Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Without a prompt diagnosis, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants can lead to severe sequelae. Current screening strategies emphasize the use of Ortolani and Barlow physical examination manoeuvres, yet they exhibit low sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new physical examination tool (the pronation manoeuvre) as a screening tool for DDH.
Methods
To evaluate the new manoeuvre, a cross-sectional and analytic study was performed with a nonprobabilistic sampling method. Patients with either a positive Ortolani or Barlow manoeuver were evaluated with the new manoeuvre and hip ultrasound. Controls were infants with negative Ortolani, Barlow and pronation manoeuvres and also had ultrasound performed.
Results
DDH was confirmed in 83 of 130 cases (64%) and 2 of 130 controls (2%). The new pronation manoeuvre had a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 94% as compared to the Ortolani and Barlow manoeuvres (sensitivity 31 to 32%, specificity 93 to 100%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion
This new physical examination manoeuvre could serve as another clinical tool for the initial screening of DDH in newborns. Its promising results against traditional screening procedures might potentially impact diagnosis and prognosis for patients with DDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of preliminary traction to increase the likelihood of closed reduction and/or decrease the incidence of avascular necrosis in the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is controversial. We sought to document compliance with and effectiveness of Bryant's outpatient traction in patients with idiopathic DDH. METHODS Patients presenting between 6 and 24 months of age with idiopathic irreducible DDH were prospectively enrolled in the study. Prereduction outpatient traction was prescribed at participating surgeons' preference and parents' expressed willingness to comply with a traction protocol of at least 14 hours/day for 4 weeks. Traction hours were documented using a validated monitor; parents also reported average daily usage. Rate of successful closed reduction and evidence of capital epiphyseal growth disturbance 1 year' and 2 years' postreduction were documented. RESULTS Ninety-six patients with 115 affected hips were enrolled. Reliable recorded traction hours were obtained in 31 patients with 36 affected hips. Defining compliance as 14 hours/day average use, 14 of 31 patients (45.2%) were compliant, 2 (6.5%) admitted noncompliance, while 15 (48.2%) claimed to be compliant, but were not. Overall, 68/115 hips (59.0%) were closed reduced. Age at treatment was the only demographic characteristic associated with an increased incidence of closed reduction (11.7 vs. 14.6 mo, P<0.01). Successful closed reduction was achieved in 10/16 hips (62.5%) of compliant patients, 12/20 (60.0%) of noncompliant patients, and 43/72 (59.7%) of no-traction patients. Irregular ossific nucleus development was noted 1-year postindex reduction in 5/16 (31.3%) of complaint-patient hips and 25/92 (27.2%) of noncomplaint and no-traction hips. Distorted proximal femoral epiphysis was noted at 2 years postreduction in 2/15 hips (13.3%) of compliant patients and 15/52 hips (28.8%) in noncompliant and no-traction patients. None of these differences was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Parent-reported use of outpatient traction is unreliable. Four weeks of outpatient overhead Bryant's traction did not affect the rate of closed reduction or avascular necrosis in late-presenting DDH in this cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II-prospective cohort.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a debilitating condition that affects 1–7% of newborns. Children with DDH, not treated early and effectively, will easily lead to disability. A better understanding of the biology of DDH is critical to the development of prognostic biomarkers and novel therapies. The purpose of this study was to establish a biobank of DDH genetic resources, to facilitate clinical and basic scientific research. The biological specimen and clinical data of DDH were collected in Shanghai Children’s Hospital from 2014 to 2021. The collection of blood samples was performed at definitive diagnosis and review, tissue specimens were performed at definitive surgery. The clinical data was collected at the whole stage of DDH patients at diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. A total of 528 patients with DDH were enrolled in this study, 90 were men and 438 were women, with the mean age of 4.67 years. The numbers of tissue and blood specimens reached 2172 and 1490, respectively. The quality test results showed that the DNA concentration decreased slightly with the extension of storage time, but the DNA purity did not change. Meanwhile, the extension of storage time slightly affected the stability of protein of tissue samples but did not affect the expression of the housekeeping gene. The DDH biobank built has the potential of monitoring disease pathogenesis and progress, which could provide specimens to the researchers improving the biological understanding and provide guidance of clinical treatment of this disease to clinicians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide an insight of the incidence of congenital developmental dysplasia of the hip in newborns from Yucatan born between 2015 and 2019 and analyze its association with maternal sociodemographic characteristics and neonatal, pregnancy and delivery related aspects. METHODS Retrospective, population-based study from Birth Registries database in Yucatan, Mexico between 2015 and 2019. Presence of hip dysplasia was described and analyzed considering three aspects (I) Maternal information (II) Pregnancy and birth (III) Neonatal examination. We obtained incidence rates from each year and the complete studied period. Association between hip dysplasia and maternal, neonatal and pregnancy/delivery variables was analyzed using logistic regression, unadjusted odds ratio and an adjusted model. RESULTS Hip dysplasia occurred in 13 per 10 000 live births. Significant associations were found between hip dysplasia and maternal place of residence in a city <50 000 inhabitants, without a local clinic. Propensity to give birth to a neonate with hip dysplasia increased with maternal age and ethnicity, in female newborns and when total number of pregnancy consultations summed <5. Newborns with hip dysplasia were heavier and less susceptible to be delivered vaginally. Congenital developmental hip dysplasia was comparatively more frequent among offspring of Mayan women and suboptimal access to medical care during pregnancy. Female neonates were affected the most, those first-borns. Neonates with hip dysplasia were heavier and more susceptible to be born by cesarean section. CONCLUSION Maternal, neonatal, and perinatal factors are associated with DDH in Yucatecan infants born during 2015-2019. Factors that describe living conditions seems to have a more important effect on the presence of this condition.

CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2022; 2022:1632590. [PMID: 35115901 PMCID: PMC8791747 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1632590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the application value of the combined diagnosis of ultrasound, MRI, and X-ray in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children. Methods Ninety children with suspected DDH admitted to our hospital from June 2017 to June 2020 were selected as the research objects to conduct a retrospective study. According to the age of the children, they were divided into a group with 0-6 months (group X), a group with 7-12 months (group Y), and a group older than 12 months (group Z), with 30 cases in each group. X-ray and high-frequency ultrasound were performed in all groups, and MRI examination was added to the children in groups Y and Z to compare the diagnostic value of the three imaging examinations in DDH children. Results No obvious differences in the general data and maternal risk factors were observed among the three groups (P < 0.05). The final comprehensive diagnostic results were taken as the gold standard, including 23 cases with acetabular dysplasia, 28 cases with subluxation of the femoral head, 31 cases with complete dislocation of the femoral head, and 8 non-DDH cases. The diagnostic accuracy of the three methods from high to low was MRI, high-frequency ultrasound, and X-ray, with obviously higher diagnostic accuracy of MRI than that of X-ray (P < 0.05). The ROC curves showed that the diagnostic efficacy from high to low was MRI + high-frequency ultrasound + X-ray, high-frequency ultrasound + X-ray, MRI, high-frequency ultrasound, and X-ray. Conclusion Ultrasound combined with X-ray has obvious advantages in the diagnosis of children at low months of age, while MRI has outstanding advantages in the diagnosis of children at high months of age. MRI combined with ultrasound and X-ray can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of DDH and provide objective data support for the clinical treatment of children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Newborn hip screening aims to prevent the late diagnosis of and subsequent surgical procedures for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Weather may affect how parents swaddle their babies in early life, but weather has never been formally regarded as a risk factor in hip screening. This study investigates the association between the incidence of surgically treated DDH and the outdoor temperature. METHODS Surgical procedures for late-diagnosed DDH were investigated in 12 birth-year cohorts (1999 to 2010) using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The number of children who underwent a DDH-related surgical procedure between 6 months and 5 years of age per total live births was evaluated as an outcome of hip screening. Trend and regression analyses were used to determine the association between the incidence of surgically treated DDH and birth year, birth month, and the temperature during the birth month and first 3 months of life. RESULTS The mean incidence of surgically treated DDH was 0.48 per 1,000 live births (1,296 surgically treated patients per 2,712,002 live births). The incidence of surgically treated DDH among babies born in winter months (0.70 per 1,000) was significantly higher than that among babies born in summer months (0.32 per 1,000), and it was significantly correlated with mean temperature in the first 3 months of life (r2 = 0.91; p < 0.0001) and birth month (r2 = 0.68; p < 0.001). Multivariable regression revealed that external temperature in the first 3 months of life was the most significant factor (β = -0.034 [95% confidence interval, -0.042 to -0.022]; p < 0.001) for the incidence of surgically treated DDH (adjusted r2 = 0.485). The trend of seasonal differences remained the same throughout the study years following implementation of the hip-screening policy. CONCLUSIONS As the incidence of surgically treated DDH is the ultimate outcome of newborn hip screening, cold weather should be regarded as a risk factor and should be incorporated into future screening programs. Weather patterns of different geographical areas should be studied to determine if children born in the winter are at an increased risk for requiring a surgical procedure for DDH, and newborn hip-screening programs should be revised accordingly. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is common among Chinese infants, but a lack of large-scale, multi-center epidemiological studies has made it difficult to characterize the risk factors associated with this disease.This multi-center cohort study included 19,833 Chinese infants aged 14 days to 6 months. A multi-center ultrasound protocol was used to diagnose hip abnormalities, and epidemiological data of the infants were collected through questionnaires. Categorical variables were expressed as percentages and compared using χ2 test. Multivariate analysis was performed through logistic regression.Of 19,833 infants, 345 had DDH (1.7%). DDH incidence was higher in female infants (n = 279) than in male infants (n = 66) (χ2 = 95.89, P < .05), and there were more left hip cases (n = 149) than right hip cases (n = 79) (χ2 = 12.49, P < .05). DDH incidence was statistically different amongst different age groups in months (χ2 = 451.71, P < .05), and it gradually decreased with age (P < .05). The prevalence of a positive DDH family history, breech presentation, oligohydramnios, swaddling style, and other musculoskeletal deformities was higher in the positive group than in the negative group (all P < .05). No significant differences were found in terms of delivery by cesarean section, multiple births, or premature birth between both groups.Family history, breech presentation, oligohydramnios, musculoskeletal deformities, and female sex are high-risk factors for DDH in Chinese infants. The incidence of DDH gradually decreases with age. The results of this study provide evidence for the epidemiology of infant DDH in China.

Abstract
PURPOSE A consistent relationship between CMT and DDH has been established. However, whether the presence of CMT has effect on clinical outcomes of DDH remains unanswered. This study aimed to evaluate clinical features and management of DDH in patients with CMT. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 54 patients (91 hips) simultaneously diagnosed with DDH and CMT and included 54 patients (97 hips) with only DDH by random number method as the control group. Clinical and examination outcomes were recorded and compared, respectively. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 18.1 ± 14.5 months (range, 2 to 72 mo). In the DDH and CMT group, the age of initial treatment was lower (100.8 ± 92.3 vs. 229.0 ± 157.4 d, P < 0.001), and the rate of male significantly increased (42.6% vs. 11.1%, P < 0.001). Before treatment, development degree of hip was better than that of the DDH group. Therefore, patients with CMT had approximately 14 times greater odds of conservative treatment success than children in the DDH group (OR, 13.84; 95% CI, 3.16 to 60.60). CONCLUSION We concluded that CMT was not the risk factor for the failure of treatment. On the contrary, the identification of CMT may be beneficial to early discovery and treatment of DDH when we remain vigilant to perform physical exam and screen imaging of DDH for patients with CMT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Late diagnosed Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is the detection of DDH after 3 months of age and is associated with significantly poorer outcomes than when diagnosed and managed early. Late diagnosed DDH has lower rates of success with bracing, higher rates of surgery and higher rates of complications, including avascular necrosis of the femoral head and early osteoarthritis of the hip. We describe two cases of late-diagnosed DDH which demonstrated changes in femoroacetabular joint morphology on radiographic interpretation after a 6-month trial period of manual therapy. CASE PRESENTATION Two cases (13 and 30 months of age) with late-diagnosed DDH presented to a private chiropractic clinic for conservative, non-bracing management. One case had unilateral DDH and the other bilateral DDH. A trial of manual therapy was utilized over a 6-month period. Both cases demonstrated changes to femoroacetabular morphology as well as improvements in gross motor activity and lower extremity muscle tone. CONCLUSION Manual therapy, as an adjunct or alternative to static bracing, may be of benefit in individuals with late-diagnosed DDH not responding to bracing, and prior to more invasive interventions. Additional cases of manual therapy-based management of this condition are required to inform the design of future trials to investigate this hypothesis.

Indian J Orthop 2021; 55:1428-1439. [PMID: 35003534 PMCID: PMC8688615 DOI: 10.1007/s43465-021-00526-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify literature on variations and knowledge gaps in the incidence, diagnosis, and management of developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) in India. METHODS Following standard methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a scoping systematic review of literature on incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of DDH in India was conducted. Studies conducted in India, published in indexed or non-indexed journals between 1975 and March 2021, were included in the search. RESULTS Of 57 articles which met the inclusion criteria, only 33 studies (57.8%) were PubMed-indexed. Twenty-eight studies (49%) were published in Orthopaedic journals and majority had orthopaedic surgeon as the lead author (59.6%). Sixteen studies were mainly epidemiological, 20 reported screening/diagnosis, and 21 reported treatment of DDH. Almost 90% of the studies (51) were Level 4 or 5 according to the levels of evidence in research. There is lack of clarity in the definition of hip dysplasia and screening/diagnostic guidelines to be used. The incidence of hip dysplasia in India is reported to be 0-75 per 1000 live births, with true DDH between 0 and 2.6/1000. Late-presenting DDH is common in India, with most studies reporting a mean age of > 20 months for children presenting for treatment. The treatment is also varied and there is no clear evidence-based approach to various treatment options, with lack of long-term studies. CONCLUSION This systematic scoping review highlights various knowledge gaps pertaining to DDH diagnosis and management in India. High-quality, multicentric research in identified gap areas, with long-term follow-up, is desired in future.

Abstract
AIM To assess the variability in Australian screening guidelines for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS Ovid MEDLINE®, EMBASE, EMB Reviews-Cochrane, CINAHL, TRIP and grey literature were searched to identify screening guidelines for DDH. Key data items related to recommendations for timing and method of screening were extracted and summarised in a table format for qualitative analysis. RESULTS Seventeen guidelines met inclusion criteria, comprising nine Australian DDH screening guidelines and eight Child Health Books. The guidelines showed variation in recommendations for the examiner, specific screening methods used for high-risk groups, timing of examinations and recommendations for referral. CONCLUSIONS Variability exists within Australian DDH screening guidelines. Lack of knowledge regarding local screening guidelines may contribute to the current trend of increased incidence of late diagnosed DDH in Australia, reported in New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia. An evidence-based and consistent approach to DDH screening is necessary to minimise late detected cases.

