Abstract
OBJECTIVE Infant hip dislocations benefit from early detection and treatment for optimal outcomes. Prior studies have identified that there remains wide variability in the success rate of bracing between institutions. Although there are standardized methods to screen infants for hip dysplasia, there are no clear guidelines regarding how to image a child being treated for a hip dislocation with a Pavlik harness. As a result, there is substantial variability in how treatment success or failure is monitored between and within institutions. The goal of our study is to determine whether a standardized in-harness imaging protocol improves outcomes and the likelihood of successful treatment for dislocated hips being treated with the Pavlik harness. METHODS All patients with hip dislocations and pretreatment ultrasound (US) were included from July 2018 to July 2022. A new institutional US protocol was implemented in July 2020, during which standardized in-harness imaging was obtained for patients with hip dislocations. Patients treated before the implementation of standardized in-harness imaging were categorized as nonstandardized and after implementation as a standardized group. Outcomes were compared between standardized and nonstandardized groups. P <0.05 determined the statistical significance. RESULTS One hundred twenty-eight hips met the inclusion criteria (n = 97 patients). The mean age at diagnosis was 41.6 ± 23.4 days and was predominantly female (85.6%). There was no significant difference between the patients' demographics and baseline clinical characteristics between the standardized and nonstandardized groups. Pavlik harness success rate was significantly higher in the standardized group (85% vs 60%, P = 0.0024). Twenty-eight hips in the nonstandardized group remained dislocated and were indicated for surgical treatment, whereas only 8 hips remained dislocated in the standardized group and necessitated closed or open reduction. CONCLUSIONS Standardization of in-harness imaging for patients undergoing treatment for developmental hip dislocations can significantly improve the Pavlik harness success rate. These findings emphasize the importance of obtaining images with the hip in flexion and abduction to prevent inadvertent stress during US evaluation for hips that have not yet stabilized, which may lead to premature cessation of the Pavlik harness.

Abstract
All newborns are screened for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), but countries have varying screening practices. The aim of this narrative mini review is to discuss the controversies of the screening and why it seems that all screening programs are likely to have same outcome. Different screening strategies are discussed alongside with other factors influencing DDH in this review. Universal ultrasound (US) has been praised as it finds more immature hips than clinical examination, but it has not been proven to reduce the rates of late-detected DDH or surgical management. Universal US screening increases initial treatment rates, while selective US and clinical screening have similar outcomes regarding late detection rates than universal US. This can be explained by the extrinsic factor affecting the development of the hip joint after birth and thus initial screening during the early weeks cannot find these cases. Conclusion: It seems that DDH screening strategies have strengths and limitations without notable differences in the most severe outcomes (late-detected cases requiring operative treatment). Thus, it is important to acknowledge that the used screening policy is a combination of values and available resources rather than a decision based on clear evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is increasing interest in applying artificial intelligence chatbots like generative pretrained transformer 4 (GPT-4) in the medical field. This study aimed to explore the universality of GPT-4 responses to simulated clinical scenarios of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) across diverse global settings. METHODS Seventeen international experts with more than 15 years of experience in pediatric orthopaedics were selected for the evaluation panel. Eight simulated DDH clinical scenarios were created, covering 4 key areas: (1) initial evaluation and diagnosis, (2) initial examination and treatment, (3) nursing care and follow-up, and (4) prognosis and rehabilitation planning. Each scenario was completed independently in a new GPT-4 session. Interrater reliability was assessed using Fleiss kappa, and the quality, relevance, and applicability of GPT-4 responses were analyzed using median scores and interquartile ranges. Following scoring, experts met in ZOOM sessions to generate Regional Consensus Assessment Scores, which were intended to represent a consistent regional assessment of the use of the GPT-4 in pediatric orthopaedic care. RESULTS GPT-4's responses to the 8 clinical DDH scenarios received performance scores ranging from 44.3% to 98.9% of the 88-point maximum. The Fleiss kappa statistic of 0.113 ( P = 0.001) indicated low agreement among experts in their ratings. When assessing the responses' quality, relevance, and applicability, the median scores were 3, with interquartile ranges of 3 to 4, 3 to 4, and 2 to 3, respectively. Significant