Introduction
 Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) includes femoral head subluxation or dislocation and/or acetabular dysplasia. The gold standard treatment for DDH during walking age remains controversial. Treatment modalities that have been proposed to treat after are osteotomy and pelvic osteotomy. aim this study was assess radiographic results surgical age.

The aim of the study was to assess the clinical value of ultrasound screenings for the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and explore its etiology in high-risk infants with cerebral palsy in follow-up visits. A group of 98 cases of infants at high-risk of cerebral palsy who received rehabilitation treatment between July, 2009 and July, 2010 were selected. Infants included 58 men and 40 wo...

DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) is a widely applied wet-lab technique to obtain an estimate of the overall similarity between the genomes of two organisms. To base the species concept for prokaryotes ultimately on DDH was chosen by microbiologists as a pragmatic approach for deciding about the recognition of novel species, but also allowed a relatively high degree of standardization compared to oth...

Thalassospira bacteria are widespread and have been isolated from various marine environments. Less is known about their genetic diversity and biogeography, as well as their role in marine environments, many of them cannot be discriminated merely using the 16S rRNA gene. To address these issues, in this report, the phylogenetic analysis of 58 strains from seawater and deep sea sediments were ca...

DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) has been used for nearly 50 years as the gold standard for prokaryotic species circumscriptions at the genomic level. It has been the only taxonomic method that offered a numerical and relatively stable species boundary, and its use has had a paramount influence on how the current classification has been constructed. However, now, in the era of genomics, DDH appears ...

BACKGROUND Congenital dislocation of the knee (CDK) is a very rare condition that comprises a spectrum of deformities from subluxation to complete dislocation. The incidence of CDK is estimated at 1 per 100,000 live births, which is 1% of the incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Moreover, 40-100% of patients with CDK have additional musculoskeletal anomalies, the most common b...

BACKGROUND The risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants from unifetal pregnancies are commonly known. Many of these factors also apply to multiple pregnancies. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the influence of selected, widely recognized DDH risk factors in unifetal pregnancy on the development of hip joints in infants from multiple pregnancies. The following ri...

PURPOSE Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is common, and the term encompasses a spectrum of anatomical abnormalities of the hip in which the femoral head displaces from the acetabulum. These abnormalities may be congenital or develop during infancy and/or childhood. Neither the prenatal and postnatal factors that predispose to hip instability nor the determinants of its resolution or per...

BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common orthopaedic disorder in newborns. Despite this considerable variation in practice exists. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical relevance and a ranking order for the diagnostic criteria in DDH amongst paediatric orthopaedic surgeons practicing in the UK. METHOD One hundred members of the British Society of Ch...

background: developmental dysplasia of hip (ddh) is a common childhood disorder, and ultrasonography examination is routinely used for screening purposes. in this study, we aimed to evaluate a modified combined static and dynamic   ultrasound technique for the detection of ddh and to compare with the results of static and dynamic ultrasound techniques.       methods: in this cross-sectional stu...
