Abstract:Background: Abnormal prenatal hip joint loading can lead to compromised hip joint function. Early intervention is crucial for favorable outcomes. Purpose: This study investigates the impact of treatment timing (initiation and duration) on cartilage growth and ossification in the proximal femur of infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip, a condition affecting newborns. Methods: We used a mechanobiological model to simulate proximal femur growth during treatment durations of 3 months, 6 months, and a lat… Show more
