At the Paley European Institute, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for patients with hip-related issues. Our team of experienced specialists offers a wide range of services catering to individuals from newborns to seniors, addressing various hip conditions encountered throughout life stages.
The hip is a vital joint that requires tailored care to address diverse issues, spanning congenital anomalies to sports injuries and age-related degeneration. Leveraging the latest advancements in orthopedics, we ensure a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Hip pain can stem from a multitude of causes, including congenital abnormalities, sports injuries, and degenerative conditions. We aim to deliver personalized solutions that are both effective and safe for the patient. Thus, we provide a spectrum of treatment options, ranging from physical therapy and stem cell injections to advanced surgical techniques.
Sports activities often contribute to hip injuries, with conditions like labral tears or avascular necrosis being common outcomes. At the Paley European Institute, we possess extensive experience in managing various hip problems associated with sports and tailoring treatment plans to facilitate recovery and return to activity.
We also recognize the importance of proper hip development, particularly in children with neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy. Therefore, our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for the youngest patients, utilizing modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
At the Paley European Institute, every patient receives individualized care. Our priority is to provide the best medical assistance to help them regain full functionality and enjoy an active lifestyle.
From infancy to individuals in their fifties, hip problems stemming from poor hip development, dislocations, or partial dislocations may manifest as pain or difficulty walking. In this context, our focus remains on infancy and early childhood, where we employ a comprehensive range of bracing techniques to circumvent the need for surgery whenever feasible.
Our diagnostic approach involves a thorough physical examination, which often reveals characteristic signs such as hip clunk (Ortolani Test) or dislocatability (Barlow Test). Sonograms and occasionally X-rays confirm the diagnosis, guiding subsequent treatment decisions.
Hip dislocations can often be effectively managed in infancy and early childhood with non-surgical interventions such as the Pavlik harness or casting. Should these measures prove inadequate, surgical options may be considered, including closed reduction under anesthesia followed by casting or, in rare cases, open surgery. Timeliness and precision are paramount in achieving successful outcomes, with surgical techniques ranging from tendon release to bone realignment procedures as needed.
For cases of hip dysplasia in early childhood characterized by a shallow socket, surgical interventions aimed at deepening the socket can mitigate the risk of future complications such as pain and arthritis. Our commitment to comprehensive care extends beyond treatment, encompassing personalized management strategies tailored to each patient’s unique needs and circumstances.
At Paley European Institute, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals with hip problems. We leverage advanced techniques and a multidisciplinary approach to optimize outcomes and enhance quality of life.
At Paley European Institute, we understand the critical importance of addressing hip problems promptly and effectively, especially those that arise congenitally or at birth. Our approach prioritizes non-surgical interventions whenever possible, recognizing the significance of early intervention in managing these conditions. We emphasize meticulous application of harnesses, braces, or casts, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
Hip dislocations or Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) affect approximately one in one thousand births. In comparison, dysplasia or subluxation may occur in up to one in one hundred births, making these conditions relatively common. Left untreated, they can lead to chronic pain, arthritis, and functional impairment. While the exact cause of DDH remains elusive, certain factors such as gender, birth order, breech positioning during pregnancy, and familial predisposition are associated with increased risk.
