FACULTY INTRODUCTION

LECTURE 1 - ANATOMICAL DEFINITION: DR. SANDEEP HEMMADI

Learning points (Checklist 1)

Chondro-osseous border

Femoral head

Synovial fold

Joint capsule

Labrum

Hyaline cartilage roof

Bony roof ending in lower limb

Turning point (concavity to convexity)

LECTURE 2 - USABILITY CHECK: DR. SANDEEP HEMMADI

Learning points (Checklist 2)

Lower limb, Plane, Labrum1

Questions from text bar lecture 1 and 2: All Faculty

Group practice

Few slides for identification - centred or decentred

Using the workshop 1 images from the work book.

Anatomical identification check list 1 - if centred or not

Then Usability check list 2

LECTURE 3 - TYPES OF HIP: DR. SANDEEP HEMMADI

Learning points

Type I - Mature

Type II - Hip centred - less bony cover

Type III - Decentred - Cartilage pushed up

Type IV - Decentred - Cartilage pushed down

LECTURE 4 - SCANNING TECHNIQUE: DR. CLARE CARPENTER

Video demonstration

Handling the mother / positioning the baby / Sonofix and guide. Never pull on the leg - babies have a flexion, external rotation contracture early on and so will be painful.

Gel on the skin / Finger-position

Forward-backwards..... and identify the lower limb first, never the plane first!

LECTURE 5 - MEASUREMENT & CLASSIFICATION: DR. SANDEEP HEMMADI

Learning points

Type I - Alpha angle ≥ 60

Type II - Alpha angle 43 - 59

Type III - Decentered Cartilage displaced upwards, perichondrium upwards

Type IV - Decentered Cartilage displaced downwards, perichondrium horizontal

LECTURE 6 - CLINICAL / SELECTIVE / UNIVERSAL SCREENING: DR. SANDEEP HEMMADI

LECTURE 7 - TILTING ERRORS AND COMMON ERRORS IN PRACTICE: DR. CLARE CARPENTER

Learning points

Be aware of possibility of tilting error

Scan should show all anatomical landmarks correctly

Correct scan - accurate diagnosis - correct treatment

LECTURE 8 - PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT: DR. CLARE CARPENTER

Learning points

Reduction

Retention

Ossification / Maturation

Treat till Type I, Avoid iatrogenic complications

LECTURE 9 - WHY THE GRAF METHOD: DR. SANDEEP HEMMADI

09.45 - 10.00 AM	WELCOME FACULTY INTRODUCTIONS: DR. SANDEEP HEMMADI Group 1 Group 2 Group 3
10.00 - 10.15 AM	WORKSHOP 1 - ANATOMICAL DEFINITION: ALL FACULTY Group practice (15 min) on few slides for identification - centred or decentred All delegates to use the workshop 1 images in the workbook. Do checklist 1. Draw in Labrum - triangle Put a dot on the turning point: Concavity to convexity (use thumb or coin) Explain concept of centred and decentred hip At the end of checklist one One decision required: is the hip centred or not centred? Learning points (Checklist 1) 1. Chondro-osseous border 2. Femoral head 3. Synovial fold 4. Joint capsule 5. Labrum 6. Hyaline cartilage roof 7. Bony roof down to lower limb 8. Turning point (concavity to convexity)
10.15 - 10.30 AM	WORKSHOP 2 - USABILITY CHECK: ALL FACULTY Group practice on few slides for checklist 1 and 2 1. Mark the outline of the lower limb. 2. Use the lower and inner most aspect (femoral side) of the bright spot 3. Anatomical identification checklist 1 - if centred or not 4. Then Usability checklist 2 Learning points (Checklist 2) 1. Lower limb 2. Plane 3. Labrum
10.30 - 10.45 AM	SCANNING DEMONSTRATION: ALL FACULTY Handling the mother / positioning the baby / Sonofix and guide. Never pull / extend the leg – babies have a flexion contracture early on at the hip and so will be painful. Gel on the skin / Finger-position left hip and finger position right hip to achieve internal rotation Forward-backwards... and identify the lower limb first, never the plane first!

01.30 - 01.40 PM	WORKSHOP 3 - TYPES OF HIP: ALL FACULTY Group practice on few slides for type of hip Type the images in the workbook, no measurements Anatomical checklist 1 then decide centred or not If centred: 1 or 2; if decentred: 3 or 4 Usability check, Description. No measurement at this stage Discuss the exception to the usability checklist – In a decentred joint the lower limb may not be visible. Explain? (They are in different planes) Checklist I first – because if it is a decentred joint, even if plane is incorrect or no lower limb visible, you may have a diagnosis Learning points 1. Type I – Mature 2. Type II – Hip centred – less bony cover 3. Type III – Decentred – Cartilage pushed up 4. Type IV – Decentred – Cartilage pushed down
01.40 - 01.50 PM	WORKSHOP 4 - MEASUREMENT & CLASSIFICATION: ALL FACULTY Group practice (15 min) on few slides Description: write down type, Only then draw in the angles Base line and bony roof line, alpha and beta angles Hints to avoid typical mistakes: Lower Limb: Errors – fatty soft tissue; ossification in triradiate cartilage; fovea Bony roof line (BRL) is never placed inside the echoes! Pivot from lower limb tangential to the bony roof. BRL in contact to the bone BRL comes from the lower inner edge of the lower limb, not from the middle of the lower limb Base line: Tangential to the bone from where proximal perichondrium attaches to the ilium Explain the different echoes on the lower limb: fovea, fat, ligament Learning points: 1. Type I - alpha angle ≥ 60 2. Type II - alpha angle 43 - 59 3. Type III - decentred: Cartilage displaced upwards; perichondrium upwards 4. Type IV - decentred: Cartilage displaced downwards; perichondrium horizontal 5. Sub-classifications within Type II
