, infections or other demonstrable causes. It was first described in 1971 by Jones from the Princess Alice Orthopaedic Hospital in Cape Town. It occurs mainly in adolescent girls. The outcome in South Africa has been reported as a progressive downhill course resulting in a painful, stiff hip. The aetiology of the disease remains unknown. Theories suggested are mechanical (decreased movement with loss of synovial nutrition; increased joint pressure) and an auto-immune response in genetically predisposed individuals. The differential diagnosis includes atrophic-type tuberculosis of the hip. Suggested treatment ranges from NSAIDs and range of motion exercises alone to early aggressive surgical treatment. Our experience with continuous passive motion (CPM) and NSAID treatment have been disappointing. 2015-07-01T09:02:56Z 2015-07-01T09:02:56Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13251 eng application/pdf Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