differences were noted in the prognosis and rehabilitation domain scores ( P < 0.05 for all). Regional consensus scores were 75 for Africa, 74 for Asia, 73 for India, 80 for Europe, and 65 for North America, with the Kruskal-Wallis test highlighting significant disparities between these regions ( P = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the promise of GPT-4 in pediatric orthopaedic care, particularly in supporting preliminary DDH assessments and guiding treatment strategies for specialist care. However, effective integration of GPT-4 into clinical practice will require adaptation to specific regional health care contexts, highlighting the importance of a nuanced approach to health technology adaptation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DDH is 1 of the most important causes of childhood disability. A diagnosis of instability can be made in the neonatal period via the Ortolani and Barlow manoeuvres. However, clinical examination, although highly specific, has poor sensitivity as compared to ultrasound. There is controversy between the necessity of universal screening for dysplasia of all newborns or selective screening reserved for those with clinical signs of instability or known risk factors of DDH. AIM To analyse the risk factors of congenital hip dysplasia in a consecutive case series of children referred for diagnosis and treatment of DDH. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study on infants consecutively examined between January 2000 and December 2019 at the Marino Ortolani Centre in Ferrara, Italy. The first 3 types on Graf's classification were considered physiological (1A, 1B, 2A+), while the last 6 pathological (2A-, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3, 4). RESULTS 18,954 infants met the inclusion criteria and were therefore considered eligible for the study. Of these 18,954 infants, 56% (n = 10,629) were females and 44% (n = 8325) were males. According to Graf classification, 34.9% (n = 6621) were 1A, 52.7% (n = 9999) were 1B, 4.0% (n = 753) were 2A+, 2.5% (n = 478) were 2A-, 1.5% (n = 284) were 2B, 1% (n = 196) were 2C, 1.3% (n = 243) were 2D, 1% (n = 193) were 3 and 1.0% (n = 187) were 4. The most significant risk factor was the female gender (OR 5.36; 95% CI, 4.63-6.20) followed by a family history (OR 2.35; 95% CI, 2.08-2.65), then skeletal pathologies (OR 2.04; 95% CI, 1.21-3.42), oligohydramnios (OR 1.75; 95% CI, 1.44-2.13), and finally breech presentation (OR 1.42: 95% CI, 1.27-1.60). CONCLUSIONS Based on our data, family history, musculoskeletal disease, oligohydramnios and breech presentation are the main risk factors for DDH development, as is the female sex.

Abstract
Importance Delayed diagnosis of a dislocated hip in infants can lead to complex childhood surgery, interruption to family life, and premature osteoarthritis. Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of clinical examination in identifying dislocated hips in infants. Data Sources Systematic search of CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library from the inception of each database until October 31, 2023. Study Selection The 9 included studies reported the diagnostic accuracy of the clinical examination (index test) in infants aged 3 months or younger and a diagnostic hip ultrasound (reference test). The Graf method of ultrasound assessment was used to classify hip abnormalities. Data Extraction and Synthesis The Rational Clinical Examination scale was used to assign levels of evidence and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool was used to assess bias. Data were extracted using the individual hip as the unit of analysis; the data were pooled when the clinical examinations were evaluated by 3 or more of the included studies. Main Outcomes and Measures Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios (LRs) of identifying a dislocated hip were calculated. Results Among infants screened with a clinical examination and a diagnostic ultrasound in 5 studies, the prevalence of a dislocated hip (n = 37 859 hips) was 0.94% (95% CI, 0.28%-2.0%). There were 8 studies (n = 44 827 hips) that evaluated use of the Barlow maneuver and the Ortolani maneuver (dislocate and relocate an unstable hip); the maneuvers had a sensitivity of 46% (95% CI, 26%-67%), a specificity of 99.1% (95% CI, 97.9%-99.6%), a positive LR of 52 (95% CI, 21-127), and a negative LR of 0.55 (95% CI, 0.37-0.82). There were 3 studies (n = 22 472 hips) that evaluated limited hip abduction and had a sensitivity of 13% (95% CI, 3.3%-37%), a specificity of 97% (95% CI, 87%-99%), a positive LR of 3.6 (95% CI, 0.72-18), and a negative LR of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.76-1.1). One study (n = 13 096 hips) evaluated a clicking sound and had a sensitivity of 13% (95% CI, 6.4%-21%), a specificity of 92% (95% CI, 92%-93%), a positive LR of 1.6 (95% CI, 0.91-2.8), and a negative LR of 0.95 (95% CI, 0.88-1.0). Conclusions and Relevance In studies in which all infant hips were screened for developmental dysplasia of the hip, the prevalence of a dislocated hip was 0.94%. A positive LR for the Barlow and Ortolani maneuvers was the finding most associated with an increased likelihood of a dislocated hip. Limited hip abduction or a clicking sound had no clear diagnostic utility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article evaluates the risk (defined here as incidence per 1,000 infants) of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in premature infants undergoing hip ultrasound (HUS) for breech presentation only compared with other indications. