A 2.5-month-old girl with bilateral hip dysplasia presented for orthopaedic evaluation and began treatment with a Pavlik harness. One month after the initiation of treatment, decreased use of the left upper extremity was noted, which was consistent with a brachial plexus palsy. The Pavlik harness was discontinued, and upper extremity function fully recovered within 8 weeks.
The Pavlik harness is an effective treatment for hip dysplasia with a low-risk profile. This case serves to remind clinicians of the risk for upper extremity traction injury when a Pavlik harness is used in patients who are large for their chronological age.
一名 2.5 个月大的女孩双侧髋关节发育不良,前来接受矫形评估并开始使用帕夫利克吊带治疗。治疗开始一个月后,发现左侧上肢使用减少,符合臂丛神经麻痹。帕夫利克吊带被停用,上肢功能在 8 周内完全恢复。
帕夫利克吊带是一种治疗髋关节发育不良的有效方法,风险低。本病例提醒临床医生,当帕夫利克吊带用于体型大于其实际年龄的患者时,存在上肢牵引损伤的风险。
