Long-term results after closed reduction of latedetected hip dislocation: 60 patients followed up to skeletal maturity

Abstract

The specific risk factors and the radiographic outcome--with satisfactory long-term results in nearly two-thirds of the patients--would be valuable for comparison with outcome studies after more modern treatment regimes.

Reliability of radiographic parameters in adults with hip dysplasia

“…The center-edge (CE) angle according to Wiberg [1] has been widely used to characterize the degree of residual dysplasia [3,4]. The reliability of this important radiographic measurement differs considerably among previous studies [5][6][7].…”

Residual hip dysplasia as a risk factor for osteoarthritis in 45 years follow-up of late-detected hip dislocation

“…Unsatisfactory development of the hip with residual dysplasia and reduced femoral head coverage has been reported in more than one-third of patients treated for late-detected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) [1][2][3]. Although persistent acetabular dysplasia and subluxation are risk factors for the development of osteoarthritis (OA) later in life [4][5][6][7], there is no consensus with regard to the degree of dysplasia that is of clinical significance or how long a time it takes for OA to become clinically manifest.…”

Long-term results after two-stage operative treatment of late developmental displacement of the hip

“…The goals of management of children who have congenital dislocation of the hip are concentric reduction and maintenance of the reduction in order to provide the optimum environment for development of the femoral head and the acetabulum, to restore normal anatomy and to reduce the risk of the development of premature degenerative arthritis [1,3,4,7,9,11,12,[19][20][21]25]. If the diagnosis is made within the first few weeks of life, the rate of success associated with use of a Pavlik harness or another abduction device is very high [11].…”