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study of infants born between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2018 at <37 weeks' gestation with a HUS obtained in the first year of life, at Nationwide Children's Hospital, the only available facility for pediatric radiology and orthopaedic services in central Ohio. We calculated risk differences and odds ratios of DDH by the indication of HUS. RESULTS From 2,397 infants reviewed, 89% underwent HUS for breech presentation only. The local incidence of DDH for infants undergoing HUS for breech-only indication was 15 per 1,000 compared with 155 per 1,000 for infants undergoing HUS for other indications. The odds ratio of DDH diagnosis was 12.1 (95% confidence interval: 7.5, 19.6) for infants undergoing HUS for an indication other than breech presentation only relative to infants undergoing HUS for the indication of breech presentation only. CONCLUSION The risk of DDH diagnosis in premature infants undergoing HUS for breech presentation is much lower than those undergoing HUS for clinical concerns and other risk factors. Screening these infants with physical examination may be sufficient. KEY POINTS · Breech presentation is the most common indication for hip ultrasound in premature infants.. · The risk of DDH is lower in premature infants with breech presentation compared with premature infants with other clinical concerns.. · The risk of DDH is higher in infants born at 33 to 36 weeks of gestation compared with those born at an earlier gestation..

Abstract
PURPOSE Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has demonstrated excellent results in elderly patients, however, the indications, outcomes, and long-term results in adolescent patients are less understood. This study aims to assess the outcomes of THA in patients under 21, providing insights for clinical decision-making in this exceptional population. METHODS A systematic review in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Embase database was performed. We included studies reporting clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes of THA in patients younger than 21 years, for any cause, with a with a minimum follow-up of one year. The ten year survivorship estimate was pooled using a meta-analysis methodology and each study was weighted according to its standard error, calculated from published confidence intervals. RESULTS We included 25 studies involving 1166 hips. Median age was 17 years old, 60% were females, and the average follow-up was 8.1 years. Juvenile inflammatory arthritis was the main indication for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The all-cause revision rate was 14.4% and aseptic loosening was the most common cause. Only eight studies reported ten year survival rates and form the pooled analysis an 84.91% survival rate (95% CI 70.56 - 99.27) was obtained. An average score of 88.08 in the Harris Hip Score (HHS) was observed. We found a 3.43% complication rate. CONCLUSIONS Hip arthroplasty is an acceptable option for adolescents with end-stage arthritis. However, the altered hip anatomy, the elevated revision rate, and the long-term implant survival must be considered before performing a THA in adolescent patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) leads to pain, joint instability, and early degenerative joint disease. Incidence, prevalence, and management strategies of DDH have been well-documented in several countries, but not in Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVE We synthesized the current evidence regarding incidence, prevalence, risk factors, and clinical treatment for children with DDH in Saudi Arabia. METHODS We searched 3 databases to locate studies. Studies that included children with DDH in Saudi Arabia; reported either incidence rate, prevalence, risk factors, and/or clinical practice; and were available in English or Arabic were included. We excluded reviews, case studies, or animal studies. Two independent authors reviewed potential studies and assessed study's quality. RESULTS Our search yielded 67 potential studies, of which 16 studies were included (total DDH sample = 3,127; age range = 2.5 to 86.4 months). Three studies reported incidence rates ranging from 3.1 to 4.9 per 1000 births, and 3 studies reported prevalence ranging from 6 to 78%. Nine studies reported that female sex, breech position, family history, and age less than 3 years were risk factors associated with DDH. Four studies reported that brace applications and closed reduction were conservative treatments, and 9 studies reported that open hip reduction, adductor tenotomy, and/or pelvic osteotomy were surgical approaches to treat DDH. CONCLUSIONS In Saudi Arabia, the Incidence and prevalence rates of DDH are 3.1 to 4.9 per 1,000 births, and 6-78%, respectively (differ from what has been reported in other countries), but the risk factors of DDH in Saudi Arabia appear to be similar in comparison to other countries (female, breech presentation, family history of DDH).