Abstract
Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in newborns and also one of the most common causes of hip arthritis in women. Many topics concerning DDH still remain controversial, and the global research trend in this field has not been well-studied yet. The aim of the present study was to illustrate the overall knowledge structure, development trends, and research hotspots of DDH. Methods: The publications related to DDH from 1998 to 2020 were identified from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC). Three bibliometric tools were used to conduct visualization and knowledge maps. Annual trends of publications, contributions of countries, institutions, authors, funding agencies and journals, and clustering of keywords were analyzed. Results: A total of 2,691 publications were included. The annual number of DDH publications showed an increasing trend worldwide. The United States has made the greatest contribution, with the largest number of publications and the highest H-index. The most prolific institutions were Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Shriners Hospital for Children. Professors Tönnis D, Harris WH, Crowe JF, Graf R, and Salter RB have made great achievements in this field. However, the collaboration between international institutions or researchers was relatively low and mainly conducted in European and American countries. All the keywords could be divided into five clusters: hip osteoarthritis study, hip replacement study, hip ultrasound study, osteotomy surgery study, and etiology study. A trend of balanced and diversified development existed in these clusters. Keywords with the ongoing bursts, including clinical outcome, risk factor, femoroacetabular impingement, predictor, arthroscopy, morphology, and anteversion may continue to be the research hotspots in the near future. Conclusions: There will be an increasing number of publications on DDH research, and the United States stay ahead in this field. International collaboration needs to be further strengthened. The information can provide helpful references for researchers to explore hot issues or target a specific field of DDH.

Abstract
Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is classified as a group of malformations, varying from abnormal acetabulum (dysplasia) and mild subluxation of the femoral head to fixed displacement (congenital dislocation). This study aimed to assess the knowledge level and its determinants regarding DDH in children among pregnant females in the Aseer region of southwestern Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted targeting all pregnant females in the Aseer region between 1 February 2021 and 1 May 2021. A pre-structured online questionnaire was constructed by the researchers to obtain the participating females’ bio-demographic data (including age, education status, and obstetric history) and awareness regarding DDH. The last section asked for their source of information regarding DDH. Results: A total of 253 pregnant females (aged between 18 and 45 years; mean age = 30.5 ± 10.2 years) fulfilling the inclusion criteria completed the study questionnaire. About 5% of the females reported having a child with DDH, and 166 (65.6%) pregnant females knew about DDH. Additionally, 110 (43.5%) females reported that they know about how DDH is treated, and 99 (39.1%) knew about DDH complications. The most commonly reported source of information was relatives and friends (44.3%), followed by social media (11.9%) and study and work (7.1%). Conclusions: Pregnant females in the Aseer region have poor knowledge and awareness about DDH and its causes, treatment modalities, and complications. Higher knowledge was associated with either high parity or having a child with DDH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Developmental dysplasia of hip joint (DDH) is a dynamic progressive pathology which can tilt either way. The term strictly applies to primary dysplasia, where etiology is not clearly known. Secondary dysplasia can be due multiple causes, such as neuromuscular disorders, connective tissue disorders or skeletal syndromes. METHODS The etiology being multifactorial, it needs a multidisciplinary team to address the issue at hand. The management starts antenatally with a detailed history of any risk factors and a dedicated ultrasound of the foetus, since forewarned is forearmed. At birth, a paediatrician having a keen sense of DDH will perform Barlow's or Ortolani's manoeuvre and can be the first one to sound the alarm in the event of positive findings. How and when a Radiologist needs to step in will depend on inter-departmental discussions between the paediatrician and the orthopedician. RESULTS In the presence of positive clinical screening tests, and non-availability of ultrasound, a preliminary X ray pelvis AP view including both hip joints should be the requisitioned in a child of any age, particularly, if belonging to the high-risk group. If ultrasound is available, a screening exam till 6 months of age is recommended to rule out DDH. DISCUSSIONS India is known for its vast numbers and little babies with occult diseases are the first to bear the brunt of conditions which have very few symptoms to start with. DDH is one such condition which most unfortunately expresses itself as a symptom only when it's too late, i.e., most often when the child begins to walk. Ultrasound is the modality of choice in neonates; however, since India is a country of modest means, in majority of the regions, radiographs still remain the first line of investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The best treatment option in children with late detected DDH is still a subject of much controversy and only few studies have investigated the long-term outcome of treatment in such patients. We performed a systematic review to assess long-term outcome of late detected DDH hips treated after walking age. METHODS Studies met inclusion criteria if they: (1) reported at least 30 hips treated; (2) included children aged between 9 months and 12 years; (3) treatment indication was late detected DDH after walking age; (4) presented a minimum follow-up of 10 years; (5) reported a clinical or radiological outcome. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate long-term survival according to clinical and radiological outcomes. The rate of total hip replacement (THR) was retrieved. RESULTS From a total of 6561 articles, 13 articles with grade IV level of evidence were included in our review. A total of 988 hips in 800 patients with a mean follow-up of 27.9 years (range 10-67) were included. The mean age at surgery was 3.3 years (range, 9 months-12 years). The rate of THR increased according to the length of final follow-up. In particular, all studies reported no case of THR at 23.5 years of follow-up, a rate of 10.2% of THR between 30 and 40 years of follow-up and a rate of 35.6% of THR in patients with follow-up more than 40 years. CONCLUSIONS In patients with late detected DDH, most THR became necessary more than 30 years after the index procedure and their number increased further after 40 years and more of follow-up. Late detected DDH diagnosed after walking age is a life-long disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditional swaddling, which implies restrictive immobilisation of the infant's lower limbs with the hips in forced extension and adduction, has been shown to be a risk factor for Developmental Dysplasia of Hip (DDH). METHODS We reviewed the literature regarding the correlation between DDH and post-natal positioning by swaddling and baby-wearing, to draw awareness of healthcare professionals towards an important risk factor for DDH that has often been overlooked. RESULTS There is overwhelming evidence in the literature, by both experimental and clinical studies, that proves the close association between improper post-natal positioning of the baby's hips in extension-adduction and an increased incidence of DDH. On the other hand, "hip safe" swaddling which allows unrestricted flexion-abduction movements of the infants' hips, and the use of baby-wearing devices which keep the lower limbs in an attitude of hip flexion-abduction and knee flexion, is optimal for hip development. Populations which practice these "hip-safe" techniques of infant immobilisation have a lower incidence of DDH as compared to those which practice restrictive immobilisation. Furthermore, populations which have adopted "hip-safe" positioning have demonstrated a significant decrease in the incidence of DDH. Understanding this association is vital, since this is a modifiable risk factor, rectification of which can decrease the incidence of DDH. CONCLUSION Policy makers and governments must design educational campaigns tailored to their respective populations to increase awareness regarding the benefits of "hip-safe" techniques of infant positioning, since this simple intervention has the potential of decreasing the incidence of DDH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a common cause of disability among children. Early detection leads to better prognosis. There are some risk factors that increase the possibility of developing a dysplasia. But not every child with developmental dysplasia has them. This means that physical examination is still very useful to detect them. However, based on clinical findings, the amount of requested ultrasound seems higher than it would be necessary. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of infants born in a single tertiary care centre. Babies in which hip ultrasound was performed were included. During the period of study, patients with diagnosis of developmental hip dysplasia were also included, as well as the amount of ultrasounds requested during this period, and their efficiency. RESULTS Out of the 456 newborns included, 530 hip ultrasounds were performed. Just 3 of the total 12 dysplasias had risk factors. The others were diagnosed through clinical examination. CONCLUSIONS Screening protocols are useful to detect hip dysplasia but clinical examination is very important to detect those cases without risk factors. However, the number of tests is higher than expected according to the diagnosed dysplasias.

