BACKGROUND Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable skeletal disorder characterized by bone fragility and short stature that is usually due to mutations in 1 of the 2 genes that code for collagen type I α-chains. The association between hip dysplasia and OI has not been systematically investigated. In this single-center study, we retrospectively reviewed all cases of OI associated with hip d...

OBJECTIVES To examine the association of acetabular dysplasia and osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip among elderly white women. METHODS Pelvic radiographs from a sample of 165 white women aged 65 and above with radiographic hip OA and 88 white women aged 65 and above without radiographic changes of hip OA were read for evidence of acetabular dysplasia by a single trained investigator. Acetabular ...

background: developmental dysplasia of hip (ddh) is one of the congenital anomalies in newborns that if not diagnosed and treated on time can lead to a severe disability. although clinical examination is a very useful way for screening, but in some patients, a confirmatory diagnostic method such as ultrasonography is needed. the aim of the present study is to compare the sensitivity and specifi...

A 57-year-old woman with neglected high congenital dislocation of the right hip (Figure 1) and a severe dysplasia of the left hip had progressive pain in both hips, leg-length discrepancy and limitation of motion. On the right side there was a subtrochanteric pseudoarthrosis after an osteotomy performed when the patient was 10 years of age. The patient was admitted to our department and the phy...

INTRODUCTION development dysplasia of the hip is one of the common disorders in pediatric orthopaedics. This requires an early orthopaedic treatment. Neglected cases can lead to hip dislocation, which has an incidence of 1.4 / mille new-borns, being bilateral in 70-80% of cases and prevalence of girls being 7 / 1-4 / 1 (girls / boys). Congenital hip dislocation requires a complex surgical and o...

INTRODUCTION In the investigation of hip development in newborns and infants, ultrasonography and radiography are widely used, but their optimal roles in this setting remain controversial. CASE REPORT Here we describe an 8.5-month-old infant who had undergone hip radiography at a primary care facility and was referred to our hospital to be evaluated for developmental dysplasia of the hip. Ult...

The author is presenting his experience in surgical reconstruction of the dysplastic acetabular roof. combined with a simultaneous reduction subluxed hip. This method was under author’s elaboration since 1927 and it named by him as transiliac osteotomy 1958. Detailed technique described.

Ultrasound (US) imaging of an infant's hip joint is widely used for early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip. In current US-based diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip, trained clinicians acquire US images and, if they judge them to be adequate (i.e., to contain relevant hip joint structures), analyze them manually to extract clinically useful dysplasia metrics. However, ...