Abstract
Ultrasound hip screening is suitable for the early identification of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Newborn and infant home visits are good opportunities for hip screening in the community, but studies focusing on nurse-led screenings are lacking. Based on a pre-post design, this study aims to develop and evaluate an ultrasound training program to improve nurses' assessment skills in detecting DDH cases during newborn and infant home visits. Said educational program will include e-learning, hands-on seminars, and clinical training. The primary outcome will be the success rate of imaging standard planes (standardized images for hip assessment) in clinical training. The secondary outcomes will include knowledge test results, objective structured clinical examination scores, time required for imaging, and inter-rater reliability between nurses and physicians. The educational program will address the issue of missed and late detection of DDH cases in resource-limited communities. This study will demonstrate the feasibility of procedures and the effectiveness of the educational program in 2024. The protocol was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry before starting the study (no. UMIN000051929, 16 August 2023).

Abstract
Background Acetabular dysplasia has a wide range of prevalence reported in the literature. This variation is likely due to differences in the population under investigation and studies focusing on cohorts with hip pain and osteoarthritis. There are reports of radiographic hip dysplasia prevalence for adults without hip pain but there is no systematic review of these studies to document the incidence in the general population. The purpose of this systematic review was to provide a full summary of all studies that report prevalence of hip dysplasia in adults without hip pain. Methods PRISMA guidelines were utilized as an outline for this systematic review. Articles were pulled from PubMed, OVID Medline, Embase, SCOPUS, Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, and clinicaltrials.gov from their inception dates to 1/7/24. Studies were included if participants were asymptomatic and reported rates of prevalence. Results Fourteen studies were included in this systematic review. There were 10,998 hips from 5,506 participants included in this analysis. The overall prevalence of radiographic hip dysplasia was 2.3%. Eight studies of 5,930 hips reported the prevalence of hip dysplasia by sex. The prevalence rate in these studies was 3.8% in females and 2.7% in males. Conclusion Acetabular dysplasia based on radiographic measurements is relatively common in the general adult population. Furthermore, females have a higher prevalence rate when compared to males. It is important to recognize the incidence of hip dysplasia in the asymptomatic adult population as we recommend surgical treatment for patients who present with hip pain and dysplasia. Further studies should investigate the natural history of untreated and treated hip dysplasia. Level of Evidence: III.

