The objective of the paper is to analyse the role of the labrum with particular attention to its morphological changes in unstable dysplastic hips during treatment. Between January 2013 and December 2015, data were collected on 86 unstable, dysplastic hips, which were divided into type D (n = 13), type III (n = 49) and type IV (n = 24). The labrum was evaluated with ultrasound examination (US) for echogenicity and dimensions with inter-/intra-observer tests comparing the US images at diagnosis and at the end of treatment. Statistical analysis was performed. At the end of treatment of unstable, dysplastic hips, the labrum was more echogenic with a frequency of 97% and was larger with a frequency of 96%. The labrum has an active stabilizing role in unstable dysplastic hips and it undergoes a statistically significant increase of echogenicity and dimensions after treatment.

Purpose Early diagnosis and prevention of lateral growth disturbance of the capital femoral epiphysis is challenging after treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The aim of the study was to evaluate the radiographic changes of the Alsberg angle (AA) in normal children and those with DDH, and to assess the role of AA as a potential predictor of lateral growth disturbance of the capital femoral epiphysis. Methods AA was measured on the anterior-posterior pelvic radiographs of 1000 normal children ranging in age from one to ten years and in 66 children (92 hips) with DDH treated by closed reduction (CR). A comparative analysis was performed. Results In the normal children, mean AA decreased linearly with age, from 76° at age one year to 65° at age ten years, irrespective of gender and laterality. In children with DDH, the average AA was 81.5°(sd 3.9°; 74° to 87°) prior to CR; it was 75.9° (sd 4.5°; 68° to 83°) in normal children of the same age (p < 0.001). Among the 42 children (64 hips) with successfully and uneventfully treated DDH, AA reached normal values between the ages of five and six years. In contrast, children with lateral growth disturbance of the proximal femur physis (24 children, 28 hips) showed significantly higher AA values in comparison with the age-matched controls. Conclusion In DDH patients with successful CR, AA could be expected to match normal values in children between the ages of five and six years. On the other hand, AA can be used as an early predictor for lateral growth disturbance of the capital femoral epiphysis. Level of Evidence Level III

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to explore that how to equalize the leg length in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with shortening subtrochanteric osteotomy (SSTO) or not for unilateral Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) through the evaluation of the postoperative full-length anteroposterior radiographs. Methods: The postoperative radiographs of 60 patients with unilateral Crowe type IV DDH from July 2012 to May 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. These data included leg length, femoral length, height of center of rotation (COR) of hip, height of greater trochanter, and depth of the sleeve or cone. Patients with leg length discrepancy (LLD) < 10 mm were defined as the non-LLD group. Results: In the non LLD group (26 patients of SSTO and 22 of non-SSTO), the femoral length both SSTO and non-SSTO groups were significantly shorter on operated side, compared with the contralateral side, and the mean discrepancy in SSTO group was approximately equal to the mean length of SSTO. The mean height of COR of hip on operated sides both SSTO and non-SSTO groups were 13.2 mm, and the contralateral sides were 15.2 mm and 15.5 mm, respectively. The depth of the sleeve or cone between SSTO and non-SSTO groups were 21.7 mm and 30.6 mm, respectively. The depth of the sleeve or cone in SSTO group was negatively correlated with the length of SSTO. The height of the greater trochanter of the operated and contralateral sides were 5.3 mm and 16.6 mm in SSTO group, and those in the non-SSTO group were 13.2 mm and 17.2 mm. Conclusions: SSTO leaded to femoral shortening on the operated side for patients with unilateral Crowe type IV DDH. The position of sleeve or cone should be close to the apex of greater trochanter to compensate the lengh of SSTO.

