Hip Joint Considerations

  • Dror Paley
Chapter

Abstract

Range of motion of the hip is an important factor to consider for proximal femoral osteotomy. Range of motion of the hip can be limited due to intra-articular and extra-articular causes. Intraarticular loss of range of motion can be due to capsular contracture, adhesions, or deformity of the spherical shape of the articular surfaces. Extra-articular limitation of range of motion is due to muscle contracture or heterotopic ossification. The presence or absence of limitation of hip motion and the source of this limitation are important considerations for hip osteotomy.
