Developmental dysplasia of the hip is best treated during infancy. Residual dysplasia is a major cause of disability and should be corrected surgically at an early age. Children 3-8 years of age are usually treated with an acetabular reshaping osteotomy, such as the Pemberton procedure or the San Diego osteotomy. Children over age 8-10 years are best treated using triple innominate osteotomy. A...

Objectives: To assess the relation between the prevalence of canine hip dysplasia, inbreeding and genetic diversity by breed. Methods: Retrospective pedigree analysis of 9 breeds based on a reference population of 41,728 individuals, and hip dysplasia assessment in 1745 dogs. Results: Hip dysplasia was less common among breeds with higher coefficient of inbreeding, lower genetic diversity, and ...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) is one of the most widely discussed abnormalities in neonates. the advantages of sonographic examination are well known, but its main disadvantage is that it might lead to over diagnosis, which might cause over treatment. variations in the incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip are well known. during six months study since september 2006 all 130...

The association between idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) and developmental dysplasia of the hip is uncertain. We present an observational cohort study spanning 6.5 years of selective ultrasound screening of hips in clubfoot. From 119 babies with CTEV there were nine cases of hip dysplasia, in seven individuals. This suggests that 1 in 17 babies with CTEV will have underlying hip...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hip dysplasia can be treated with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). We compared joint angles and joint moments during walking and running in young adults with hip dysplasia prior to and 6 and 12 months after PAO with those in healthy controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS Joint kinematics and kinetics were recorded using a 3-D motion capture system. The pre- and postoperative gai...

In Norway total joint replacement after hip dysplasia is reported more commonly than in neighbouring countries, implying a higher prevalence of the condition. We report on the prevalence of radiological features associated with hip dysplasia in a population of 2081 19-year-old Norwegians. The radiological measurements used to define hip dysplasia were Wiberg's centre-edge (CE) angle at threshol...

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...

In a longitudinal case-control study, we followed 81 subjects with dysplasia of the hip and 136 control subjects without dysplasia for ten years assessing radiological evidence of degeneration of the hip at admission and follow-up. There were no cases of subluxation in the group with dysplasia. Neither subjects with dysplasia nor controls had radiological signs of ongoing degenerative disease a...

We studied the proportion of developmental dysplasia of spastic hip in children with cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy aged 2-12 years were enrolled. Migration percentage was measured on pelvic radiographs. Hip dysplasia was seen in 15 (12.7%) children.

The practice of regular radiological follow-up of infants with a positive family history of developmental dysplasia of the hip is based on the widespread belief that primary acetabular dysplasia is a genetic disorder which can occur in the absence of frank subluxation or dislocation. We reviewed all infants who were involved in our screening programme for developmental dysplasia of the hip, bet...
