developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) is the most frequent developmental disorder of the locomotor system. it is detected among 0.1–5.2% of newborns (1, 2). this might be the reason, that there is a high interest to detect ddh cases as early as possible. undetected or late cases lead to catastrophes for the patient and family. limping, leg length discrepancy, pain, frequent operations and so...

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) refers to a spectrum of disease, including hips that are unstable, subluxated, dislocated, and/or has dysplastic acetabula. Feet deformities such as clubfoot were mentioned in the literature as associated congenital anomalies in DDH patient with variable results. Multiple studies reported the correlation between DDH and congenital muscular to...

not be. It is generally accepted by medical professionals that the manifestation of multigenetic disease during the lifetime of a gene carrier depends on certain environmental factors. This hip disorder can develop and even be exacerbated when certain environmental factors are present, but can also recede without further intervention following elimination of those same factors at an early devel...

INTRODUCTION Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is an important disease leading to osteoarthritis (OA), as it is well established that high stress concentrations during weight-bearing ambulation cause osteoarthritis. Historically, static geometric factors, e.g. center-edge (CE) angle, Sharp angle, Acetabular roof obliquity (ARO), and acetabular head index (AHI), have been used to quantify...

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 specific...

Ultrasound (US) imaging is recommended for early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), which includes a spectrum of hip joint abnormalities in infants. However, the currently standard 2-dimensional (2D) US-based approach to measuring the dysplasia metric (DM), namely the α angle, suffers from high within-hip variability with standard deviations typically ranging between 3◦ − 7◦...

PURPOSE Early detection and intervention for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is important for normal hip development. Previous studies have shown disparities in access to paediatric specialty care among different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. This study aims to identify whether these factors are related to timely referral for infants with DDH. METHODS A retrospective cohort s...

INTRODUCTION Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) affects 4-6 per 1000 live births in developed countries. Effective treatment to realign the hip is necessary to avoid long-term morbidities and maximise functional outcome. Treatment options depend on patient age but typically involve hip bracing and/or reduction under general anaesthetic. Some centres also employ prereduction hip traction. ...

BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can be detected with ultrasonography (USG) images. However, the accuracy of this method is dependent on the skill of the radiologist. Radiologists measure the hip joint angles without computer-based diagnostic systems. This causes mistakes in the diagnosis of DDH. OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to automate segmentation of DDH ultrasound ...

BACKGROUND This retrospective study was designed to determine complications, functional and radiographic results of transverse subtrochanteric osteotomy during cementless, modular total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a series of active patients younger than 45 years with Crowe Type-III or IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS We followed 49 patients (56 hips) with DDH who were treat...
