Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems in newborns. It occurs in 1in 1000 live births affecting girls more than boys and more associated with breech presentation and positive family history. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of arthrography in assessing the closed reduction of DDH. Study Design: Clinicial Study. Setting: This study was conducted at Allied Hospital, Faisalabad, Pakistan, Period: From December 2013 to January 2016 and comprised patients of either gender. Material & Methods: DDH was diagnosed with help of clinical examination and radiological investigations. Arthrography was performed and images were taken in different positions of the hip which were evaluated and findings noted. Results: Out of 50 hips, 34 had normal looking head of femur while 16 patients had head of femur which was either smaller than normal or of abnormal shape. Shape of acetabulum was found normal in 41 hips. Normal labrum was present in 44, inverted in 4 and everted in 2 patients. Ligamentum teres was found hypertrophic in 6 patients. Normal head coverage was present in 40 while in 10 hips head of femur was lateralized ≥ 4 mm. No external obstruction to reduction was encountered. In 44 cases reduction was concentric and eccentric reduction was noted in 6 patients. Conclusion: Arthrography is of special help in assessing the reduction of hip in DDH as it provides information about shape of head of femur, shape of acetabulum, labrum, ligamentum teres, containment of the hip, coverage of head and external obstacles to reduction.

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

Purpose We aimed to revisit the correlation between the previously defined risk factors and the occurrence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and to assess the influence of these factors on the ultrasonographic type of hip dysplasia according to the Graf’s classification in patients with DDH. Methods Data of healthy infants (mean age 33 days) who had bilateral mature (normal) hips (Graf type I) were compared with the data of infants (mean age 105 days) who were treated by abduction brace due to unilateral or bilateral DDH (Graf type IIa- and worse hips). Results Infants with at least one risk factor had a significantly higher rate of DDH than those with no risk factors (p < 0.001). Likewise, infants with more than one risk factor had a significantly higher rate of DDH than those with only one risk factor (p = 0.008). Family history, breech presentation and swaddling were found to be the three significant risk factors related to the development of DDH. Family history, swaddling and oligohydramnios were found to be the three significant risk factors correlated with a higher rate of unstable/decentred hip(s) (Graf types D/III/IV) in patients with DDH. Conclusion The risk of DDH significantly increases in infants who have more than one risk factor for DDH. Positive family history and postnatal traditional swaddling are the two main factors both in the aetiology of DDH and in development of a more severe hip dysplasia in patients with DDH. Besides, breech presentation increases the risk of development of DDH and oligohydramnios leads to development of a more severe hip dysplasia in patients with DDH. By introducing these four variables as ‘absolute risk factors for DDH’ to the selective newborn hip screening programmes, the sensitivity and specificity of these programmes may be optimized and the risk of delayed diagnosis may be lessened.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of early universal ultrasound (US) screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Study design: A prospective study of universal hip screening of all mature neonates was conducted from 2012 to 2013, at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Szeged; 1636 newborns (3272 hips) had clinical examinations and hip ultrasound by the Graf method within the1st 3 days of life. Prevalence of DDH, risk factors, sensitivity and specificity of clinical examinations were evaluated. Results: At the 1st US, 70 of the examined 3272 hips (2.14%) were found to be positive. According to Graf categories, the following distribution was observed: type II C, 21 hips (30.0%); D, 24 hips (34.28%); III, 24 hips (34.28%); IV, 1 hip (1.44%). Regarding the risk factors, female gender, breech presentation and positive family history proved to be significant. Interestingly, 28 (50.90%) of the 55 newborns with DDH had neither positive physical signs nor any risk factors, except being female. The physical examination was calculated for sensitivity (20.0%) and specificity (98.34%). Conclusions: In our 1-year period study, 50.9% of the newborns with DDH had neither any positive physical signs nor any risk factors, except being a female. In contrast, early universal US screening of the hip facilitated to diagnose all cases with hip dysplasia. Hip sonography is an effective mode of prevention in orthopaedics, however further studies are needed to compare the rates of operative procedures in selective versus universal screening models.