Abstract
Developmental hip dysplasia (DHD) is a common entity that affects 4 out of every 1000 live births and is a recognized cause of secondary hip osteoarthritis despite routine perinatal controls. In most patients, the early diagnosis of the pathology allows an evolution without sequelae. However, in the basis that patients diagnosed late and with multiple surgeries are patients with open physis, ossification nuclei present and previous surgeries in the approach area, the late diagnosis represents a real challenge for the orthopedist. We report below the case of a patient treated in our center since birth, who evolved with complications associated with late diagnosis and surgical interventions, describing rescue surgery performed at 12 years of age and finally highlighting the importance of routine perinatals and early diagnosis of DHD.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a wide spectrum of hip disorders, including neonatal instability, acetabular dysplasia, hip subluxation, and frank dislocation of the hip. It is a common disorder, with a reported incidence of between 0.1% and >10% of live births.
Coordinated, interdisciplinary care is important to achieving successful outcomes. This starts with accurate assessment of risk factors in the prenatal period, thorough clinical examination by the primary care provider at all well-child visits, and early referral to a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon for prompt diagnosis and treatment. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is critical for an excellent outcome. Ongoing, open communication between clinicians is essential for the effective coordination of care. Treatment options vary depending on the age of presentation. A Pavlik harness (dynamic hip abduction orthosis) is used for children up to 6 months of age. A more rigid abduction orthosis may be used if treatment with a Pavlik harness is unsuccessful, with a closed reduction and spica cast being the next step if needed for children up to 18 months of age. Finally, open reduction with possible concomitant femoral and/or pelvic osteotomies is the surgical option in an older child, when necessary. In general, the later the child is diagnosed with and treated for DDH, the greater the risk of a nonoptimal outcome. Depending on the severity of the condition, children with DDH may need to be followed closely until skeletal maturity so as not to miss the diagnosis of asymptomatic residual hip dysplasia, which can predispose patients to early hip arthritis.

Abstract
Prenatal genetic screening, including evaluation for inherited genetic disorders, aneuploidy risk assessment, and sonographic assessment, combined with a thorough newborn examination and standard newborn screening, including blood, hearing, and congenital heart disease screening, can reveal conditions requiring further evaluation after delivery. Abnormal prenatal or newborn screening results should prompt additional diagnostic testing guided by maternal fetal medicine, perinatal genetics, or pediatric specialists.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To update primary care providers practising well-child and well-baby clinical care on the evidence that contributed to the recommendations of the 2020 edition of the Rourke Baby Record (RBR). QUALITY OF EVIDENCE Pediatric preventive care literature was searched from June 2016 to May 2019, primary research studies were reviewed and critically appraised using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology, and recommendations were updated where there was support from the literature. MAIN MESSAGE Notable changes in the 2020 edition of the RBR include the recommendations to limit or avoid consumption of highly processed foods high in dietary sodium, to ensure safe sleep (healthy infants should sleep on their backs and on a firm surface for every sleep, and should sleep in a crib, cradle, or bassinette in the parents' room for the first 6 months of life), to not swaddle infants after they attempt to roll, to inquire about food insecurity, to encourage parents to read and sing to infants and children, to limit screen time for children younger than 2 years of age (although it is accepted for videocalling), to educate parents on risks and harms associated with e-cigarettes and cannabis, to avoid pesticide use, to wash all fruits and vegetables that cannot be peeled, to be aware of the new Canadian Caries Risk Assessment Tool, to note new red flags for cerebral palsy and neurodevelopmental problems, and to pay attention to updated high-risk groups for lead and anemia screening. CONCLUSION The RBR endeavours to guide clinicians in providing evidence-informed primary care to Canadian children. The revisions are rigorously considered and are based on appraisal of a growing, albeit still limited, evidence base for pediatric preventive care.

Abstract
Of the nearly 3.8 million infants born in the United States in 2018, 8.3% had low birth weight (<2500 g [5.5 lb]) and 10% were born preterm (gestational age of <37 completed weeks). Many of these infants and others with congenital anomalies, perinatally acquired infections, and other disease require admission to a NICU. In the past decade, admission rates to NICUs have been increasing; it is estimated that between 10% and 15% of infants will spend time in a NICU, representing approximately 500 000 neonates annually. Approximately 3600 infants die annually in the United States from sleep-related deaths, including sudden infant death syndrome International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (R95), ill-defined deaths (R99), and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed (W75). Preterm and low birth weight infants are particularly vulnerable, with an incidence of death 2 to 3 times greater than healthy term infants. Thus, it is important for health care professionals to prepare families to maintain their infant in a safe sleep environment, as per the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. However, infants in the NICU setting commonly require care that is inconsistent with infant sleep safety recommendations. The conflicting needs of the NICU infant with the necessity to provide a safe sleep environment before hospital discharge can create confusion for providers and distress for families. This technical report is intended to assist in the establishment of appropriate NICU protocols to achieve a consistent approach to transitioning NICU infants to a safe sleep environment as soon as medically possible, well before hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosis and treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) varies greatly depending on condition severity, age at diagnosis, and professional opinion. Little is known about patient experiences across the globe. We aimed to characterize global patient and caregiver experiences during DDH care and to highlight patient-identified priorities. METHODS We developed a cross-sectional survey in collaboration with 7 DDH outreach organizations. DDH patients and/or their caregivers (above 18 y old) were invited to complete an international online survey about their experiences. Participants were recruited through web media of all collaborating organizations. Data collection took place over 3 months. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative results. Qualitative content analysis was used to categorize open-ended responses. RESULTS A total of 739 participants completed the survey, representing 638 (86.3%) parents/guardians of DDH patients, and 101 (13.7%) patients. Three hundred eighty-six (52.2%) participants received diagnosis by 3 months of age; mean age of diagnosis was 15.96 months (90% confidence interval=12.04, 19.91). Of 211 participants with family history of DDH, 68 (32.3%) did not receive DDH screening. Of 187 patients born breech, 82 (43.9%) did not receive DDH screening. In total, 36/94 (38.3%) participants with both family history and breech birth did not receive DDH screening. Most participants reported treatment (696/730, 95.3%), including bracing (n=461) surgery (n=364), and/or closed reduction (n=141). A total of 144 patients reported >1 surgery; 82 reported >3 surgeries. Participants reported a range of 1 to 400 visits to health care professionals for DDH care across 1 to 66 years. Lack of information and resources on treatment practicalities and timelines, along with emotional burden of diagnosis, were greatest challenges reported. CONCLUSION Results demonstrate that DDH diagnosis and treatment can pose significant burden on patients and caregivers. Reliable public information is needed to support those affected. Global educational efforts are needed to raise awareness of DDH risk factors, signs, and symptoms among care providers, to increase awareness and improve identification, screening, and monitoring of at-risk children.

Abstract
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) includes a broad spectrum of hip abnormalities. DDH requires early diagnosis and treatment; however, no international consensus on screening protocol and treatment is provided in the literature. Epidemiological studies are helpful to understand the national variation of a specific surgical procedure and compare it with that of other countries. Data provided by different countries could allow researchers to provide international guidelines for DDH screening and treatment. Limited data are reported regarding trends of hospitalization for DDH, and no public database is available. The purpose of this study was to estimate annual admissions for DDH in Italian patients from 2001 to 2016, based on the hospitalization reports. Data of this study were collected from the National Hospital Discharge Reports (SDO) reported at the Italian Ministry of Health. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed. From 2001 to 2016, 3103 hospitalizations for DDH were recorded in Italy, with a mean incidence of 2.33 (per 100,000 young inhabitants). Females of the 0–4 years old group represented the majority of patients hospitalized for DDH.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip comprises a broad spectrum of abnormalities in hip development, of variable severity. Besides physical examination, ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality for screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip in children aged younger than six months. The Graf method is the most widely used ultrasound technique for infant hips; a stepwise approach will be shown in this article. Furthermore, the process of dynamic ultrasound imaging will be explained as well as the use of transinguinal ultrasound in infants wearing a spica cast. There is no consensus on the best way to screen for developmental dysplasia of the hip, which is probably the reason why different screening programs exist throughout Europe, as will be discussed in this article. The use of universal versus selective ultrasound remains a controversy, as does the timing. Is it better to perform sonography in all newborn infants like in Germany and Austria? Or should we examine only the infants with clinical hip instability or risk factors (breech position, positive family history), like in the UK and the Netherlands? This article reviews the epidemiology, static and dynamic ultrasound techniques in screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip, and differences in screening programs throughout Europe. Set aside the uncertainties about whom and when to screen, it needs to be emphasized that ultrasound screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip is important, since the disease is initially occult and easier to treat when identified early. In this way, the radiologist can aid in preventing serious disability of the hip.

