BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital or acquired deformation or misalignment of the hip joint which affects mainly females. We hypothesized that HOXD9 gene could be regulated in acetabular size or shape and related in DDH developing. METHODS Two hundred and nine Chinese Han female DDH patients and 173 ethnic, age matched healthy female controls were genotyped fo...

This study aimed to determine whether abnormal apoptosis is present in acetabular cartilage in early developmental dislocations of the hip (DDH), and if so, whether it is correlated with the expression of caspase-3 and Bcl-2. DDH was induced in 24 4-week-old New Zealand white rabbits. Acetabular cartilage specimens from the experimental and control groups were stained with hematoxylin and eosin...

Objective: We hypothesized that as the patient’s age increases, outcomes of Salter pelvic osteotomy (SPO) get worse. This study aims to compare results surgery in developmental dysplasia hip (DDH) with at which SPO is performed. Patients and Materials: Forthy six hips 36 patients least 1 year regular radiological clinical follow-up were included this study. The retrospectively divided into thre...

Cartilage lesions are at a high prevalence in dysplastic hips and may relate to arthritic changes and hip joint dysfunction. To date, the effectiveness of repair of articular cartilage defects in the dysplastic hips has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Here we retrospectively reviewed the effects of acetabuloplasty procedures with/without concomitant autologous tibial periosteal transplantati...

Using radiography and computer tomography (CT) we studied the morphology of 83 hips in 69 Caucasian adults with osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). A previously published series of 310 hips with primary osteoarthritis was used as a control group. According to the Crowe classification, 33 of the dysplastic hips were graded as class I, 27 as class II and 23 as cl...

Background: In the United States, majority of patient educational material is written in English, thereby limiting available resources for growing Spanish-speaking population. Developmental dysplasia hip (DDH) commonly affects Hispanic patients and education integral to successful management this condition. This study aims analyze readability availability Spanish English on DDH provided by top ...

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), formerly known as congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) is a common congenital malformation which occurs worldwide with variable frequencies in respect to the race and geographic distribution.   Objective: To determine the incidence of DDH, its predisposing factors and the diagnostic value of click for its detection.  Methods: In a cross-s...

Objective. To create a recommendation for pediatricians and other primary care providers about their role as screeners for detecting developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children. Patients. Theoretical cohorts of newborns. Method. Model-based approach using decision analysis as the foundation. Components of the approach include the following: Perspective: Primary care provider. Outcomes:...

OBJECTIVE: One of the most controversial issues in pediatric orthopedics is Developmental dysplasia hip (DDH). The timing diagnosis and treatment are main goal to treat this condition successfully. Neglected cases that may remain undiagnosed until advancing age still seen especially developing countries. Delayed with leads more extensive surgery cause low satisfactory rates. aim study evaluate ...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) and flatfoot are common pediatric orthopedic disorders, being referred to and managed by both general and pediatric orthopedic surgeons, through various modalities. our study aimed to evaluate their consensus and perspective disagreements in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of the mentioned deformities. forty participants in two groups of g...
