APEX Managing Modern Athletic Hip Injuries-Online Didactic (September 2021)-Residual Pediatric Deformities

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a video, Steve Aoki from the University of Utah discusses residual pediatric hip deformities, specifically slipped capital femoral epiphysis (skiffy) and Perthes hips. He explains the various types and severity of skiffy and explores the treatment options, including arthroscopic and open techniques. Aoki presents a study showing positive results with arthroscopic treatment for mild and moderate skiffy. He then moves on to Perthes hips, highlighting the challenges and variability in deformities. While arthroscopic treatment has shown some improvement, Aoki notes that not all Perthes cases are the same and results may vary. The goal is to improve pain, function, and quality of life for patients with these deformities.