Prenatal Screening for Developmental Displacement of the Hip: The BUDDHA (Pre-Birth Ultrasound for Developmental Displacement of the Hip Assessment) Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11050868. [PMID: 34065897 PMCID: PMC8150805 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11050868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 05/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: developmental dysplasia of the hip has an incidence of 3–5 out of 1000 children. Currently, only postnatal screening is available. Objective: to test the feasibility of a method based on Graf technique application at antenatal ultrasound in assessing the normal development of the hip in unselected term fetuses. Methods: a prospective cohort study in a single university tertiary hospital from January 2017 to January 2020. Single uncomplicated term pregnancies (37–40 weeks) attending our center for routine ultrasound were consecutively recruited for the purpose of the study. A 3D volume acquisition was launched on the coxofemoral joint of the fetus by a single expert operator, and offline analysis was then performed in the multiplanar mode by two operators (blinded to each other analysis) in order to measure the alpha and beta angles according to our modified Graf technique. Intra- and inter-observer variations were calculated. Reference charts for normal values of both angles were produced. Postnatal ultrasound was then performed to measure the Graf angles in newborns, confirming a normal development of the hip. Results: in the study period, 433 uncomplicated term pregnancies underwent 3D ultrasound for the assessment of the fetal hip. One case was subsequently excluded because of confirmed postnatal diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip. The measurement of our modified Graf angles was feasible at prenatal ultrasound with a good reproducibility. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of both angles was substantial. Reference charts for normal values of both angles were produced. Conclusions: the evaluation of the coxofemoral joint in fetuses at term of gestation has never been attempted before. The Graf technique application, currently employed at postnatal ultrasound, may also be adapted to prenatal ultrasound with a substantial reproducibility. However, there was no evidence of a linear relationship between prenatal and postnatal alpha angles and beta angles. Further research is needed to establish if developmental dysplasia of the hip could be diagnosed antenatally.

Leveraging voxel-wise segmentation uncertainty to improve reliability in assessment of paediatric dysplasia of the hip. Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg 2021; 16:1121-1129.

Abstract
PURPOSE Estimating uncertainty in predictions made by neural networks is critically important for increasing the trust medical experts have in automatic data analysis results. In segmentation tasks, quantifying levels of confidence can provide meaningful additional information to aid clinical decision making. In recent work, we proposed an interpretable uncertainty measure to aid clinicians in assessing the reliability of developmental dysplasia of the hip metrics measured from 3D ultrasound screening scans, as well as that of the US scan itself. In this work, we propose a technique to quantify confidence in the associated segmentation process that incorporates voxel-wise uncertainty into the binary loss function used in the training regime, which encourages the network to concentrate its training effort on its least certain predictions. METHODS We propose using a Bayesian-based technique to quantify 3D segmentation uncertainty by modifying the loss function within an encoder-decoder type voxel labeling deep network. By appending a voxel-wise uncertainty measure, our modified loss helps the network improve prediction uncertainty for voxels that are harder to train. We validate our approach by training a Bayesian 3D U-Net with the proposed modified loss function on a dataset comprising 92 clinical 3D US neonate scans and test on a separate hold-out dataset of 24 patients. RESULTS Quantitatively, we show that the Dice score of ilium and acetabulum segmentation improves by 5% when trained with our proposed voxel-wise uncertainty loss compared to training with standard cross-entropy loss. Qualitatively, we further demonstrate how our modified loss function results in meaningful reduction of voxel-wise segmentation uncertainty estimates, with the network making more confident accurate predictions. CONCLUSION We proposed a Bayesian technique to encode voxel-wise segmentation uncertainty information into deep neural network optimization, and demonstrated how it can be leveraged into meaningful confidence measures to improve the model's predictive performance.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is an important contributor to musculoskeletal morbidity, but effective strategies to screen for DDH remain controversial. The current utilization of hip ultrasound (US) screening for DDH in the United States is not defined. This study utilized Optum's de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart, a large commercial and Medicare Advantage claims database. The frequency of DDH and hip US utilization was estimated using billing data on an average of 2.9 million relevant beneficiaries included annually from 2007 through 2017. A total of 6806 DDH cases were identified with an average annual prevalence of 1.7 per 1000 infants, which was stable during the study period. Girls were more likely to be screened and diagnosed with DDH, comprising 72% of DDH cases with an OR of 2.55 (95% CI 2.42-2.69), p < 0.001. Hip US screening was employed in 0.9% of the infant population on average but increased substantially from 2007 (0.4%) to 2017 (2.2%). Most common billing diagnoses included hip deformity (27.4%), breech delivery (20.4%), and physical exam abnormality (17.7%). The average imaging costs per patient for all screened children was $108.94. Insurance claims reflect the current American practice of selective hip US with relative adherence to American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines based on reported diagnoses. While hip US utilization increased during the study period, prevalence of DDH diagnoses did not increase. Our results suggest that expansion of hip US screening may not effectively increase DDH detection although further investigation is needed to ascertain optimal screening strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DDH (Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip) screening can potentially avert many morbidities and reduce costs. The debate about universal vs. selective DDH ultrasonography screening in different countries revolves to a large extent around effectiveness, cost, and the possibility of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. In this study, we proposed and evaluated a Z-score enhanced Graf method to optimize population-specific DDH screening. METHODS A total of 39,710 history ultrasonography hip examinations were collected to establish a sex, side specific and age-based Z-scores model using the local regression method. The correlation between Z-scores and classic Graf types was analyzed. Four thousand two hundred twenty-nine cases with follow-up ultrasonographic examinations and 5284 cases with follow-up X-ray examinations were used to evaluate the false positive rate of the first examination based on the subsequent examinations. The results using classic Graf types and the Z-score enhanced types were compared. RESULTS The Z-score enhanced Graf types were highly correlated with the classic Graf's classification (R = 0.67, p < 0.001). Using the Z-scores ≥2 as a threshold could reduce by 86.56 and 80.44% the false positives in the left and right hips based on the follow-up ultrasonographic examinations, and reduce by 78.99% false-positive cases based on the follow-up X-ray examinations, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Using an age, sex and side specific Z-scores enhanced Graf's method can better control the false positive rate in DDH screening among different populations.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Proximal femoral osteotomy (PFO) is commonly performed to treat children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Implant-related femoral fractures after osteotomy are sometimes reported, but the potential risk factors for these fractures remain unclear. We investigated the association of implant-related fractures with PFO and potential risk factors for these fractures.Patients and methods - We retrospectively reviewed 1,385 children undergoing PFO for DDH in our institution from 2009 to 2016 after obtaining institutional review board (IRB) approval and identified 27 children (28 hips, fracture group) with implant-related femoral fractures after PFO. We selected 137 children (218 hips, control group) without fractures who matched the children in the fracture group by age, weight, surgeon, and surgical period. Relevant clinical data were collected and compared between the 2 groups. Multiple analyses of risk factors for implant-related fractures were conducted by logistic regression with the stepwise regression method.Results - The occurrence rate of implant-related fractures was 1.9% (27/1,385). Compared with the control group, the fracture group more commonly exhibited bilateral involvement (74% vs. 53%, p = 0.04), used a spica orthosis for immobilization after osteotomy (43% vs 21%, p = 0.01) and exhibited mild remodeling at the osteotomy site (46% vs. 19%, p = 0.003), and less commonly required capsulotomy during osteotomy (61% vs. 79%, p = 0.03). According to the multiple regression analysis, the only factor identified as an independent risk factor for implant-related fractures was mild remodeling at the osteotomy site (OR = 3.2, 95% CI 1.4-7.5). Remodeling at the osteotomy site was significantly associated with varus osteotomy (coefficient = 1.4, CI 1.03-1.8). The fracture occurred at a mean of 12 months (2.2-25) after osteotomy or 3.3 months (0-12) after implant removal. In children undergoing implant removal, the fractures mostly occurred at the osteotomy site (n = 13/15), while in those with the implant remaining, the fractures mostly occurred in the screw hole (n = 8/13).Interpretation - The type of PFO performed is not associated with implant-related fractures in children with DDH. Children with mild remodeling at the osteotomy site should be closely followed up, regardless of whether the hardware is removed, and high-intensity activity should not be permitted until moderate or extensive remodeling is confirmed. After PFO, the implants should be removed when solid union is achieved at the osteotomy site.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a deep learning algorithm for the automated detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) on anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 2601 hip AP radiographs, 5076 cropped unilateral hip joint images were used to construct a dataset that was further divided into training (80%), validation (10%), or test sets (10%). Three radiologists were asked to label the hip images as normal or DDH. To investigate the diagnostic performance of the deep learning algorithm, we calculated the receiver operating characteristics (ROC), precision-recall curve (PRC) plots, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) and compared them with the performance of radiologists with different levels of experience. RESULTS The area under the ROC plot generated by the deep learning algorithm and radiologists was 0.988 and 0.988-0.919, respectively. The area under the PRC plot generated by the deep learning algorithm and radiologists was 0.973 and 0.618-0.958, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the proposed deep learning algorithm were 98.0, 98.1, 84.5, and 99.8%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the diagnosis of DDH by the algorithm and the radiologist with experience in pediatric radiology (p = 0.180). However, the proposed model showed higher sensitivity, specificity, and PPV, compared to the radiologist without experience in pediatric radiology (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The proposed deep learning algorithm provided an accurate diagnosis of DDH on hip radiographs, which was comparable to the diagnosis by an experienced radiologist.

CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 8:104. [PMID: 33557053 PMCID: PMC7913860 DOI: 10.3390/children8020104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common pediatric conditions. The current gold-standard treatment for children under six months of age with a reducible hip is bracing, but the orthopedic literature features several splint options, and each one has many advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this review is to analyze the available literature to document the up-to-date evidence on DDH conservative treatment. METHODS A systematic review of PubMed and Science Direct databases was performed by two independent authors (C.d.C. and A.V.) using the keywords "developmental dysplasia hip", "brace", "harness", "splint", "abduction brace" to evaluate studies of any level of evidence that reported clinical or preclinical results and dealt with conservative DDH treatment. The result of every stage was reviewed and approved by the senior investigators (V.P. and G.T.). RESULTS A total of 1411 articles were found. After the exclusion of duplicates, 367 articles were selected. At the end of the first screening, following the previously described selection criteria, we selected 29 articles eligible for full text reading. The included articles mainly focus on the Pavlik harness, Frejka, and Tubingen among the dynamic splint applications as well as the rhino-style brace, Ilfeld and generic abduction brace among the static splint applications. The main findings of the included articles were summarized. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic splinting for DDH represents a valid therapeutic option in cases of instability and dislocation, especially if applied within 4-5 months of life. Dynamic splinting has a low contraindication. Static bracing is an effective option too, but only for stable hips or residual acetabular dysplasia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a wide pathological spectrum, from mild acetabular dysplasia to complete congenital hip dislocation at birth. Screening policies have been implemented in an effort to effectively identify and treat patients with DDH. Since 2009 there has been a national DDH programme in Chile. The current study evaluates the results of the programme in patients born between 2010 and 2015. METHODS Records of patients hospitalized from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2019 were retrieved from national databases. Those born from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2015 who underwent a procedure for DDH under general anaesthesia during their first five years of life were selected. Sex, first surgical procedure and age at first surgical procedure were analyzed. The incidence of DDH that required major surgical treatment was calculated. RESULTS A total of 961 children born from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2015 underwent a procedure for DDH during their first five years of life. The number of major procedures was significantly lower than the number of minor procedures (269 vs 692). The incidence of major procedures was 0.18 per 1000 live births. Girls underwent a higher number of procedures than boys (831 vs 130), whereas 39.2% of the boys and 26.2% of the girls had major procedures. The mean age at the time of the first procedure was 15.35 months (sd 10.09; range 0.03 to 55.92 months). CONCLUSION The present study suggests that the Chilean National DDH Screening Program is an appropriate programme with substantial benefits with respect to public health. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetabular dysplasia is an important pre-disposing factor for osteoarthritis of the hip. However, it is not completely known how acetabular dysplasia develops during childhood. OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of acetabular dysplasia and its association with body mass index (BMI) and physical activity in 9 year old children. DESIGN The population for this cross-sectional study was drawn from the ongoing prospective cohort study: Generation R. 9,778 mothers with a delivery date from March 2002 until January 2006 were enrolled. In a random subgroup of these children Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning was performed at age 9. EXPOSURES BMI, standardized for the Dutch population and categorized in four groups based on extended international Obesity Task Force cut-offs: underweight, normal, overweight and obesity. Physical activity was based on time spent on playing outdoors, playing sports and walking/cycling to school. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The degree of acetabular dysplasia was determined with the centre-edge angle (CEA) and acetabular depth-width ratio (ADR) in DXA images of the hip. RESULTS 1,188 DXA images of children's hips were available for analysis. The median age of the children was 9.86 years. Prevalence of dysplasia and mild dysplasia was respectively 6.3%; 25.6% with CEA and 4.8%; 25.0% with ADR. BMI was negatively associated with mild dysplasia (OR 0.80 CI 0.71-0.90). Obese children showed less mild dysplasia compared to normal children (OR 0.48 CI 0.24-0.97) in unadjusted analysis. Physical activity represented by walking to school showed a statistically significant negative association with mild dysplasia (OR 0.87 CI 0.76-0.99). After adjustment for age, ethnicity, sex, first born, breech presentation, birthweight, gestational age and Caesarean section, the patterns of association with dysplasia remained for both BMI and physical activity. CONCLUSIONS In this study, being overweight and light physical activity were negatively associated with the development of (mild) acetabular dysplasia at the age of 9 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of closed reduction (CR) in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and to investigate risk factors associated with CR failure and avascular necrosis (AVN) occurrence in follow-ups. METHODS The study retrospectively included 110 patients and 138 hips with DDH diagnosis that underwent closed reduction between February 2012 and November 2015 in our single tertiary medical institution. The failure rate of CR and the underlying risk factors were evaluated. Meanwhile, the incidence of AVN and the related risk factors among the successful CR cases were assessed. RESULTS The overall failure rate of DDH treated by CR in the present study was 31.16% (43/138). Risk factors for the CR failure were older age at the time of CR (≥ 18.35 month), large medical interval before CR (≥ 35.35 mm), and severer dislocation of the affected hip (IDHI grades III and IV). The incidence of AVN was 8.33% (6/72) in patients with successful CR at the last follow-up. No significant risk factors had been established in the present study that associated with the AVN occurrence. CONCLUSIONS For the treatment of DDH with CR, patients with younger age might achieve better outcomes; early diagnosis and early treatment might be the key point in the DDH treatment.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to determine hip-related quality of life and clinical findings following treatment for neonatal hip instability (NHI) compared with age- and sex-matched controls. We hypothesized that NHI would predispose to hip discomfort in long-term follow-up. METHODS We invited those born between 1995 and 2001 who were treated for NHI at our hospital to participate in this population-based study. We included those that had Von Rosen-like splinting treatment started before one month of age. A total of 96 patients treated for NHI (75.6 %) were enrolled. A further 94 age- and sex-matched controls were also recruited. The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) questionnaire was completed separately for both hips, and a physical examination was performed. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 18.2 years (14.6 to 22.0). The HAGOS scores between groups were similar and met statistical and clinical significance only in the Symptoms subscale (mean difference 3.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31 to 7.29; p = 0.033). Those patients who had undergone treatment for NHI had a higher frequency of positive flexion-adduction-internal rotation test (odds ratio (OR) 2.6, 95% CI 1.2 to 5.6; p = 0.014), resisted straight leg rise test (OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.4 to 14.9; p = 0.014), and also experienced more pain in the groin during passive end range hip flexion (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.2 to 5.3; p = 0.015) than controls. CONCLUSION NHI predisposes to hip discomfort in clinical tests, but no clinically relevant differences in experience of pain, physical function, and hip-related quality of life could be observed between the treated group and matched controls in 18 years of follow-up.

