Incidence, Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Clinical Treatment for Children with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Saudi Arabia. A Systematic Review. J Epidemiol Glob Health 2024; 14:549-560. [PMID: 38483754 PMCID: PMC11444034 DOI: 10.1007/s44197-024-00217-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
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
OBJECTIVE Most prior investigations on adverse outcomes after open reduction (OR) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) have focused on avascular necrosis, redislocation, and residual dysplasia. To our knowledge, no previous study has investigated risk factors for stiffness, an underappreciated source of postoperative morbidity. The goals of this study were to define the entity more clearly and evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for arthrofibrosis after OR for DDH. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted, including all open hip reductions for DDH performed by a single surgeon from 2009 to 2022. Preoperative anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were used to calculate superior displacement, which was defined as the distance from the highest point of the proximal femoral metaphysis to the Hilgenreiner line, normalized by pelvic width. Cases treated with premature postoperative bracing cessation and/or referral to physical therapy with a resolution of stiffness within 6 months were categorized as mild arthrofibrosis. Cases that required >6 months of formal physical therapy for persistent range of motion concerns, manipulation under anesthesia, and/or inpatient rehabilitation admission were categorized as significant arthrofibrosis. RESULTS This study included 170 hips with a mean age of 21.6 months (range: 6.1 to 93.6 mo) and a mean follow-up of 46.8 months. 156 ORs (91.8%) were done through an anterior approach. Sixty-four patients (37.6%) had a concomitant isolated pelvic osteotomy, and 34 (20.0%) had both pelvic and femoral osteotomies. During the postoperative course, 109 patients (64.1%) had no arthrofibrosis, 38 (22.4%) had mild stiffness, and 23 (13.5%) had significant arthrofibrosis. On multivariable analysis, older age, superior displacement, and concomitant pelvic osteotomy were associated with any degree of arthrofibrosis (P< 0.05). Children older than 18 months or with dislocations higher than 16% of pelvic width had a 4.7 and 2.7 times higher risk, respectively, of experiencing some degree of stiffness postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Older age, high dislocations, and concomitant pelvic osteotomy without femoral shortening are risk factors for stiffness after OR for DDH. Surgeons should counsel families about the risk of postoperative stiffness, which occurred to some degree in 36% of our patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in newborns, ranging from mild dysplasia to complete dislocation. Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing DDH. However, in some cases, standard orthopedic treatments such as the Pavlik harness fail, and alternative approaches are needed. Our study explores the possibility that manual therapy, specifically the Mézières-Bertelè Method (MBM), could be beneficial in cases of DDH that are resistant to conventional treatments. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a case of a 20-month-old female who had been suffering from persistent DDH (Graf's type IIIC on the left), pain and limping, despite previous conventional treatments, including the Pavlik harness. The patient received daily MBM sessions for six months, followed by maintenance sessions every two months. OUTCOMES After undergoing the MBM treatment, the patient showed clinical improvements, such as normal neuromotor development and restored hip joint parameters. We observed normal walking and running abilities, and X-ray parameters returned to normal levels. The patient sustained positive outcomes during long-term follow-up until the age of 7. CONCLUSION The MBM manual therapy was used to treat a challenging case of DDH resistant to conventional treatment. This case report suggests a possible correlation between manual therapy and improved outcomes in resistant DDH and highlights the potential relevance of addressing the inherent musculoskeletal components of the condition.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate mid-long term radiological outcomes following early medial approach open reduction (MAOR) performed for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants aged ≤6 months old at time of surgery, specifically incidence of clinically significant avascular necrosis (AVN), Severin outcomes and rates of further surgery. Methods This is a single centre retrospective study of patients treated from 1999 to 2017. Only infants aged ≤6 months old at time of MAOR, and aged at least 6 years old at latest follow-up were included (minimum 5.5 years follow-up). Data was collected from electronic healthcare records and serial radiographs reviewed to assess outcomes. AVN was classified according to Kalamchi and MacEwen, with types 2-4 considered clinically significant. Severin classes I (excellent) and II (good) were considered satisfactory outcomes, and classes III + considered unsatisfactory. Results MAOR was performed on 48 hips in 44 patients. Mean age at time of surgery was 4 months (SD 1.4, range 2-6), with mean follow-up of 9.8 years (SD 2.7, range 6.2-16.2). Clinically significant AVN developed in 9/48 hips (19 %), all of which were type 2. Only 1/48 hips (2 %) required a subsequent pelvic osteotomy due to residual dysplasia with subluxation at 2 years post MAOR. At final follow-up, 81 % of patients had excellent or good radiological outcomes (Severin I/II). No statistically significant predictors for developing AVN, including age and presence of ossific nucleus, were identified. Conclusion Early MAOR in infants aged ≤6 months was associated with a very low rate of significant residual dysplasia requiring further surgery, yet was not associated with unacceptable rates or severe forms of AVN. We therefore recommend MAOR is performed early to optimise acetabular remodelling potential and minimise the need for concurrent or subsequent bony procedures.