The incidence of late-detected developmental dysplasia of the hip and its functional outcomes: a 17-year cohort study using selective ultrasound screening. Acta Orthop 2023; 94:588-593. [PMID: 38084932 PMCID: PMC10714967 DOI: 10.2340/17453674.2023.24578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to establish the incidence of late-detected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with a selective ultrasound (US) examination over 17 years using the femoral head coverage (FHC) as a US measurement. The secondary aim was to establish the everyday function using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). PATIENTS AND METHODS The incidence of late-detected DDH was based on 60,844 children. Patients diagnosed for the first time after 3 months and before the age of 8 years were included. In the second part of the study, consent to participate was mandatory. PROMIS-25 Pediatric, PROMIS-25 Parent, and EQ-5D-5L were used according to the patient's age to assess everyday function. RESULTS The incidence of late-detected DDH was 0.48/1,000. The median age at diagnosis was 8 months (range 4-41 months), with a tendency to require repeated treatment with open surgery if DDH was diagnosed later. Most children reported no or minor health problems with a mean of 18 years' follow-up. CONCLUSION We found that selective US examination of the hips by measuring the FHC is a reliable method to examine newborns for DDH resulting in a low incidence of late-detected DDH amounting to 0.48/1,000 newborn children.

Ann Med 2023; 55:2290694. [PMID: 38065688 PMCID: PMC10836239 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2023.2290694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a disorder of hip development that leads to dysplasia, subluxation, or total hip dislocation. Early detection of DDH is important, and early initiation of abduction treatment is key to successful correction of the hip joint. However, mild forms of DDH, including hip instability without complete dislocation, have good spontaneous healing potential, and a watchful waiting strategy in mild DDH has been found to be safe. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cost differences between different treatment strategies for DDH. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data were collected retrospectively from the medical records of all children diagnosed with diagnosis and treatment of DDH in Tampere University hospital between 1998 and 2018. In total, 948 patients were included in the study. Patients who underwent casting or operative treatment (n = 48) were excluded from the analysis. All Ortolani positive children were subjected to early abduction treatment. Children with Ortolani negative DDH were subjected to either watchful waiting or early abduction treatment, based on the clinicians' decision. The regression model estimates for the number of clinical visits with and without ultrasound examination were assessed together with cost reports from Tampere University Hospital for the calculation of savings per patient in spontaneous recovery. RESULTS Alpha angles at one month of age (p < 0.001) and treatment method (p < 0.001) affected the number of clinical visits and ultrasound examinations during the treatment follow-up. A low alpha angle predicted closer follow-up, and children with spontaneous recovery had lower numbers of clinical visits and ultrasound examinations than children in abduction treatment. Spontaneous recovery was found to result in approximately 375€/patient savings compared to successful abduction treatment. CONCLUSION With correct patient selection, a watchful waiting strategy is cost-effective in treating mild developmental dysplasia of the hip, considering the high percentage of spontaneous recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify risk factors of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS A systematic literature review was performed on 18th August 2022 using Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science electronic databases, and a manual search. The study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and registered with PROSPERO. Statistical analysis includes assessment of heterogeneity and data synthesis using RevMan 5.4. RESULTS Review of five studies including 2865 patients and 116 dislocated hips found that lower body mass index (BMI) (SMD = 0.22, p = 0.04, I2 = 0%), Crowe classification type IV versus I, II, and III (OR = 2.70, p = 0.004, I2 = 51%), higher cup inclination (SMD = 0.39 p = 0.0007, I2 = 0%), femoral head size < 28 mm (OR = 5.07, p = 0.003, I2 = 71%), lateral surgical approach (OR = 1.96, p = 0.02, I2 = 0%), and postoperative infection (OR = 6.26, p < 0.0001, I2 = 0%) were significant risk factors. However, age, gender, cup anteversion, femoral osteotomy, vertical (V-COR) centre of rotation, intraoperative fracture, preoperative and postoperative leg length discrepancy (LLD) and previous hip surgery were not found to be significant risk factors. CONCLUSION This study underscores importance of these risk factors in THA planning for DDH patients to reduce dislocation risk. Further research needed to understand mechanisms.