Abstract
AIMS The diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is challenging owing to extensive variation in paediatric pelvic anatomy. Artificial intelligence (AI) may represent an effective diagnostic tool for DDH. Here, we aimed to develop an anteroposterior pelvic radiograph deep learning system for diagnosing DDH in children and analyze the feasibility of its application. METHODS In total, 10,219 anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were retrospectively collected from April 2014 to December 2018. Clinicians labelled each radiograph using a uniform standard method. Radiographs were grouped according to age and into 'dislocation' (dislocation and subluxation) and 'non-dislocation' (normal cases and those with dysplasia of the acetabulum) groups based on clinical diagnosis. The deep learning system was trained and optimized using 9,081 radiographs; 1,138 test radiographs were then used to compare the diagnoses made by deep learning system and clinicians. The accuracy of the deep learning system was determined using a receiver operating characteristic curve, and the consistency of acetabular index measurements was evaluated using Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS In all, 1,138 patients (242 males; 896 females; mean age 1.5 years (SD 1.79; 0 to 10) were included in this study. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and specificity of the deep learning system for diagnosing hip dislocation were 0.975, 276/289 (95.5%), and 1,978/1,987 (99.5%), respectively. Compared with clinical diagnoses, the Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement for acetabular index, as determined by the deep learning system from the radiographs of non-dislocated and dislocated hips, were -3.27° - 2.94° and -7.36° - 5.36°, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The deep learning system was highly consistent, more convenient, and more effective for diagnosing DDH compared with clinician-led diagnoses. Deep learning systems should be considered for analysis of anteroposterior pelvic radiographs when diagnosing DDH. The deep learning system will improve the current artificially complicated screening referral process. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(11):1574-1581.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal illness represents a significant portion of office visits to primary and urgent care clinicians. Despite this, little emphasis is placed on learning pediatric orthopaedics during medical school or residency. The focus of this paper is to provide a systematic approach to this general musculoskeletal physical exam and to assist in the recognition of what conditions are normal development and what conditions require observation, workup and referral to an experienced pediatric orthopaedist.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a common cause of disability among children. Early detection leads to better prognosis. There are some risk factors that increase the possibility of developing a dysplasia. But not every child with developmental dysplasia has them. This means that physical examination is still very useful to detect them. However, based on clinical findings, the amount of requested ultrasound seems higher than it would be necessary. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of infants born in a single tertiary care centre. Babies in which hip ultrasound was performed were included. During the period of study, patients with diagnosis of developmental hip dysplasia were also included, as well as the amount of ultrasounds requested during this period, and their efficiency. RESULTS Out of the 456 new-borns included, 530 hip ultrasounds were performed. Just 3 of the total 12 dysplasias had risk factors. The others were diagnosed through clinical examination. CONCLUSIONS Screening protocols are useful to detect hip dysplasia but clinical examination is very important to detect those cases without risk factors. However, the number of tests is higher than expected according to the diagnosed dysplasias.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether preterm infants born with breech presentation are at similar risk of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) as the term breech infants is not known. The information will be vital for DDH screening guidelines. METHODS A retrospective audit of infants born in the breech position was performed to compare the incidence of DDH in the following gestational age groups: 23-27, 28-31, 32-36 and ≥37 weeks. RESULTS A total of 1144 neonates were included in the study. The incidence of DDH did not differ between the groups (11.6%, 9.4%, 13.6% and 11.5%, in 23-27, 28-31, 32-36 and ≥37 weeks, respectively, p=0.40). Sixty infants required intervention for DDH. Multiple logistic regression after correcting for potential confounders showed that gestational age group did not influence the risk of DDH, and requirement of therapy. CONCLUSION Preterm infants born with breech presentation appear to have a similar incidence of DDH to term breech infants. .

Abstract
BACKGROUND No high level of scientific evidence exists about the use of asymmetry of skin creases (ASC) on the groin and thigh regions in diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip. The aim of this comparative study was to revisit whether or not ASC was a significant clinical finding in developmental dysplasia of the hip. METHODS This was retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected data. Control group was composed of 1000 consecutive healthy infants (mean age, 46.7 d) whose both hips were considered Graf type I (normal). Study group (SG) was composed of 246 consecutive patients (mean age, 96.5 d) whose treatments by abduction bracing were initiated due to unilateral or bilateral Graf type IIa(-) and worse hips. RESULTS SG included 178 patients with bilateral or unilateral dysplastic hips [Graf type IIa(-), IIb, IIc] and 68 patients with at least 1 decentered hip (Graf type D, III, IV). ASC was seen in 63 of 101 patients (63%) having positive clinical finding(s). The rates of both ASC alone (P<0.001; odds ratio, 3.46) and ASC total (ASC with and without additional findings) (P<0.0001; odds ratio, 7.48) were significantly higher in SG than in control group. ASC was the only clinical finding in 31 patients and 24 of these 31 patients (77%) had unilateral or bilateral dysplastic hips. Sensitivity and specificity of ASC alone were 12.60% and 96.00%, respectively. ASC was accompanied by other clinical findings (mostly Galeazzi sign and limitation of abduction) in 32 patients and 23 of these 32 patients (72%) had at least 1 decentered hip. Sensitivity and specificity of ASC total were 25.61% and 95.60%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ASC is a significant finding, as there is considerable increased risk of having dysplastic or decentered hips in infants having such a finding alone or associated with other findings. ASC alone is more commonly seen in patients with dysplastic hip(s) whereas ASC is mostly accompanied with other clinical finding(s) in patients with decentered hip(s). This study shows that, ASC can be introduced as a risk factor in selected newborn hip screening programs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II-diagnostic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of clinical screening examination in newborns with dislocated hips compared with ultrasound scan (USS). METHODS Newborns, up to 3 months of age, with confirmed hip dislocations on USS were prospectively enrolled in a multinational observational study. Data from 2010 to 2016 were reviewed to determine pretreatment clinical examination findings of the treating orthopaedic surgeon as well as baseline ultrasound indices of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). All infants had been referred to specialist centres with expertise in DDH, due to abnormal birth examination or risk factor. RESULTS The median age of the study population was 2.3 weeks and 84% of patients were female. Of the total 515 USS-confirmed dislocated hips included in the study, 71 (13.8%) were incorrectly felt to be reduced on clinical examination by the treating orthopaedist (P<0.001). Full hip abduction was documented in 106 hips. Of the hips correctly identified as dislocated, 322 hips were further analyzed based on clinical reducibility. Thirty-three of 322 (10.2%) were incorrectly thought to be reducible when in fact they were irreducible or vice versa. CONCLUSIONS Expert examiners missed a significant number of frankly dislocated hips on clinical examination and their ability to classify hips based on clinical reducibility was only moderately accurate. This study provides evidence that, even in experienced hands, physical examination findings in DDH are often too subtle to elicit clinically in the first few months of life. This may explain the persistent and measurable rate of late presenting dislocations in countries with screening programmes reliant on clinical examination. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 1-testing of previously developed diagnostic criteria in series of consecutive patients (with universally applied reference "gold" standard).

