About Osteoarthritis of Hip

Osteoarthritis of the hip in pediatric patients is a rare but serious condition involving the progressive degeneration of the hip joint cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. In Pediatric Orthopedics, management focuses on preserving the joint, alleviating pain, and restoring function to support a child's growth and development. Treatment is highly individualized, ranging from conservative approaches like physical therapy and activity modification to advanced surgical interventions such as hip preservation surgery, osteotomies, or, in severe cases, hip arthroscopy or replacement in older adolescents. The goal is to delay joint degeneration, correct anatomical abnormalities, and maintain an active lifestyle throughout childhood and into adulthood.

Key Highlights

Focuses on preserving the natural hip joint and delaying the need for major replacement surgery.Tailored to a child's growing skeleton, aiming to correct underlying anatomical issues.Multidisciplinary approach involving pediatric orthopedists, physiotherapists, and pain specialists.Helps maintain mobility, reduce pain, and support normal physical development and participation in activities.Can prevent long-term disability and improve quality of life into adulthood.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent hip pain and stiffness in a child or adolescent that limits daily activities.
Diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or other inflammatory arthropathies affecting the hip.
Developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) leading to secondary osteoarthritis.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease or slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) with subsequent joint degeneration.
Post-traumatic arthritis following a significant hip injury or fracture.
Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) of the femoral head.
Failure of conservative management (medication, physiotherapy) to control symptoms.

How to prepare

Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation including X-rays, MRI, and possibly a CT scan to assess joint damage and bone structure.
Detailed medical history and physical examination by a pediatric orthopedic specialist.
Pre-operative blood tests and cardiac evaluation to ensure fitness for surgery, if required.
Discussion with the child and family about the procedure, goals, and expected outcomes.
Pre-operative physiotherapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and improve joint mobility.
Planning for post-operative support at home and school, including potential need for crutches or a wheelchair.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Nerve or blood vessel injury around the hip, potentially affecting sensation or blood flow.
Joint stiffness, persistent pain, or incomplete relief of symptoms.
Leg length discrepancy, especially after certain osteotomy procedures.
Failure of the procedure, requiring additional surgery in the future.
Implant-related issues (if used), such as loosening, breakage, or allergic reaction.
Risk of growth plate injury in younger children, which can affect bone development.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for pain management, monitoring, and beginning of mobility with assistance.
Use of crutches or a walker for several weeks to protect the hip and allow healing.
A structured physical therapy program is crucial to restore strength, flexibility, and gait.
Gradual return to low-impact activities; high-impact sports may be restricted for several months.
Regular follow-up appointments with X-rays to monitor healing and hip joint development.
Pain management with prescribed medications, transitioning to over-the-counter options as healing progresses.
Long-term lifestyle modifications and ongoing exercises to maintain joint health may be recommended.

Typical hospital stay: 3-7 days
Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Sneha Singh is a 16-year-old aspiring...

Sneha Singh is a 16-year-old aspiring classical dancer from Jaipur. She has been training in Kathak since she was 5 and dreams of performing professionally. For the past two years, she experienced a deep, aching pain in her right groin and hip, especially after long practice sessions. It started as stiffness but progressed to a sharp pain that limited her range of motion, making complex footwork and spins agonizing. X-rays and an MRI confirmed severe osteoarthritis in her right hip, a rare but devastating diagnosis for a teenager, likely stemming from a mild, undiagnosed childhood hip condition. Her pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Rao, explained that Sneha's joint was too damaged for conservative treatments like physiotherapy or injections. He recommended a Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO), a major surgery to realign her hip socket and preserve her own joint, giving her the best chance to return to dance. The surgery was long and the immediate post-op period in the hospital was painful and frightening. However, with relentless dedication to her 9-month rehabilitation protocol, Sneha slowly regained strength and mobility. A year later, while she must manage her activity, she is back in the dance studio, adapting her style but filled with joy. Emotionally, she journeyed from the despair of thinking her dream was over to a fierce determination during recovery, culminating in profound gratitude and a redefined, resilient identity as both a dancer and a survivor.