Abstract Background The impact of high dislocated dysplastic hips on spinal-pelvic alignment has not been well described. This study aims to evaluate compensatory spinal radiographic changes and presence of back pain in patients with Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods An observational study was conducted from July 2016 to December 2017, and 49 consecutive patients with Crowe IV DDH were enrolled. Forty-nine sex- and age-matched asymptomatic healthy adults were recruited as the controls. The sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), spino-sacral angle (SSA), C7 tilt (C7T), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA [C7]) were measured on lateral whole spine radiographs. The presence of low back pain and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were recorded. Results The patients with Crowe IV DDH showed significantly greater SS (47.5 ± 7.5° vs. 40.4 ± 6.7°, p < 0.05), LL (− 63.7 ± 9.2° vs. − 53.3 ± 11.5°, P < 0.05), SSA (141.8° ± 7.2° vs. 130.6 ± 7.9°, p < 0.05), C7T (93.9 ± 3.6° vs. 91.1 ± 3.7°, P < 0.05), and lower SVA(C7) (− 16 mm[− 95–45] vs. 6.4 mm[− 52–47], p < 0.05) compared to the controls. The patients with bilateral Crowe IV DDH also exhibited larger SS, LL, SSA, and C7T and a smaller SVA (C7) than those with unilateral Crowe IV DDH. Sixty-three percent of the patients with Crowe IV DDH reported low back pain. Conclusion The patients with Crowe IV DDH exhibited abnormal spinal-pelvic alignment characterized by anterior pelvic tilt, lumbar hyperlordosis, and a backward-leaning trunk. Bilateral Crowe IV DDH had a greater impact on spinal-pelvic alignment than unilateral Crowe IV DDH.

Aims The significance of the ‘clicky hip’ in neonatal and infant examination remains controversial with recent conflicting papers reigniting the debate. We aimed to quantify rates of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in babies referred with ‘clicky hips’ to our dedicated DDH clinic. Patients and Methods A three-year prospective cohort study was undertaken between 2014 and 2016 assessing the diagnosis and treatment outcomes of all children referred specifically with ‘clicky hips’ as the primary reason for referral to our dedicated DDH clinic. Depending on their age, they were all imaged with either ultrasound scan or radiographs. Results There were 69 ‘clicky hip’ referrals over the three-year period. This represented 26.9% of the total 257 referrals received in that time. The mean age at presentation was 13.6 weeks (1 to 84). A total of 19 children (28%) referred as ‘clicky hips’ were noted to have hip abnormalities on ultrasound scan, including 15 with Graf Type II hips (7 bilateral), one Graf Type III hip, and three Graf Type IV hips. Of these, ten children were treated with a Pavlik harness, with two requiring subsequent closed reduction in theatre; one child was treated primarily with a closed reduction and adductor tenotomy. In total, 11 (15.9%) of the 69 ‘clicky hip’ referrals required intervention with either harness or surgery. Conclusion Our study provides further evidence that the ‘clicky hip’ referral can represent an underlying diagnosis of DDH and should, in our opinion, always lead to further clinical and radiological assessment. In the absence of universal ultrasound screening, we would encourage individual units to carefully assess their own outcomes and protocols for ‘clicky hip’ referrals and tailor ongoing service provision to local populations and local referral practices.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of three-dimensional (3D)-printed individualised guiding templates in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods: 12 hips in 12 patients with Crowe type IV DDH were treated with THA. A 3D digital model of the pelvis and lower limbs was reconstructed using the computed tomography data of the patients. Preoperative surgical simulations were performed to determine the most suitable surgical planning, including femoral osteotomy and prosthesis placement. Based on the ideal surgical planning, individualised guiding templates were designed by software, manufactured using a 3D printer, and used in acetabulum reconstruction and femoral osteotomy during surgery. Results: 12 patients were followed up for an average of 72.42 months (range 38–135 months). During surgery, the guiding template for each case was matched to the bony markers of the acetabulum and proximal femur. Preoperative and follow-up Harris hip scores were 34.2 ± 3.7 and 85.2 ± 4.2; leg length discrepancy, 51.5 ± 6.5 mm and 10.2 ± 1.5 mm; and visual analogue scale scores, 6.2 ± 0.8 and 1.3 ± 0.3, respectively, with statistical difference. Shortened deformity and claudication of the affected limb were obviously improved after surgery. However, 1 patient had artificial hip dislocation 2 weeks after surgery, and another patient had sciatic nerve traction injury, both of whom recovered after physical treatment. Conclusions: Preoperative surgical simulation and 3D-printed individualised guiding templates can fulfil surgeon-specific requirements for the treatment of Crowe type IV DDH. Accurate THA can be achieved using 3D-printed individualised templates, which provide a new personalised surgical plan for the precise positioning and orientation of acetabular reconstruction and femoral osteotomy.
