Abstract Introduction Controversy exists surrounding the efficacy of the UK screening programme for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Method Clinical records were reviewed in children who were treated surgically for DDH. Demographic data, age and mode of presentation, and surgical treatments were analysed, as well as outcomes, re-operation rate and AVN incidence. Late diagnosis was defined as greater than 4 months. Results 106 children (16 male, 90 female) underwent surgery from 1997 to 2018. 95 hips were operated for dislocation and 22 were operated for dysplasia. 13 patients had bilateral dislocations. Of the dislocated hips, the median age at diagnosis was 9 months (IQR 2-19). 56% were diagnosed late. In the late diagnosis group the median age for diagnosis was 19 months (IQR 15-21). We have identified an increasing trend in late presentation in recent years. This has been matched with an increasing trend in operation rates for dislocation per 1000 births. Conclusions This study demonstrates that DDH is being diagnosed increasingly late, which correlates with an increased need for surgical management. This suggests that the current UK screening programme is failing to identify children with DDH in a timely fashion, which necessitates more aggressive surgical treatment and less favourable outcomes.

Late Discovery

Introduction. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) represents one of common diseases of the locomotor system. Late discovery and inadequate healing of this defect leads to serious disability in the best years of human life. Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of functional and anatomic restitution of the diseased hip, depending on the age of the patient at the time of surgery. Methods. Our retrospective study was developed on 78 children surgically treated for DDH. The examiners were distributed in three groups according to age in which they had been operated. The data were produced on the basis of full-scale medical documents for each patient. Results. We analyzed and compared anatomic and functional results of surgeries treating DDH in the group of examiners. On examination, we got data that the most prevalent were distorted gait, inequality of the legs and positive Trendelendburg?s sign in the group of children who had been operated in the oldest age. The patients who were surgically treated in older age had worse postoperative results in aspect value angle of flexion and abduction in treated hip, higher frequency in manifesting pain and asymmetric gait. Better corrective results on aspect of dimension of the colodiaphyseal and Hilgenrainer?s angle will be obtained if DDH treatment is conducted in younger age of patients. In 94.95%, the patients were treated with Salter innominate osteotomy of pelvis with osteotomy of the femur involving its shortening and reverse rotation. Preoperative treatment with Pavliks harness was provided in 44.02% children, with abduction of Hilgenrainer?s apparatus in 2.6%, with abductions ?Niva? slips in 2.6% and preoperative extension in 28.2%. Conclusion. The surgical treatment of DDH in the observed patients done at the earlier age of growth resulted in the evidently better anatomical and functional results at postoperative observation.

ObjectiveThe ‘GP check’ at 6–8 weeks forms part of the selective surveillance system for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in the UK. It is imperative to pick up DDH within the first months of life to allow for non-invasive treatment and the avoidance of surgery. We aim to investigate the effectiveness of hip examination at 6–8 weeks.MethodsThis is a longitudinal observational study including all infants born in our region in the 5 years following 2006. Early presentation was defined as diagnosis within 14 weeks of birth and late presentation after 14 weeks. Treatment records for early and late DDH as well as referrals for ultrasound (US) following examination at 6–8 weeks were analysed. Attendance of the examination at 6–8 weeks in those patients who went on to present with a late DDH was also analysed.Results23 112 live births occurred during the study period. There were 141 confirmed cases of DDH. 400 referrals for US were received following examination at 6–8 weeks; 6 of these had a positive finding of DDH. 27 patients presented after 14 weeks and were classified as late presentations. 25 of these patients had attended examination at 6–8 weeks and no abnormality had been identified.ConclusionsThe sensitivity of examination at 6–8 weeks was only 19.4%, its specificity was 98% and it had a positive predictive value of 1.5%. For many years the check at 6–8 weeks has been thought of as a means to identify those children not identified as neonates; however, we found that four out of five children with DDH were not identified by the check at 6–8 weeks. Unfortunately, we conclude that the presumed safety net of the examination in its current form is not reliable.

Introduction: Treatment of developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) diagnosed after 10 years of age is extremely difficult because of the soft tissue and bone deformities. In this study, we evaluated short-term results of a single-stage procedure performed with surgical hip dislocation, femoral shortening and capsular arthroplasty. Patients and Methods: A retrospective review of charts of five patients with DDH, older than 10 years, who underwent capsular arthroplasty at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital between 2013 and 2015 was performed. Post-operative functional evaluation was performed using modified McKay’s scoring system and radiographic assessment using Severin’s scoring method at a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Results: We present results of five patients (six hips) with a mean age of 18.16 years. All patients had limping gait and International Hip dysplasia Institute classification (IHDI) class 4 hip dislocation. Harris hip score showed a significant improvement (53.13 vs 84.16; p = 0.0001). Femoral shortening of 2–2.5 cm was done. Additional shelf procedure was required in one patient. This patient persistently has post-operative hip subluxation. All patients had good to excellent outcomes according to McKay classification. Post-operative Severin classification was 1A in all patients. No case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head was noted during the follow-up. Conclusion: Capsular arthroplasty with subtrochanteric shortening is a useful procedure for neglected cases of DDH in patients older than 10 years.
