Delayed diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in Northern Ireland

Aims To determine the likelihood of achieving a successful closed reduction (CR) of a dislocated hip in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after failed Pavlik harness treatment We report the rate of avascular necrosis (AVN) and the need for further surgical procedures. Methods Data was obtained from the Northern Ireland DDH database. All children who underwent an attempted closed reduction between 2011 and 2016 were identified. Children with a dislocated hip that failed Pavlik harness treatment were included in the study. Successful closed reduction was defined as a hip that reduced in theatre and remained reduced. Most recent imaging was assessed for the presence of AVN using the Kalamchi and MacEwen classification. Results There were 644 dislocated hips in 543 patients initially treated in Pavlik harness. In all, 67 hips failed Pavlik harness treatment and proceeded to arthrogram (CR) under general anaesthetic at an average age of 180 days. The number of hips that were deemed reduced in theatre was 46 of the 67 (69%). A total of 11 hips re-dislocated and underwent open reduction, giving a true successful CR rate of 52%. For the total cohort of 67 hips that went to theatre for arthrogram and attempted CR, five (7%) developed clinically significant AVN at an average follow-up of four years and one month, while none of the 35 hips whose reduction was truly successful developed clinically significant AVN. Conclusion The likelihood of a successful closed reduction of a dislocated hip in the Northern Ireland population, which has failed Pavlik harness treatment, is 52% with a clinically significant AVN rate of 7%. As such, we continue to advocate closed reduction under general anaesthetic for the hip that has failed Pavlik harness. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(8):584–588.

Dysplasia Of The Hip

ABSTRACT Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is one of the most common orthopedic hip diseases of the pediatric population. There is a predominance in females and patients with known risk factors. Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of DDH in a reference center and compare them with the literature. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study based on the review of medical records and radiographs from which epidemiological data such as laterality, age at diagnosis, acetabular index, radiographic classification and others were collected. Results: A total of 297 medical records were found between May 1974 and June 2009. Of those, 147 patients (216 affected hips) were eligible for the survey. Most of the patients came from the state of São Paulo (91.1%), were born in autumn/winter (66.7%), reported as Caucasians (76.9%), with bilateral involvement (46.9%) and mean age at diagnosis of 22.8 months. Conclusion: The most frequent type of DDH was high dislocation (28.7%), and the acetabular index progressively increased with the age. The International Hip Dysplasia Institute classification was found to be more reproducible than Tönnis classification. Delayed diagnosis was associated with the absence of risk factors and with bilaterality. Level of Evidence III, Retrospective comparative study.

Objective Tool

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.

Dysplasia Of The Hip

Hip joint ultrasonographic (US) imaging is the golden standard for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) screening. However, the effectiveness of this technique is subject to interoperator and intraobserver variability. Thus, a multi-detection deep learning artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system was developed and evaluated. The deep learning model used a two-stage training process to segment the four key anatomical structures and extract their respective key points. In addition, the check angle of the ilium body balancing level was set to evaluate the system’s cognitive ability. Hence, only images with visible key anatomical points and a check angle within ±5° were used in the analysis. Of the original 921 images, 320 (34.7%) were deemed appropriate for screening by both the system and human observer. Moderate agreement (80.9%) was seen in the check angles of the appropriate group (Cohen’s κ = 0.525). Similarly, there was excellent agreement in the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value between the measurers of the alpha angle (ICC = 0.764) and a good agreement in beta angle (ICC = 0.743). The developed system performed similarly to experienced medical experts; thus, it could further aid the effectiveness and speed of DDH diagnosis.