Abstract
Early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children is crucial. Due to COVID-19, maternal and child health services have been suspended temporarily, increasing the risk of late detection of DDH. This study aimed to reveal Japan's current situation regarding community hip screening for newborns and infants and to provide health guidance for caregivers regarding DDH. A web-based, nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted between February and March 2023 (n = 1737). One public health nurse overseeing maternal and child health per municipality responded to the 2022 municipality hip screening system. Among the 436 municipalities that responded (response rate: 25.1%), 97.5% implemented hip screening within 4 months, and approximately 60% performed it during newborn home visits, while only 2.3% conducted hip ultrasound screening. Perfect checking of the risk factors for DDH during newborn home visits and training opportunities for home visitors must be improved. Educational programs regarding DDH for home visitors and caregivers are needed to prevent the late diagnosis of DDH. Furthermore, collaboration between pediatric orthopedic surgeons and nurses is crucial for developing effective community-based hip-screening systems by bridging the evidence and practice gap in the early detection of DDH.

Abstract
AIM To compare the incidence, clinical features and timing of initial treatment of early- and later-presenting developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infancy in the context of a risk-based selective ultrasound screening programme. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study of infants born at a tertiary perinatal centre in Melbourne, Australia, between July 2016 and June 2020 and treated for DDH up to 18 months of age at a tertiary paediatric centre. The incidence of DDH was calculated for early- and later-presenting cases. Clinical features and ultrasound indications were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS There were 192 infants with DDH requiring treatment, 100 (52%) of which were not detected by universal neonatal hip examination and selective ultrasound screening based on risk factors (overall incidence 6.3 per 1000 livebirths). The median age at which treatment was commenced was delayed by 8 weeks for the later-presenting group compared to those detected through screening (16.7 vs. 7.9 weeks, P < 0.001). Skin crease asymmetry was associated with later presentation (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 44.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 9.99-333), whilst breech presentation (aOR 0.08, 95% CI 0.02-0.26) and Barlow/Ortolani test positivity (aOR 0.06, 95% CI 0.01-0.25) were associated with early presentation. Only 39 (1.45%) infants receiving a screening ultrasound had DDH. CONCLUSION Approximately half of all infants with DDH were not detected by combining risk-based selective ultrasound screening with neonatal clinical findings, highlighting the failure of this screening method to reliably detect a significant proportion of dysplastic infant hips.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition where there is an abnormal relationship between the femoral head and acetabulum. DDH is prevalent in Jordan, where late presentations of complicated cases are common due to the absence of a national screening program and cultural behaviors that can exacerbate DDH progression. The study aims to prove that the absence of a nationwide screening program and low awareness of the population about DDH are the primary reasons for the high incidence of late-presenting DDH in Jordan. The study highlights the need for addressing modifiable risk factors like swaddling and correcting common misconceptions such as using multiple diapers as a treatment option. METHODS The cross-sectional study evaluated the awareness level of DDH among Jordan residents above the age of 18. An online questionnaire was used, containing two sections. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the level of awareness scores according to demographic variables and cultural norms such as tight swaddling and using multiple diapers. The sample was categorized into three groups based on their scores: low awareness (0-4), moderate awareness (5-8), and high awareness (9-12). RESULTS The study included 1013 participants. The results indicated that 48.9% had moderate awareness, 37.8% had low awareness, and 13.3% had high awareness of DDH. Gender and place of residence had no significant relationship with the level of awareness. However, the majority of participants with high and moderate levels of awareness were in the 25-40 years age group, and healthcare workers had the highest levels of awareness. The study showed that 33.9% of participants gained their knowledge from either relatives or self-experience, while awareness campaigns were the least assessed source of information with only 2.9% of participants getting their information from them. The study also revealed misconceptions regarding DDH, such as the belief that tight swaddling and wearing many diapers reduced the risk of developing DDH. Additionally, about half of the participants were unaware of the presence of screening guidelines for DDH. CONCLUSION The study underscores the urgent need to establish a national screening program and awareness campaigns to increase knowledge about DDH and prevent late presentations of complicated cases in Jordan. The study findings provide essential information for the development of future DDH campaigns and screening protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) has been considered to be low in East Asia, but this may be incorrect because of inconsistent diagnostic definitions and testing