12-year-old boy suddenly weak legs fell to the ground, a few seconds later recovered normal

Patient's question:

In the past 20 days, it has happened five times: suddenly losing strength in both legs and collapsing to the ground, only to stand up again after a few seconds. During the examination at Baoding No.1 Hospital, no cause was found.

Doctor's answer:

4 years and older: At this stage, the degree of dislocation is more severe, and the secondary changes in bone and soft tissue are also more serious. Closed reduction is difficult to succeed, and surgical treatment should be adopted. Perform the Charcot pelvic osteotomy. For those with a femoral neck anteversion angle greater than 45°, additional femoral rotation osteotomy should be performed.
