Objective Closed reduction (CR) is a noninvasive treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), and this treatment is confirmed intraoperatively. This study aimed to develop a preoperative estimation model of the probability of requiring open reduction (OR) for DDH. Methods The study design was cross-sectional by screening all patients younger than 2 years who had attempted CR between October 2012 and July 2016 by a single surgeon. Potential diagnostic determinants were sex, age, side, bilaterality, International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) grade, and acetabular index (AI). An intraoperative arthrogram was the reference standard. A logistic regression equation was built from a reduced model. Bootstrapping was performed for internal validity. Results A total of 164 hips in 104 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analysed. The prevalence of CR was 72.2%. Independent factors for OR were older age, higher IHDI grade, and lower AI. The probability of OR = 1/[1 + exp − (−2.753 + 0.112 × age (months) + 1.965 × IHDI grade III (0 or 1) + 3.515 × IHDI grade IV (0 or 1) − 0.058 × AI (degrees)]. The area under the curve was 0.79. Conclusion This equation is an objective tool that can be used to estimate the requirement for OR.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a one of the most common congenital abnormalities. It presents with the wide spectrum of anatomical features due to the mild or incomplete formation of the acetabulum leading to laxity of the joint capsule, secondary deformity of the proximal femur head and irreducible hip dislocation. It present with an estimated incidence ranging from 1.4 to 35.0 per 1000 newborns with higher prevalence in Asian, Mediterranean, Caucasian, and American populations with a sex-ratio of girls to boys as 4-10:1. The risk of complications after treatment is associated with the type of reduction and also depends of previous treatment and immobilization, degree of dislocation, patient’s age at surgery. This study is a cross-sectional study with DDH patients born between January 2018 and December 2019, in the city of Al Najaf, Iraq. Ethnicity, gender, fetal presentation, time of diagnosis, affected side of the hip, family history and avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN) complications were considered. Post-operative clinical and radiological evaluation was preformed depending on McKay’s criteria and Severin’s classification. A total of 49 DDH patients were identified with female:male ratio of 7,2:1. Among girls, the time of diagnosis was 2,68 ±1,14 years, in the group of boys this indicator was 3,4 ±1,02 years, р=0,231. In both gender group the bilateral process was most common (66,7% in male group and 58,9% in female group). In 30% patient the family history was positive. Normal vaginal delivery was in 69,4% cases (67,4 and 83,3% girls and boys). Breech presentation was observed exclusively in female group. In 14% cases a combination of DDH with other malformations was revealed, in most cases it was joint laxity, less common minor congenital malformations. In 30% patients the closed bilateral reduction was performed. 46 patients were undergoing open reduction. Complications of DDH were detected in 29% cases. Most common was avascular necrosis in varying degrees (35%), 14% patients had early osteoarthritis, 21% local infections. The post-operative clinical McKay’s criteria showed prevalence of excellent and good results. Findings of the post-operative radiographic assessment (Severins grade method) were excellent in 21 hips, good in 14 hips. Сonsequently, late diagnosis of DDH leads worth outcomes, requires surgical interventions and causes increasing frequency of complications.

Abstract Introduction Without a prompt diagnosis, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants can lead to severe sequelae. Current screening strategies emphasize the use of Ortolani and Barlow physical examination manoeuvres, yet they exhibit low sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new physical examination tool (the pronation manoeuvre) as a screening tool for DDH. Methods To evaluate the new manoeuvre, a cross-sectional and analytic study was performed with a nonprobabilistic sampling method. Patients with either a positive Ortolani or Barlow manoeuver were evaluated with the new manoeuvre and hip ultrasound. Controls were infants with negative Ortolani, Barlow and pronation manoeuvres and also had ultrasound performed. Results DDH was confirmed in 83 of 130 cases (64%) and 2 of 130 controls (2%). The new pronation manoeuvre had a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 94% as compared to the Ortolani and Barlow manoeuvres (sensitivity 31 to 32%, specificity 93 to 100%) (P<0.05). Conclusion This new physical examination manoeuvre could serve as another clinical tool for the initial screening of DDH in newborns. Its promising results against traditional screening procedures might potentially impact diagnosis and prognosis for patients with DDH.

The term ‘developmental dysplasia of the hip’ (DDH) includes a wide spectrum of hip alterations: neonatal instability; acetabular dysplasia; hip subluxation; and true dislocation of the hip. DDH alters hip biomechanics, overloading the articular cartilage and leading to early osteoarthritis. DDH is the main cause of total hip replacement in young people (about 21% to 29%). Development of the acetabular cavity is determined by the presence of a concentrically reduced femoral head. Hip subluxation or dislocation in a child will cause an inadequate development of the acetabulum during the remaining growth. Clinical screening (instability manoeuvres) should be done universally as a part of the physical examination of the newborn. After two or three months of life, limited hip abduction is the most important clinical sign. Selective ultrasound screening should be performed in any child with abnormal physical examination or in those with high-risk factors (breech presentation and positive family history). Universal ultrasound screening has not demonstrated its utility in diminishing the incidence of late dysplasia. Almost 90% of patients with mild hip instability at birth are resolved spontaneously within the first eight weeks and 96% of pathologic changes observed in echography are resolved spontaneously within the first six weeks of life. However, an Ortolani-positive hip requires immediate treatment. When the hip is dislocated or subluxated, a concentric and stable reduction without forceful abduction needs to be obtained by closed or open means. Pavlik harness is usually the first line of treatment under the age of six months. Hip arthrogram is useful for guiding the decision of performing a closed or open reduction when needed. Acetabular dysplasia improves in the majority due to the stimulus provoked by hip reduction. The best parameter to predict persistent acetabular dysplasia at maturity is the evolution of the acetabular index. Pelvic or femoral osteotomies should be performed when residual acetabular dysplasia is present or in older children when a spontaneous correction after hip reduction is not expected. Avascular necrosis is the most serious complication and is related to: an excessive abduction of the hip; a force closed reduction when obstacles for reduction are present; a maintained dislocated hip within the harness or spica cast; and a surgical open reduction.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2019;4:548-556.
