Arthur H. Hall '38 suffered serious hip and arm injuries yesterday afternoon as the result of a plunge from the newly opened Mount Monadnock ski trail when, rounding a turn at breakneck speed, he lost control of his skis and swerved from the course...
...Shelved Hips. Dislocation of the hip is apt to recur when the muscles which hold the hip bone into the shallow hip socket have been weakened. Injury or infantile paralysis will do this. Dr. Marion Beckett Howorth of Manhattan invented a way of overcoming the slipping of the joint. He cuts through the flesh at the hip, lays bare the joint. Then he carefully breaks the part of the pelvic bone which forms the upper edge of the hip socket. The loosened piece of bone he bends down and wedges securely with bone grafts. After healing, the downturned chunk...
...Hips at Birth. Usually it is difficult to know whether a baby's hip is out of joint. One way to tell is to study the folds in the skin of the thighs. If one thigh is creased more on the inner side than the other, the creased side is dislocated. If both thighs are deeply creased, both hips are probably dislocated. Another method is to put the baby flat on its back and bend its legs at the hips and knees so that its feet are flat on the table or bed. If one hip has been...
Last week Drs. Samuel Kleinberg and Herman Solomon Lieberman of Manhattan offered a reliable indicator. On an x-ray picture of the child's torso they draw a line through the centres of both hips. Then they draw a line through the roof of each hip socket (acetabulum). The angles formed by the roof lines crossing the centre line the doctors call the acetabular index. In normal hips the angles measure between 20° and 27.5°. If the angles exceed 27.5°, dislocation probably will occur...
...roof of the hip socket is gristly and elastic for many months after a baby is born. To overcome congenital dislocation of the hip, the orthopedist need simply spread-eagle the baby's legs with a brace or v-shaped mattress for about six months. The spread-eagling forces the hip bones into their sockets, which yield enough to make permanent receptacles. If the bracing is done before the child is six months old, he will suffer little inconvenience or pain. In the second six months bones start to become rigid and the operation becomes more difficult and painful...
