Crowe I developmental dysplasia and primary osteoarthritis show comparable THA outcomes; preoperative function predicts MCID achievement.
Perspectives of patients and families impacted by developmental dysplasia of the hip.
Focus groups with DDH patients and caregivers revealed anxiety, activity limitations, decision-making burdens, and unmet support needs, informing a new patient/family advisory group to guide future DDH research.
Transposition osteotomy improved 20-year joint survival in dysplastic hips but did not significantly benefit borderline dysplastic hips, suggesting dysplasia severity should guide patient selection for surgery.
In 34 DDH hips undergoing periacetabular osteotomy, femoral head decentration on MRI decreased in extent but fully resolved in only about a third of patients, with persistence linked to excess femoral anteversion and greater intraarticular cartilage/labral degeneration.
In a series of 515 infants with idiopathic clubfoot, DDH prevalence matched population norms, indicating clubfoot alone does not warrant routine hip ultrasound screening in selective screening systems.
This bibliometric analysis of 25 years of DDH literature shows rapidly growing output led by North American and Western European researchers with strong international collaboration driving citation impact.
In THA with subtrochanteric osteotomy for Crowe IV DDH, autogenous bone plate wiring improved union rates versus stem press-fit alone, with poor canal fill/cortical apposition and older age as key nonunion risk factors.
A UK cost-effectiveness model found current selective DDH screening (exam plus ultrasound for risk factors) remains more cost-effective than universal ultrasound screening strategies.
In breech infants with normal 6-week hip ultrasounds, 9% later developed DDH by 6 months (especially girls), supporting routine follow-up imaging even after normal initial screening.
Childhood Opportunity Index and Severity at Diagnosis of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.
Lower childhood opportunity index was not associated with age, severity, or treatment success of developmental dysplasia of the hip at a tertiary urban center.
Breech presentation, family history, oligohydramnios, and female sex increase DDH risk three to four-fold; targeted screening warranted for these high-risk groups.
Narrative review outlines that THA after acetabular fractures, in adolescents, as fixation-failure conversions, or with hip dysplasia carries higher complication risk but can still yield good outcomes with careful planning.
International expert review found GPT-4's responses to DDH clinical scenarios varied significantly by region and had low interrater agreement, indicating AI chatbot guidance needs regional adaptation before clinical use.
A UK Delphi consensus among 128-132 clinicians produced 42 agreed statements and a flowchart guiding screening, ultrasound technique, and treatment of DDH in infants under three months.
