Hip Contracture

Permanent fixation of the hip in primary positions, with limited passive or active motion at the hip joint. Locomotion is difficult and pain is sometimes present when the hip is in motion. It may be caused by trauma, infection, or poliomyelitis. (From Current Medical Information & Technology, 5th ed)

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Hip Contracture:

1.	HLA-B27 Antigen (HLA B27 Antigen)IBA 01/01/1995 - "HLA-B27 positive arthritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of otherwise unexplained hip contractures in children." 01/01/1995 - "Hip contracture as the presenting sign in children with HLA-B27 arthritis."
2.	Valproic Acid (Depakote)FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/1991 - "This report describes the development of an intraoperative defect in haemostasis which occurred during surgery for lengthening of the heel cords and release of hip contractures in a patient receiving valproic acid. "
3.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 09/01/2008 - "PA with hip contracture was completely treated with surgical excision, irrigation, drainage, and antibiotics. "
4.	4-hexyloxyaniline (HOA)IBA 01/01/2021 - "Coronal hip contracture induces pelvic obliquity in the presence of hip osteoarthritis (HOA), followed by the functional leg-length discrepancy. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Spinal Fusion (Spondylosyndesis) 02/01/2021 - "The patient underwent a revision spinal surgery with an extension of spinal fusion for PJF and muscle release around the hip for hip contracture which resulted in improved walking and standing movements with no reports of pain. " 02/01/2021 - "In this study, we report the case of a 76-year-old Japanese woman who underwent corrective spinal fusion surgery for spinal scoliosis secondary to hip contracture. " 02/01/2021 - "Unexpected Complications after Corrective Spinal Fusion Surgery for Adult Spinal Deformity with Severe Hip Contracture."
2.	Prostheses and Implants (Prosthesis) 10/01/2023 - "The motor Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score was improved from 60 on admission to 83 on discharge.  Strengthening the hip and trunk muscles, improving endurance and balance, preventing hip contracture, and maintaining the hip range of motion are necessary for walking with bilateral TF prostheses. " 05/01/2011 - "To achieve the final equal leg length after surgery one must comply with some rules: proper patient's examination, informing patient about possible leg length discrepancy, proper length measurement- both clinical and radiological after antero-posterior pelvis x-ray; proper radiological length measurements especially when some hip contractures are observed, appropriate implant selection, proper prosthesis templating. " 05/01/1962 - "Modified prosthesis compensating for above-knee amputation with fixed hip contracture."
3.	Osteotomy 01/04/2017 - "Reorientational Proximal Femoral Osteotomies for Arthrogrypotic Hip Contractures." 01/01/2007 - "16 femoral intertrochanteric osteotomies were performed for hip contracture between 1992 and 2002 in 7 AMC patients. " 06/28/2017 - "Reorientational Proximal Femoral Osteotomies for Correction of Hip Contractures in Children with Arthrogryposis." 01/04/2017 - "The reorientational hip osteotomy corrects the hip contractures by altering the range of motion but not the total arc of motion. " 06/28/2017 - "We performed reorientational osteotomies on 68 consecutive children with arthrogrypotic multiplanar hip contractures over a 5-year span, and 65 were followed for at least 2 years; 54 of these patients had a bilateral hip contracture, for a total of 119 reorientational osteotomies. "
4.	Hip Replacement Arthroplasty (Total Hip Replacement) 06/01/2019 - "To evaluate the impact of spinopelvic parameters and hip contracture on change in the pelvic tilt (PT) after Total hip arthroplasty (THA). " 01/01/1979 - "The ischemia after total hip replacement was probably the result of interruption of critical collateral circulation about the hip or of traction on the femoral vessels tethered by scar when the short limb was lengthened or when the hip contracture was corrected. "
5.	Traction 02/01/2012 - "Rebalancing the pelvis in these cases with preoperative skeletal traction and/or sufficient release of hip contractures may be necessary. " 01/01/1979 - "The ischemia after total hip replacement was probably the result of interruption of critical collateral circulation about the hip or of traction on the femoral vessels tethered by scar when the short limb was lengthened or when the hip contracture was corrected.
