The diagnosis of hip dysplasia, the prognosis, the evaluation of different methods of treatment is based mainly on X-rays of the hip joint. For the objective evaluation of hip dysplasia in everyday orthopaedic care the acetabular index (AI) or the Centre-edge angle (CE) are frequent measured. But the measurement of AI is not valid index for acetabular Dysplasia in children over 8 years of age and in cases with subluxation of the femoral head where the centre-edge angle (CE) is not accurately calculated. The acetabular angle of Sharp (AA) is especially designed for theses cases.The acetabular angle of Sharp (AA) is formed by a horizontal line connecting the tips of the both pelvic teardrops and by a line connecting the inferior tip of the pelvic teardrop with the most lateral point of the acetabular roof.
Measuring angles X-rays in clinical settings it is time consuming. Accessory instruments like protractors, goniometers, well sharped pencils, rulers or even transparent papers must be available in a busy everyday practice. Usually you miss or you never had one or another. Also after measurement you have to compare the data that you measure with the normal reference values according to patient age, and decide what could be considered normal in an X-ray of the hip and what is considered pathologic. This way is cumbersome and old fashioned.The SharpAngle app is medical software aimed for orthopaedic surgeons, providing tools that allow doctors to:
-Securely import medical images directly from the camera or stored photos
-Offers a very convenient way to determine the most accurate possibly lines in order to measure the angles. By the aid of a circular transparent template, the points of interest are marked accurately. The automatically formed lines, drawn between points, measure automatically the angles of interest. The results are printed in degrees. By inputting the age, of the patient in the App, the measured angle is compared with values from normal reference database according to patient age. In case the measured angle is beyond the normal range for that age, the hips are categorised as borderline dysplastic or dysplastic.
-Save the planned images, for later review or consultation.
The software is a class II medical device in the FDA. All information received from the software output must be clinically reviewed regarding its plausibility before patient treatment! SharpAngle App is indicated for assisting healthcare professionals. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software. The software is not for primary image interpretation.
The app is a handy tool for an orthopaedic surgeon, radiologist, medical student or resident who wants objectively monitor and determine the severity of dysplasia of the hip. The build-in comparison feature with the normal reference values according to patient age may help decide what could be considered normal or borderline dysplastic or dysplastic. The app is not a simple goniometer, is an enhanced product which offers the ability to compare all the input data with medical reference database. The results are printed on the screen and the hips are categorised as normal or dysplastic according to the AA angle measures respectively. This feature it is particular useful especially in clinical settings where you need a quick results without losing time in looking for reference data according to age variations in huge textbooks.

The Postcard
A Saxon Series postcard that was published by W. R. The card was posted in Margate on Tuesday the 2nd. July 1912 to:
Miss M. Milman,
Dalton House,
Watford.
The message on the divided back of the card was obviously written by a patient at the hospital:
"Many Happy Returns
of the day.
I am still improving - my
temperature has been
normal for 13 days.
Nurse Grove came this
afternoon to see me.
B. Kemp".
The Royal Sea Bathing Hospital
The Royal Sea Bathing Hospital in Margate, Kent was founded by Dr. John Coakley Lettsom, a Quaker physician and philanthropist.
The hospital was one of the earliest - if not the earliest - specialist orthopaedic hospital in the UK, and pioneered the use of open-air treatment for patients with non-pulmonary tuberculosis.
Patients received a variety of treatments, with a central focus on providing patients with the supposed clinical benefits of sunshine, fresh air and sea bathing.
History of the Hospital
The organisation was founded in 1791 to treat poor sufferers from scrofula in London. The original hospital was built between 1793 and 1796. The treatment was based on fresh air and bathing, so from the start it was provided with verandas.
Bathing was done from a bathing machine in the sea. At first the hospital was only open during the summer months, but in 1858 an indoor pool was added to allow bathing all year round.
When possible beds were on the verandah and patients slept there. Only in inclement weather were the beds brought indoors.
The hospital was enlarged around 1880 following the donation of £30,000 by Sir Erasmus Wilson who was a director of the hospital and President of the Royal College of Surgeons.
The enlargement included the Knowles ward, a heated indoor salt-water pool, and the hospital's chapel. The Knowles ward had a flat roof that was used as a promenade by patients.
The hospital continued treating tuberculosis until the 1950's. However, better living conditions, preventative medicine and more modern treatments led to the closure of the hospital in the early 1950's. The whole complex has been turned into apartments.
Architecture of the Hospital
The original building was of yellow brick with stone dressings. The original block remains, but heavily altered, and is the basis of the eastern arm of the quadrangle.
In 1816 the southern wing was added, and in 1820 the northern two storey wing. Around 1853 the buildings were raised to two stories, and a monumental Greek portico added to the front of the original building. At the end of these wings were the wards for children.
The Knowles extensions of 1880 completed the square, forming an internal quadrangle. The entrance portico was now internal, so was moved to the south wing to form the current main entrance.
The Hospital Chapel
The chapel was built 1882–3 by James Knowles as part of Wilson's expansion. It is now a Grade II listed building. The stained glass is by Clayton and Bell, and according to English Heritage:
"A very fine series depicting
miracles and healing plants".
At the west end there is an octagonal font and a wall painting depicting Naaman with his chariot and horse at the door of Elisha. Underneath is Elisha's instruction to:
"Go wash in Jordan seven times
and thy flesh will come again".
The organ is by Henry Willis and has stencilled pipes to the front.
The Mortuary
The mortuary is from the 1880 expansion, and is probably by James Knowles. It is a single storey red brick building with stone dressings and parapet. The entrance has an ogee hood moulding in stone with a lancet window above.
The Statue of Erasmus Wilson
Erasmus Wilson was the donor who paid for the chapel and the 1883 extensions. He is depicted in an academic gown. The statue is in bronze mounted on a granite plinth forming the centrepiece of the hospital's front garden.
The Explosion of an Airship
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 2nd. July 1912, the airship Akron exploded in mid-air near Atlantic City, New Jersey, killing the five crew members on board, including pioneer aerial photographer Melvin Vaniman.
Bill Mitchell
The day also marked the birth in Cleveland of the American automobile designer Bill Mitchell. best known iconic vehicle designs for Chevrolet including the Bel Air, the Stingray, and the Camaro. Bill died in 1988.
Opened in 1928 and closed in 1995, it's short life a tribute to the effective treatment of TB with drugs. Now fully demolished.
There are several aerial photos of the site, all showing the four ward blocks built facing the sun and with the facility to push beds out into the sun, together with two more permanent buildings and some huts at the rear.

Like many of the cathedral's key statues, this monument in the south aisle of the choir is by Edward Carter Preston. I was immediately struck by the stylistic similarity to Herbert Tyson Smith's friezes on the Liverpool Cenotaph. Perhaps that's partly due to the fashion of the time, but on further research I see that Carter Preston was Tyson Smith's brother-in-law. I love these little details ;)
The monument itself commemorates Sir Robert Jones, Bt, KBE, CB, one of the founders of orthopaedics as a modern surgical specialism focusing on the treatment of fractures rather than correction of deformity in children. His work on virtually inventing military orthopaedic hospitals during the First World War, including radically improved treatment of soldiers' femoral fractures (reducing mortality of gunshots to the thigh from 80% to 20%), led to his progressive promotion from Territorial Army surgeon to 'Major General: Inspector for Orthopaedics'; he was subsequently elected as the first president of the International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery.
