Managing Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Abstract: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) involves a spectrum of hip disorders that affect hip anatomy and development and can range from mild anatomical deformity with a reduced but subluxatable hip to a frankly dislocated hip. It was previously known as congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) but this name is no longer used due to the fact that the hip may be anatomically abnormal whilst not being dislocated. The key aim of clinical management of DDH is early diagnosis and referral as this can often mean less… Show more

“…Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common musculoskeletal disease. [1][2][3] Infants with DDH often have acetabular dysplasia, which, if uncorrected, can lead to early degenerative joint disease in the long term. Surgical correction of acetabular dysplasia in infants has been widely performed to prevent future osteoarthritis.…”

“…The treatment principle for DDH is early diagnosis and early treatment, as this can often mean that less invasive treatment is possible, and outcomes are significantly improved if treatment is initiated at an early stage and certainly before 6 wk of age[ 5 ]. Two to three-year-old children often undergo nonsurgical treatment, with a closed reduction after the use of frog-shaped gypsum or fixation of subbranches.…”

“…(4,5) The success rate of intervening early with conservative treatment, such as the Pavlik harness, has been reported to be as high as 96.7%, with the rate of avascular necrosis as low as 0%. (6) Such early diagnosis and conservative treatment has been reported to reduce the rate of surgery required for DDH, or even obviate the need for invasive procedures. (7) Rates of all types of open surgery for DDH have been reported to be reduced significantly by effective institutional newborn clinical screening programmes.…”
