Introduction

Seventeen patients diagnosed with cerebral palsy were studied to assess the results of X-rays vs. 3D CT scans of the hip.

Materials and methods

3 X-ray parameters were compared with 4 3D CT scan parameters.

Results

The results obtained showed a significant correlation between X-rays and CT scans. According to the assessment of the Weinberg Central Edge (CE) angle there were 28 dysplastic hips and 6 normal hips. According to the Reimers index there were 29 dysplastic hips and 5 normal hips. According to the acetabular index there were 30 subluxated hips and 4 normal hips. Using CT scan parameters the mean value of the femoral neck-shaft angle was 147.09° (range: 127°-175°), a higher-than-normal figure. The mean value of the femoral anteversion angle was 33.43° (range 9°-50°), also higher than usual. The mean axial acetabular index was 120.29°, with a normal value of 101.6° at 9 years of age associated with acetabular flattening. The mean acetabular anteversion angle was 13.11° (range 7°-24°), which indicated a parity of results.

Conclusions

X-rays are necessary for the diagnosis and prognosis of hip dysplasia. Acetabular coverage and presurgery assessment and planning must be done based on 3D CT scans.

Introducción

Se estudiaron 17 pacientes con diagnóstico de parálisis cerebral, para evaluar la utilidad de los rayos X de cadera frente a la tomografía 3D.

Material y método

Se compararon 3 parámetros radiológicos con 4 parámetros tomográficos tridimensionales.

Resultados

Se obtuvieron resultados que correlacionan significativamente a los estudios radiológicos con los tomográficos. El ángulo CE de Wieberg mostró 28 caderas displásicas y 6 normales. El índice de Reimers 29 caderas displásicas y 5 dentro de límites normales. El índice acetabular 4 caderas normales y 30 caderas subluxadas. En los parámetros tomográficos el ángulo cérvico-diafisiario femoral presentó una media de 147,09° con un rango entre 127° y 175°, lo que demuestra un promedio más alto de lo normal. El ángulo de anteversión femoral obtuvo los siguientes resultados: media de la muestra 33,43°, rango superior 50°, rango inferior 9°. Se observa un valor aumentado de la anteversión. El índice acetabular axial mostró un promedio de índice axial acetabular de 120,29°, siendo el valor normal 101,6° para los 9 años de edad, lo que se asocia con aplanamiento del acetábulo. El ángulo de anteversión acetabular presenta una media de 13,11° con un rango entre 24° y 7°, lo que representa una paridad en los resultados.

Conclusiones

La indicación de radiografías está justificada para el diagnóstico y pronóstico de displasia de cadera. La cobertura acetabular y las evaluaciones para cirugías deben estudiarse y programarse con tomografías tridimensionales.
