[Orthopod] Bilat hip and knee pain
|
Can't Post

|
Dear colleagues,
The Xrays attached are of a lady who presented
with bilateral hip and knee pain. She is 54 years of
age and about 4.5 feet in height. On examination she
had fixed flexion deformity of both hips of about 30
degrees with no further movement. She has bilateral
knee valgus. The range of movements at the knees is
about 10 to 60 degrees. While she is ambulating, it is
with severe pain and limp.
In the past she has had bilateral hip surgery
(proximal femoral ostetomy when she was 17 years old
for a possible hip subluxation). No old records are
available.
Her immediate problem is the knee pain. What could be
best done for her? X-rays are attached. Looking
forward to all of your valued opinion.
Dr. Biju Benjamin