criteria. In 2015, the AAOS released guidelines for systematic screening for DDH in newborns. We implemented these guidelines and compared DDH incidence and outcomes before and after their implementation. METHODS We used a historic comparison cohort of newborns with DDH between July 2015 and May 2017 before guideline implementation (the preguideline group); their data were retrieved using electronic medical records. In this group, the newborns received general hip screening without systemic follow-up. The postguideline group included newborns who were screened for hip dysplasia and followed up per the AAOS guidelines between July 2017 and May 2019. Their data were prospectively collected. The primary outcome in the postguideline group was DDH incidence. Other outcomes included rates of referral, surgery, and complications, and DDH prognosis. RESULTS The preguideline and postguideline groups included 3534 and 2663 newborns, respectively, of whom 49 (1.1%) and 225 (8.4%), respectively, were referred to the pediatric orthopaedic clinic enrolled. In the postguideline group, 35 patients were diagnosed as having DDH (incidence: 1.3%, 95% CI: 0.8%-1.9%). Both the incidence and referral rates were significantly higher in the postguideline group than in the preguideline group. Furthermore, the mean age at referral was 6.7±10.06 months and 0.9±0.25 months in the preguideline and postguideline groups, respectively, indicating a potential for early treatment in the postguideline group. Finally, the female sex was identified as a risk factor for residual hip dysplasia at 6 months of age. CONCLUSION DDH incidence in East Asia seems comparable to that in Western countries. Implementing the AAOS guidelines increased the diagnosis rate and opportunity for early treatment initiation, thus potentially avoiding surgical intervention. Nevertheless, residual DDH may be detected in some patients at 6 months of age, particularly in female infants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate risk factors of misdiagnosis at the first visit of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who did not participate in hip ultrasound screening. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on children with DDH admitted to a tertiary hospital in northwestern China between January 2010 and June 2021. We divided the patients into the diagnosis and misdiagnosis groups according to whether they were diagnosed at the first visit. The basic information, treatment process and medical information of the children were investigated. We made a line chart of the annual misdiagnosis rate to observe the trend in the annual misdiagnosis rate. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify significant risk factors for missed diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 351 patients met the inclusion criteria, including 256 (72.9%) patients in the diagnosis group and 95 (27.1%) patients in the misdiagnosis group. The line chart of the annual rate of misdiagnoses among children with DDH from 2010 to 2020 showed no significant change trend. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the paediatrics department (v the paediatric orthopaedics department: OR 0.21, p<0.001), the general orthopaedics department (v the paediatric orthopaedics department: OR 0.39, p=0.006) and the senior physician (v the junior physician: OR 2.47, p=0.006) on the misdiagnosis at the first visit of children were statistically significant. CONCLUSION Children with DDH without hip ultrasound screening are prone to be misdiagnosed at their first visit. The annual misdiagnosis rate has not been significantly reduced in recent years. The department and title of the physician are independent risk factors for misdiagnosis.

Known risk factors of the developmental dysplasia of the hip predicting more severe clinical presentation and failure of Pavlik harness treatment. BMC Pediatr 2023; 23:148. [PMID: 37004001 PMCID: PMC10064754 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-023-03935-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) varies from mild instability of the hip to subluxation or total dislocation of the joint. Well-known risk factors of DDH include pre-natal breech position, female sex, positive family history, hip side, primiparity and the mode of delivery. Aim of the present study was to further evaluate known risk-factors of DDH, find associations with more severe dysplasia (characterized with Ortolani positivity) and find risk factors of failure of the Pavlik harness treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS All children with the diagnosis of DDH treated in Tampere University hospital in the years 1998-2018 were retrospectively identified for the study and the data was collected from the medical records. Teratological dislocations (n = 3) were excluded from the analysis. Total of 945 patients were included. RESULTS Breech presentation was strongly associated with Ortolani positivity (p < 0.001). Breech presentation was not associated with ending up for spica casting and/or operative treatment (p = 0.291) despite the association with Ortolani positivity. Ortolani positivity (p = 0.002), positive family history (p = 0.013) and girl sex (p = 0.029) were associated with ending up for spica casting and/or operative treatment. CONCLUSION Breech presentation seems to increase the risk of Ortolani positive DDH. However, these infants are likely to recover with initially started Pavlik harness treatment, as it was not associated with elevated risk for undergoing more robust treatments. Positive family history and girl sex are associated with the most severe cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip, and it may predispose to the failure of the Pavlik harness treatment.

