This report presents the unusual case of a 5-year-old girl with iliac fracture just after Salter innominate osteotomy for developmental dysplasia of the hip. The iliac fracture was diagnosed two days after Salter innominate osteotomy, and computed tomography (CT) revealed that it was at the extremely thin portion of the iliac wing called the “iliac fossa.” We were able to reduce the fracture by pulling the left leg distally, and after reducing the iliac bone, the ilium was fixed by Kirschner wire from the anteroinferior iliac spine and anterosuperior iliac spine. The patient was in a hip-spica cast for 6 weeks postoperatively and allowed to walk from 3 months after the surgery. At the last follow-up one year after the surgery, bone union was completely obtained, and she had no complications. The cause of the fracture seems to be the stress concentration on the iliac fossa due to the cranked iliac osteotomy line passing through the iliac fossa. The current case indicates the importance of careful evaluation by CT before surgery and ensuring that the osteotomy line does not extend near the iliac fossa.

Hip’s open reduction combined with Salter innominate osteotomy and femoral osteotomy is the treatment of choice when treating Developmental Dislocation of the Hip (DDH) at walking age. We report a case of a five-year-old girl who underwent a failed surgical procedure of hip’s open reduction, Salter innominate osteotomy, and the femoral osteotomy. One year later, one-stage surgical procedure of hip’s open reduction, Dega pelvic osteotomy, and femoral de-rotation varus shortening osteotomy was performed. During the five-year follow-up, the clinical outcome was evaluated as excellent. The Dega pelvic osteotomy is an effective pelvic osteotomy for DDH, in a case of a failed Salter osteotomy.

Abstract Background: Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) management is challenging hence there is no fixed rules or radiographic criteria to assess and manage DDH. There are many treating modalities including closed reduction, open reduction, skin traction, hip Spica and many others. This study is to assess the outcome of closed reduction in patients below 12 months of ages.Method: A retrospective study among patients with DDH who underwent closed reduction before the first year of age in a major referral medical center. The study included 100 patients and 168 hips. Average of follow up period was 5.97 years (±3.01). Couple of variables were measured in AP x ray of pelvis to assess the outcome of closed reduction. Results: Most of the hips were grade 1 and 2 according to the IHDI (International hip dysplasia institution) classification. Significant improvement in the acetabular index post closed reduction. In addition to the normalizing of CE angel's values. Also, majority of hips were severin's class 1 and 2 which were associated with good outcome.Conclusion: Safe closed reduction in patients with DDH below one year of age had a great outcome, less AVN, less growth complications and decrease the need of future open reduction.

Aims The goal of closed reduction (CR) in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is to achieve and maintain concentricity of the femoral head in the acetabulum. However, concentric reduction is not immediately attainable in all hips and it remains controversial to what degree a non-concentric reduction is acceptable. This prospective study is aimed at investigating the dynamic evolution of the hip joint space after CR in DDH using MRI. Methods A consecutive series of patients with DDH who underwent CR since March 2014 were studied. Once the safety and stability were deemed adequate intraoperatively, reduction was accepted regardless of concentricity. Concentricity was defined when the superior joint space (SJS) and medial joint space (MJS) were both less than 2 mm, based on MRI. A total of 30 children, six boys and 24 girls, involving 35 hips, were recruited for the study. The mean age at CR was 13.7 months (3.5 to 27.6) and the mean follow-up was 49.5 months (approximately four years) (37 to 60). The joint space was evaluated along with the interval between the inverted and everted limbus. Results Only three hips (8.6%) were fully concentric immediately after CR. During follow-up, 24 hips (68.6%) and 27 hips (77.1%) became concentric at six months and one year, respectively. Immediate SJS after CR decreased from 3.51 mm to 0.79 mm at six months follow-up (p = 0.001). SJS in the inverted group decreased from 3.75 mm to 0.97 mm at six months follow-up. SJS or MJS in the everted group were less than those in the inverted group at each time of follow-up (p = 0.008, p = 0.002). Conclusion A stable, safe but non-concentric reduction achieved before the age of two years appears to improve over time with nearly 80% of hips becoming fully concentric by one year.

Background and Purpose. The Salter innominate osteotomy has been an effective method to treat the developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) over the past decades; however, several postoperative complications and deficiencies were reported. In this study, we evaluated outcome of a newly modified Salter osteotomy in patients presenting with DDH. Methods. We reviewed retrospectively 76 patients (90 hips) with DDH aged ≥ 18 months, who underwent open reduction and a modified osteotomy by a single surgeon. The distal osteotomy segment of pelvis was shifted anterolaterally in the amount of osteotomy cross-section, but not downwards. The mean age at surgery was 2 years and 11 months (1.5 to 16 years). Femoral shortening was conducted when necessary. The duration of operation varied between 60 and 90 minutes. The mean follow-up was 4 years and one month (range 15 months to 7 years and 9 months). All patients were followed up both clinically (based on the modified MacKay criteria) and radiologically (based on the modified Severin criteria). Results. Clinically, 94.5% of hips had excellent and good results at final follow-up, and only 5.5% had a fair condition. Radiographically, at the final follow-up 77.8% of hips were grade IA (excellent), 12.2% were grade IB, 6.7% were grade II, and 3.3% were grade III (fair). The preoperative mean acetabular index was 47.85° (41° to 59), which decreased to 17.16° (13° to 22°) immediately after the surgery (p<0.0001) and progressed to 11.24° (7° to 19°) at the final follow-up (p<0.0001). The mean initial postoperative center-edge angle was 30.3° (25° to 42°) significantly improved to 39.1 (31° to 56°) at the final follow-up (p<0.0001). Avascular necrosis of femoral head occurred in 4.4% of hips (4 patients). Conclusion. The results show that our modified Salter osteotomy is safe and associated with significant benefit for the management of patients suffering from DDH.

Hidden caries is the term used to describe carious lesions that are not visualized clinically on erupted teeth but can be detected radiographically. The exact etiology remains an area of controversy. The purpose of the current case report was to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of two mandibular premolars with hidden caries. After diagnosis was established, both premolars were treated with indirect pulp caps and resin-based composite restorations. A one year follow up appointment revealed both teeth to be free from signs and symptoms of inflammation.

Introduction. Use of Pavlik harness for the treatment of DDH can be complicated for parents. Any misuse or failure in the adjustments may lead to significant complications. An abduction brace was introduced in our institution, as it was thought to be easier to use.Aim. We assess the results for the treatment of DDH using our abduction brace in children of 0–6 months old and compare these results with data on treatments using the Pavlik harness.Method. Retrospective analysis of patients with DDH from 0 to 6 months old at diagnosis, performed from 2004 to 2009. Outcomes were rates of reduction of the hip and avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN). Follow-up was at one year and up to 4 years old.Results. Hip reduction was successful in 28 of 33 patients (85%), with no AVN.Conclusion. Our results in terms of hip reduction rate and AVN rate are similar to those found in literature assessing Pavlik harness use, with a simpler and comfortable treatment procedure.
