Mr Kiely explains the process of ultrasound scan to determine whether your baby has hip dysplasia.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition affecting the bones of the hip joint. Irregular shaping of the bones causes them to rub together painfully and causes damage within the joint. In our latest online interview, highly experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon Mr Nigel Kiely explains the symptoms of the condition and how it is diagnosed. He also outlines both surgical and non surgical treatment options available for FAI.

Perthes disease or Legg-Calve-Perthes disease as it is sometimes known, is a rare childhood condition that affects the hip. The blood supply to the hip bone is disrupted, causing bone cells to die, which erodes the hip and causes pain in the process. Perthes is approximately 4 times as common in boys as girls and generally occurs between 4 and 8 years of age. Active children tend to be more affected. The first symptom is usually a painless limp, but symptoms can be very subtle, with a mild ache in the thigh or knee not being uncommon. Unfortunately medical agreement on the best way to treat Perthes has not yet been reached. It is treated in various ways but pain management remains a key issues faced by many children. At times, parents are told to "wait and see" to enable the doctors to assess how to best treat their child's condition. As the condition is not well known, it could occur that the child is not correctly diagnosed with Perthes disease leaving the hip to erode resulting in an odd shape. The effects of Perthes into adulthood are still very much unknown. Doctors have very limited information on how many adults require a hip replacement (if any) and if the disease has had long term consequences on their daily activities. This webinar aims to address key questions raised by parents, carers and adults affected by Perthes Disease.