Abstract
Coxa Magna (CM) is defined as a condition in which the horizontal (transverse) diameter of the femoral head is larger on the affected side than on the intact side. CM can occur as a manifestation of avascular necrosis (AVN) following treatment for the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Alternatively, it can also be secondary to other hip disorders, such as Perthes' disease. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and indicators of CM and AVN of the femoral head that can be detected during follow-up in patients with unilateral DDH treated with closed reduction (CR) or open reduction (OR) surgery. The files of 143 patients treated for unilateral DDH between January 1997 and December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. A total of 104 patients, including Group 1 ( n = 49) patients who underwent CR under general anesthesia and Group 2 ( n = 55) patients who underwent OR were included in the study. CM; It was considered as the case where the femoral head was 15% or more larger than the intact side. A total of 104 patients were followed up for 77.27 ± 13.96 months, with a mean age of 15.43 ± 7.76 months. When Group 1 and Group 2 were compared, there was no statistical difference in terms of sex, side, adductor tenotomy, and AVN ( P > 0.05). CM developed in 22.4% ( n = 11) of the patients in Group 1 and in 49.1% ( n = 27) in Group 2, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). When the effect of independent variables on the development of CM is evaluated with the multivariate logistic regression model, the risk of developing CM is 3474 times higher in those who underwent iliopsoas tenotomy compared with those who did not. The primary outcome of this study is that CM is more frequent in patients treated with OR for DDH. CM may be a nonpathological condition that occurs in connection with iliopsoas tenotomy or surgical treatment. Prospective studies with a larger number of cases, designed to minimize confounding factors, are required.

Abstract
Our objective was to scrutinize the risk factors related to bilateral involvement in the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and to inspect the impact of bilaterality on the enduring results of the DDH. All patients, aged between 6 and 18 months, who underwent surgery using the limited posteromedial approach (734 hips from 561 patients), were included in this study. The number of births, birth type, history of consanguineous marriage, family history, and swaddling were analyzed. Physical examination and complaints of the patients were evaluated, and direct radiographs were examined in terms of the redislocation, avascular necrosis, and residual acetabular dysplasia. Among the 561 patients, bilateral DDH was observed in 173 patients (30.8%). The use of swaddling was found to be statistically significant between groups (p = 0.012). The use of swaddling for more than one month was associated with a higher odds ratio for bilaterality (p = 0.001, OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.2-2.0). Furthermore, bilaterality was associated with a higher risk for redislocation in DDH (p = 0.001, OR = 4.25, 95% CI: 1.6-11.2). The study concludes that swaddling for over a month is strongly linked with the bilateral involvement in DDH. It is important to note that bilaterality plays a crucial role in the development of redislocation after open reduction in DDH.

Abstract
The impact of seizure disorders on pediatric patients who undergo hip dysplasia surgery has yet to be elucidated. This study focused on identifying the effect of seizure disorders on the incidence of complications following surgical management of hip dysplasia. Pediatric patients undergoing surgical treatment for hip dysplasia from 2012 to 2019 were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric database. Patients were divided into two cohorts: patients with and patients without a seizure disorder. Patient demographics, comorbidities and postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Of 10 853 pediatric patients who underwent hip dysplasia surgery, 8117 patients (74.8%) did not have a seizure disorder whereas 2736 (25.2%) had a seizure disorder. Bivariate analyses revealed that compared to patients without a seizure disorder, patients with a seizure disorder were at increased risk of developing surgical site infections, pneumonia, unplanned reintubation, urinary tract infection, postoperative transfusion, sepsis, extended operation time and length of stay and readmission ( P < 0.05 for all). Following adjustment for patient demographics and comorbidities on multivariate analysis, there were no differences in any postoperative complications between pediatric patients with and without a seizure disorder. There were no differences in 30-day postoperative complications in patients with and without a seizure disorder. Due to potential decreased bone mineral density as an effect of antiepileptic drugs and the risk of femur fracture during surgery for hip dysplasia, pediatric patients with a seizure disorder should be closely monitored as they may be more susceptible to injury. Level of Evidence: III.

