“…Sufficient subject-level data were available to exclude the following ineligible cases: four dislocations of the hip secondary to neuromuscular or teratologic causes [15,67], 188 hips treated by open reduction with concomitant pelvic osteotomy [8,10,19,20,29,31,33,38,46,59,69,74,95,96], and 280 hips treated by other ineligible interventions [23,64,85,94]. Additionally, one study [13] included 12 hips treated by medial open reduction that at least partly overlapped with a more recently published article [49]. Subject-level data for the 12 hips were not available on request, and therefore we excluded the entire study subset to avoid inclusion of duplicate data.…”
