The effect of genetic factors on hip dislocation, acetabular dysplasia, and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) has long been recognized. In this report, we presented a large family that showed single gene inheritance for DDH. Pedigree analysis of a pregnant woman revealed a history of DDH in 16 members of the family. Although the pedigree showed autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance, the prevalence of DDH was considerably high, almost accounting for one-third of the family members, and skipping only one generation. Of 16 cases, three patients were diagnosed at our center. The remaining 13 patients were diagnos . . .ed at other centers. Dislocation was diagnosed very late in most of the family members, while four cases were diagnosed at birth. All family members were informed by a detailed clinical letter and recommended evaluation for DDH at every birth

The aim of surgical treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is to restore stability of the tendon. Various suture techniques and materials can be used for this purpose. Suture materials may be polyfilament or monofilament, absorbable or nonabsorbable. We presented four patients who developed severe chronic discharges associated with thick polyglactine (Vicryl) used during open repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Surgical removal of suture materials and debridement resulted in complete improvement without any complications. The use of thick suture materials and large knots should be avoided in the repair of Achilles tendon ruptur . . .es. Polyfilament and absorbable sutures may pose problems due to their tendency to cause bacterial colonization and tissue rejection
