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...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip is one of the most common congenital musculoskeletal disorders of childhood, affecting 1-3% of newborns. An early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential to avoid complex treatments and achieve improved results. Since 1992, we have undertaken a screening programme for clinical instability and at risk patients. During this time, there have been only two cas...

INTRODUCTION Several studies have investigated walking characteristics in hip dysplasia patients, but so far none have described all hip rotational degrees of freedom during the whole gait cycle. This descriptive study reports 3D joint angles and torques, and furthermore extends previous studies with muscle and joint contact forces in 32 hip dysplasia patients and 32 matching controls. METHOD...

We observed the upward displacement of femoral heads in skeletal remains two females unearthed from medieval cemetery monastery Santa Maria Valle, Cividale del Friuli (North-Eastern Italy). Examination bone vestiges suggests diagnosis hip dislocation as consequence developmental dysplasia hip. In addition, youngest subject first sacral vertebra appears lumbarized and shows unilateral defect rig...

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the incidence of acetabular dysplasia at six months of age in patients with breech presentation and previously normal hip ultrasounds, reporting primary radiographic measurements to allow for comparison with other patient cohorts. METHODS A retrospective analysis of breech infants with initially normal clinical examinations and hip ultrasounds was perform...

BACKGROUND The work presents the results of total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of arthrosis secondary to for developmental dysplasia with high hip dislocation or corollary to previous surgery of dysplastic high riding hips. In all patients the cup was placed in its anatomical position. In order to avoid excessive lengthening of the operated limb and the associated complications, the femora...

INTRODUCTION Hip arthroscopy has become a standard procedure in the treatment of hip joint pain not related to osteoarthritis or dysplasia in the young and active patient. There has been increasing focus on the contribution of the hip capsule to function and on stability following hip arthroscopy. It has been suggested that capsular closure after hip arthroscopy may prevent microinstability and...