Abstract
Background Due to various policy and health infrastructure issues, it is not uncommon to present developmental dysplasia of hip(DDH) at walking-age in India. The purpose of this study was retrospective analysis of operated cases of walking-age DDH with "inferior over-reduction". Methods "Inferior over-reduction" was defined as break in the Shenton's arc inferiorly in an operated hip which otherwise appears reduced. After Ethical Committee approval, we searched children operated for walking-age DDH. Children suggestive of syndromic association were excluded. We collected demographic data, follow-up, procedures performed, inferior over-reduction and complications. The IHDI grade, Acetabular Index(AI), Smith's ratio for superior (h/b) & lateral displacement(c/b) of femur, and clinical outcome (Modified McKay criteria) were evaluated. The outcomes of cases with inferior over-reduction(Group A) were compared with those without(Group B). Results 42 patients with average follow-up of 23 months were enrolled. 21 hips belonged to Group A. By 6 months follow up, all these cases recovered. On comparison of Smith's ratio, group A had significantly higher c/b for the operated hip at 3-month follow-up(p < 0.05). Patients undergoing acetabuloplasty had significantly lower c/b versus all other groups(p < 0.05). Correlation between h/b or c/b with age did not show any significant finding. 15 cases in group A and 14 cases in group B had excellent outcome as per modified McKay's criteria. None of the patients had inferior over-reduction, inferior or obturator dislocation at final follow-up. Three patients with group B had re-dislocation with poor outcome. we recorded 3 hips with AVN (7%). Conclusions This study highlights that after OR of walking-age DDH, the inferior over-reduction may be noted in as much as 50% of the cases. However, this is transient, and all cases recover by the 6 months follow up. There is no significant difference between group A & B in functional outcome, AVN rate. Long-term studies are required to see outcome differences between two groups.

Abstract
Background Dysplastic hips infants may normalize spontaneously without any intervention due to the natural growth. However, some infants need one or more surgical interventions to achieve stable and non-dysplastic hips. The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of infants diagnosed with DDH before the age of 6 months undergoing surgical procedures of the hip(s) before the age of four years and to determine the number and types of surgical procedures in each infant. Methods A prospective and consecutive study of all infants aged 0-6 months diagnosed with dysplasia of the hips in the combined paediatric orthopaedic and radiologic examination in the Region of Southern Denmark 2013-2017. From medical records, we obtained information about all surgical procedures in the hips including open or closed reductions, arthrographies, tenotomies, and pelvic osteotomies before the age of 4 years. Results Overall, 281 infants with hip dysplasia were included. The median age at first examination was 48 days. In 254 (90%) of the infants, the hips resolved spontaneously, and 27 (10%) needed one or more surgical interventions. Overall, the 27 infants had 47 surgical intervention as 12 infants had more than one intervention. One infants had five surgical interventions. The most frequent surgical procedures were closed reduction and arthrography with or without adductor tenotomy (58%) and pelvic osteotomy (27%). Among infants with surgical interventions, 23 (8.2%) had unstable hips, and four (1.4%) had stable hips. All four infants with stable hips had an arthrography and none required a pelvic osteotomy. Discussion This study supports the propensity for spontaneous normalization early dysplasia of the hips in infants. Only a small proportion of the infants needed surgical interventions to achieve stable and non-dysplastic hips.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Redislocation, which is one of the most serious problems in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), might occur because of several reasons. Regardless of the treatment, redislocations are reported to be associated with high complication rates in the literature. Our objective was to identify the risk factors for redislocation in the patients treated for DDH and to determine the optimal treatment method for redislocations. METHODS Patients with DDH who were treated with the limited posteromedial approach in our clinic between 1993 and 2021 and followed up prospectively were examined in this single-centered study. The participants were assigned into 2 groups: a study group consisting of 25 hips of 17 patients with redislocation and a control group consisting of 502 hips of 390 patients without redislocation. To determine the risk factors for redislocation, demographic data, known risk factors for DDH, preoperative Tönnis stage, and whether the capsule was opened or not were evaluated. To determine the optimal treatment method, a subgroup analysis based on applied treatment (closed reduction and cast replacement vs. repeating open reduction) was conducted, and recurrent redislocation, complication, and secondary surgery rates were evaluated. RESULTS Bilaterality and high-grade hip dislocations were found to be associated with higher odds ratio (OR) for redislocation [ P =0.007, OR=3.64, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.3 to 8.8; and P =0.006, OR=4.52, 95% CI, 1.37 to 14.91, respectively]. Recurrent redislocation and complication rates were found to be significantly higher in redislocations treated with closed reduction and cast replacement ( P =0.007 and P =0.015, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Bilaterality and higher preoperative Tönnis stage are critical risk factors for redislocation after open reduction in DDH. It should be kept in mind that closed reduction and cast replacement is associated with higher rates of recurrent redislocation and complications, and redislocation cases should be treated by repeating open reduction.