BACKGROUND: Studies investigating the association between developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and risk factors in Saudi Arabia are rare. OBJECTIVE: Investigate the association between DDH and several risk factors among Saudi children. METHODS: The medical records of 82 children born in or admitted to King Abdul Aziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with clinical suspicion of hip dislocation (HD) were included. The association between DDH and the following risk factors was investigated: age < 3 y, female-gender, twinning, first-born child, C-section, breech presentation, prematurity, positive family history and presence of associated abnormalities. RESULTS: HD was confirmed in 73 (89%) children (Positive HD) and excluded in 9 (11%) children (Negative HD). Eleven (13.4%) children were excluded from the positive cases as it was confirmed that they have paralytic hip dislocation not DDH. DDH was confirmed in 62 children (75.6%). The Chi square test (χ2) and odds ratios (OR) revealed that the positive family history, female-gender, age < 3 years, and presence of associated abnormalities had significant associations with the presence of DDH with P values and OR equal 0.00 (16.4), 0.002 (3.1), 0.005 (2.6), and 0.04 (1.9) respectively. Breech presentation, twinning, first-born children, prematurity, and C-section were not associated with DDH with P values and OR equal 0.93 (1.1), 0.46 (0.4), 0.11 (0.4), 0.08 (0.3), and 0.002 (0.3) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Positive family history, female-gender, age < 3 years, and presence of associated abnormalities had approximately 16, 3, 2.5, and 2 times increased risk for DDH.

Abstract: Developmental dysplasia of the hip refers to a continuum of abnormalities of the immature hip that can range from subtle dysplasia to dislocation. The identification of risk factors, including breech presentation and family history, should heighten a physician’s suspicion of this condition. The diagnosis is based on physical examination. Palpable hip instability, unequal leg lengths, and asymmetric thigh skinfolds may be present in newborns with a hip dislocation, whereas gait abnormalities and limited hip abduction are more common in older children. The role of ultrasonography is controversial, but it is generally used to confirm the diagnosis and to assess hip development once the treatment is initiated. Bracing is the first-line treatment in children aged less than six months. Surgery is an option for children with unsuccessful non-operative treatment and in children who are diagnosed after six months of age. It is important to confirm the diagnosis of the developmental dysplasia of the hip in the early stage to improve the result of treatment and to decrease the risks of complications. Keywords: hip, developmental dysplasia, immature, instability, bracing   Abstrak: Displasia perkembangan panggul mengacu pada serangkaian abnormalitas pada panggul imatur yang mencakup displasia ringan hingga dislokasi. Identifikasi faktor-faktor risiko yang meliputi letak sungsang dan riwayat keluarga, harus menigkatkan kecurigaan dokter akan displasia perkembangan panggul. Diagnosis ditegakkan melalui pemeriksaan fisik. Instabilitas panggul yang dapat dipalpasi, panjang tungkai yang tidak sama, dan lipatan kulit paha yang asimetris dapat ditemukan pada bayi baru lahir dengan dislokasi panggul, sedangkan abnormalitas gait dan keterbatasan abduksi panggul lebih umum pada anak-anak yang lebih tua. Peran ultrasonografi masih kontroversial tetapi secara umum untuk mengonfirmasi diagnosis dan menilai perkembangan panggul sejak dimulainya perawatan. Penggunaan brace merupakan perawatan lini pertama pada anak-anak berusia kurang dari enam bulan. Pembedahan merupakan pilihan bagi anak-anak dengan perawatan nonoperatif yang gagal dan pada anak-anak yang didiagnosis setelah berusia enam bulan. Displasia perkembangan panggul sangat penting ditegakkan sejak dini untuk meningkatkan hasil perawatan dan mengurangi risiko komplikasi.

Dysplasia Of The Hip

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint in which the femoral head has an abnormal relationship with the acetabulum. Most studies report an incidence of 1 to 34 cases per 1,000 live births and differences could be due to different diagnostic methods and timing of evaluation. Risk factors include first born status, female sex, positive family history, breech presentation and oligohydramnios. Clinical presentations of DDH depend on the age of the child. Newborns present with hip instability, infants have limited hip abduction on examination, and older children and adolescents present with limping, joint pain, and/or osteoarthritis. Repeated, careful examination of all infants from birth and throughout the first year of life until the child begins walking is important to prevent late cases. Provocative testing includes the Barlow and Ortolani maneuvers. Other signs, such as shorting of the femur with hips and knees flexed (Galeazzi sign), asymmetry of the thigh or gluteal folds, and discrepancy of leg lengths are potential clues. Treatment depends on age at presentation and outcomes are much better when the child is treated early, particularly during the first six months of life.