Abstract
To analyze whether the addition of risk-based criteria to clinical examination-based selective ultrasound screening would increase the rates of early detected cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and decrease the rate of late detected cases. A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. The initial search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases in November 2021. The following search terms were used: (hip) AND (ultrasound) AND (luxation or dysplasia) AND (newborn or neonate or congenital). A total of 25 studies were included. In 19 studies, newborns were selected for ultrasound based on both risk factors and clinical examination. In six studies, newborns were selected for ultrasound based on only clinical examination. We did not find evidence indicating that there are differences in the incidence of early- and late-detected DDH, or in the incidence of nonoperatively treated DDH between the risk-based and clinical examination-based groups. The pooled incidence of operatively treated DDH was slightly lower in the risk-based group (0.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.3 to 0.7)) compared with the clinical examination group (0.9 per 1,000 newborns, (95% CI 0.7 to 1.0)). The use of risk factors in conjunction with clinical examination in the selective ultrasound screening of DDH might lead to fewer operatively treated cases of DDH. However, more studies are needed before stronger conclusions can be drawn.

Abstract
Objectives In newborns, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is an abnormal development of the hip joint but its accurate detection is challenging. This study was designed to determine an accurate detection of DDH and their associated risk factors in infants younger than 6 months using sonographic and clinical examinations. Methods Infants younger than 6 months (n = 404) with their hip instability were recruited. Infants' hips were examined by ultrasonographic and clinical examinations. Ultrasonographic data were accessed in relation with the risk factors. Omni calculator was used to measure sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Results Out of 808 hips, 97.3% hips were categorized as Graf I type, 1.4% hips were Graf type IIa, 0.87% were type IIb, and 0.49% were type IIc. The data revealed that 93.9% hips were congruous and 6.1% hips were immature. Importantly, the data showed that risk factors such as mode of delivery, breech presentation, oligohydramnios, family history, and malformations were proportionally associated with positive DDH cases. Interestingly, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ultrasonography in relation with clinical positivity of DDH infants were 51.83%, 99.43%, and 73.16%, respectively. Conclusions This study proved that ultrasonographic assessments are highly sensitive, specific and accurate for the detection of DDH onset in infants younger than 6 months. In addition, the study investigated a number of risk factors associated with the onset of DDH; therefore, it is extremely important that ultrasonography and clinical examination should be performed by those sonographers and orthopedic surgeons, who will have the knowledge of associated risk factors.

Abstract
Background Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a known orthopedic pathology of newborns that, if not diagnosed and treated, can lead to debilitating long-term consequences. Ultrasound has proven to be an effective method for the early diagnosis of this condition. Recently, reports of late DDH in populations at risk (breech presentation) and after negative ultrasound examination have emerged in the literature. Aim The objective of the study was to assess the possible appearance of late DDH in Italian children with risk factors but negative ultrasound screening. Materials and methods We selected patients with risk factors for DDH and a negative hip ultrasound from the medical records of children referred to the Hip Ultrasound Clinic (Rome, Italy) from January 2018 to November 2021. To identify possible cases of late DDH, from February 2022 to July 2022, all patients who met the inclusion criteria were submitted to orthopedic follow-up clinical evaluation. In the case of a pathological objective examination, radiography was performed. Results Fifty-five patients (52.7% female, 52.7% with breech presentation, and 41.8% with a positive family history) met the inclusion criteria. The median age of gait onset was 13 months. The median age of orthopedic follow-up examination was 45 months. Only three patients (5.5%) had a pathological examination, but no x-ray were pathological. Conclusion Our study has not documented cases of late DDH. Considering the small study population and the only clinical follow-up, further studies are needed to clarify the possible late development of this condition.

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.
