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...

We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with oto-spondylo-megaepiphyseal dysplasia, which is a rare skeletal disorder, who underwent bilateral total hip arthroplasty. Full-scale three-dimensional plaster model of the acetabulum and the femur provided us with a feasible preoperative plan. Pre- and postoperative three-dimensional motion analyses proved a significant improvement in her ambulati...

1. Acknowledge the spectrum of hip pathology included in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). 2. Identify newborns at risk for DDH. 3. Diagnose hip dislocations by using appropriate physical examination maneuvers. 4. Appropriately use imaging modalities to screen for DDH in infants who have normal or equivocal physical findings. 5. Recognize the presentation of hip dislocation in the older...

Il est incontestable que les troubles du développement de la hanche sont un sujet d’une importance capitale en pédiatrie. Le terme dysplasie comprend large spectre malformations sévérité très variable qui, non décelées ou traitées, peuvent avoir des conséquences graves à court long pour personne concernée. «luxation congénitale hanche» (congenital dyslocation of the hip, CDH) utilisé auparavant...

Certain deformities of the hip joint seem to predispose the hip to the development of osteoarthrosis. Successful surgical correction of these deformities before the onset of osteoarthrosis requires accurate characterization of the anatomic deviations from normal as the first step in planning corrective osteotomy. Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) reconstruction in planning reconstructi...

Patients with neglected developmental dysplasia (DDH) face with early osteoarthritis of the hip, limb length inequality and marked disability while total hip reconstruction is the only available choice.DDH has severe morphologic consequences, with distorted bony anatomy and soft tissue contractures around the hip. It is critical to evaluate patients thoroughly before surgery.Anatomic reconstruc...

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...

Acetabular dysplasia is one of the most common sources of hip arthritis. With the recent innovation in hip arthroscopy, the question has been raised whether arthroscopy can be used to treat dysplastic hip conditions. The purposes of this systematic review are (i) describe the prevalence of intra-articular pathologies and (ii) report the outcomes of dysplastic hip treatment with hip arthroscopy ...

Hip dysplasia is a common orthopaedic developmental disorder of dogs. This paper reviews the treatment options available for management of the condition in the skeletally immature and adult dog.

  Background: The prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. Several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. In this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   Methods: Four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early ...