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip: An Examination of Care Practices of Orthopaedic Surgeons in India. Indian J Orthop 2020; 55:158-168. [PMID: 33569110 PMCID: PMC7851210 DOI: 10.1007/s43465-020-00233-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated screening, referral and treatment practices for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in India by surveying Orthopaedic surgeons who treat patients with DDH. The survey assessed the timing of DDH presentation, resource availability, and current state of screening and diagnosis, which would help in the development of a DDH care pathway for India. METHODS An online survey was distributed to Orthopaedic surgeons practicing in India via email and administered onsite to those attending the annual conference of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of India in 2019. RESULTS 173 completed surveys were received from surgeons practicing in a predominantly urban setting. 68.8% of respondents had performed initial evaluations on children with DDH aged over 1 year in the past 12 months, and 49.1% had assessed children with DDH aged > 2 years on initial presentation. There was no consistent use of established guidelines, with only 30% of respondents stating that a care pathway was in place at their institution. However, 91.9% would support the implementation of a care pathway developed in India, to decrease the incidence of delayed diagnosis and facilitate earlier intervention. 85% of respondents had ready access to ultrasound scans and 95.4% had access to X-rays. CONCLUSIONS In India, there is still a large number of late-presenting cases of DDH, which could be improved with effective screening. The development of a care pathway for DDH in India is well-supported by Orthopaedic surgeons and may help decrease the incidence of late presenting cases; potentially improving outcomes, decreasing morbidity, and upskilling local practitioners.

Abstract
Ultrasonography is a valuable tool that can be used in many capacities to evaluate and treat pediatric orthopaedic patient. It has the capability to depict bone, cartilaginous and soft-tissue structures, and provide dynamic information. This technique can be readily applied to a wide range of pediatric conditions, including developmental dysplasia of the hip, congenital limb deficiencies, fracture management, joint effusions, and many other musculoskeletal pathologies. There are many benefits of implementing ultrasonography as a regular tool. It is readily accessible at most centers, and information can be quickly obtained in a minimally invasive way, which limits the need for radiation exposure. Ultrasonography is a safe and reliable tool that pediatric orthopaedic surgeons can incorporate into the diagnosis and management of a broad spectrum of pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite widespread use of single-stage open reduction and pelvic osteotomy for treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after walking age, this aggressive strategy remains controversial. We directly compared dislocated hips treated with closed reduction (CR) to those treated with open reduction and Salter innominate osteotomy (OR/IO) to estimate the relative hazard of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the THA-free survival time. METHODS In a series of patients 18 to 60 months of age, 45 patients (58 hips) underwent CR and 58 patients (78 hips) were treated with OR/IO and followed to a minimum 40 years post-reduction. Observations in the survival analysis were censored if no THA had occurred by 48 years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to estimate the hazard of THA given treatment, age, and bilaterality. Complications and additional procedures were noted. RESULTS At 48 years of follow-up, 29 (50%) of the hips survived after CR compared with 54 (69%) after OR/IO. At 45 years, the survival probability after OR/IO was 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.50 to 0.78) compared with 0.55 (95% CI = 0.43 to 0.72) after CR. The hazard ratio (HR) of THA was modeled as a function of treatment, age at reduction, and bilaterality. The effect of age and treatment on the outcome of hips in patients with unilateral involvement was minimal. However, age did significantly alter the relationship between treatment and outcome in bilateral cases. In the bilateral group, the predicted HR of THA was lower after CR in hips that were reduced at the age of 18 months (HR = 0.16, 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.64) but higher in those that were reduced at 36 months (HR = 4.23, 95% CI = 2.00 to 8.95). Additional procedures were indicated for 17% and 22% of hips after CR and OR/IO, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Osteoarthritis and THA was more likely after CR than OR/IO, but the data do not indicate a difference in unadjusted hip-survival time. In patients with bilateral disease, an older age at reduction was associated with an increased hazard of THA after CR than after OR/IO. Both treatments provided substantial benefit relative to the natural history of DDH, but THA is the expected outcome in middle adulthood. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Traditional infant swaddling or binding with hips and knees extended is a known risk factor for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), while 'hip-safe swaddling' with hips and knees flexed is believed to eliminate this risk. We conducted a survey to determine the prevalent practices for infant swaddling in India; why mothers practice swaddling and who teaches them; and whether Paediatricians, nurses and caregivers are aware of hip-safe swaddling. METHODS Anonymous one-time surveys were conducted in three groups-Paediatricians, Nurses and caregivers - at a tertiary-care, urban based, paediatric and maternity hospital. RESULTS Forty-five paediatricians, 219 nurses and 100 caregivers were surveyed. Ninety percent caregivers practiced traditional swaddling, for on average 10.2 hours a day, starting soon after birth, up to 4.2 months of life. Traditional swaddling was advocated by 99% nurses and 53% Paediatricians. Reasons for swaddling included sleep, warmth and the misbelief that the child's legs would remain bowed if not bound straight; contrarily few mothers (8%) avoided swaddling out of superstition. Mothers learnt swaddling mainly from relatives (94%) and nurses (64%). Most nurses (70%) had learnt the practice during nursing training. Only 6.6% Paediatricians, 4% caregivers and 0% nurses were aware of 'hip-safe swaddling'. CONCLUSION Traditional swaddling of infants is a practice deeply rooted in India, born out of misbeliefs, and propagated by lack of awareness. Training in hip-safe swaddling targeted at nurses and Paediatricians would be an effective initial step in creating awareness among mothers and changing their practices.

Abstract
AIMS Developmental dysplasia of the hip is an important cause of disability in children and young adult and it also has a significant socio-economic impact in our society. The main objective of our study is to evaluate, in our hospital, the effectiveness of a universal ultrasound screening protocol and to assess the general knowledge about the theme of pediatricians and neonatologists. METHODS Retrospective study of infants born from January 2016 to April 2019, evaluated with hip ultrasound (Graf method). Risk factors assessed were female gender, breech presentation at birth, positive family history and twin birth. For the secondary objective, an anonymous and validated questionnaire was distributed to all pediatricians and neonatologists. RESULTS Among the 4000 hips analyzed, on ultrasound examination, 98.8% hips resulted mature or immature but appropriate for age, while 1,2% hips were pathological. Analyzing the mature or immature hips, 2,4% were positive on clinical examination and 97,6% were negative. In relation to ultrasound pathological hips, 33,3% have positive clinical examination, while 66,7% negative. From the analysis of risk factors a significant association emerged between female sex, breech presentation and family history with the ultrasound pathological findings. The results of Survey showed that inadequate training about developmental dysplasia of the hip is done during medical school. CONCLUSIONS A universal ultrasound screening allowed us to identify developmental dysplasia of the hip in a number of children with normal clinical examination and no risk factors. Specific training courses should be implemented regarding Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip for neonatologists and pediatricians.
