Our aim was to determine whether abnormalities noted on MRI immediately after reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip could predict the persistance of dysplasia and aid surgical planning. Scans of 13 hips in which acetabular dysplasia had resolved by the age of four years were compared with those of five which had required pelvic osteotomy for persisting dysplasia. The scans were analy...

Untreated acetabular dysplasia following treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) leads to early degenerative joint disease. Clinicians must accurately and reliably recognise dysplasia in order to intervene appropriately with secondary acetabular or femoral procedures. This study sought early predictors of residual dysplasia in order to establish empirically-based indications for ...

The aim of this study was to show the clinical and radiographic mid-term results Pembersal femoral osteotomy without open reduction in patients with mild dysplasia hip joint. This case series included 13 Developmental Dysplasia Hip (DDH) (13 hips), who underwent a combination between January 2014 June 2020. comprised 12 females (93%) 1 male (8%), mean age at surgery 24.29.40 months (range: 17-...

To the Editor: It was with great interest that we read the articles from the symposium on Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip published in April 2008. We participated in this symposium with the article ‘‘The Morphologic Variations of Low and High Hip Dislocation’’ [7]. We wish, however, to comment on the terminology ‘‘developmental dysplasia of the hip,’’ as used by most of this symposium’s auth...

BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip joint is one of the most common congenital defects and often results in functional and structural disorders. Such cases particularly demand optimizing therapeutic effects and maximally reducing the duration of therapy. PURPOSE The aim of this case report is to present the therapeutic process in a child with developmental hip dysplasia. CASE REPO...

There is no consensus on the definition of dysplasia of the hip (DH). Past and present concepts used to describe DH do not form a complete view of the pathology. Moreover, some authors still present the disease as congenital, not developmental. This prompted authors to analyze the evolution of the definition of DH. Based on the biomedical databases 500 articles and books in the field of hip dys...
