Abstract
Developmental hip dysplasia is an abnormality of the hip joint which is associated with an unstable or dislocatable hip. During infancy, hips should be screened to determine whether they are stable, unstable or dislocated. In Australia, this screening is often performed by nurses using physical assessment. Physical examination includes a number of assessments which seek to identify underlying abnormalities in hip joint anatomy and function. This scoping review outlines the physical assessments used by nurses in the screening and surveillance of developmental hip dysplasia. A review of the literature identified 15 (N = 15; 100%) sources of evidence, which included original research articles (n = 6; 40%), expert opinion pieces (n = 2; 13.3%) and practice guidelines (n = 7; 46.7%). There were 18 physical assessments identified as being used by nurses in the screening process for developmental hip dysplasia. However, it is apparent that high quality research is required to examine the timing, specificity and sensitivity of the physical assessments identified.

Abstract
AIMS We investigated the prevalence of late developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), abduction bracing treatment, and surgical procedures performed following the implementation of universal ultrasound screening versus selective ultrasound screening programmes. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, OrthoSearch, and Web of Science from the date of inception of each database until 27 March 2022 was performed. The primary outcome of interest was the prevalence of late detection of DDH, diagnosed after three months. Secondary outcomes of interest were the prevalence of abduction bracing treatment and surgical procedures performed in childhood for dysplasia. Only studies describing the primary outcome of interest were included. RESULTS A total of 31 studies were identified, of which 13 described universal screening and 20 described selective screening. Two studies described both. The prevalence of late DDH was 0.10 per 1,000 live births (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.00 to 0.39) in the universal screening group and 0.45 per 1,000 live births (95% CI 0.31 to 0.61) in the selective screening group. Abduction bracing treatment was performed on 55.54 per 1,000 live births (95% CI 24.46 to 98.15) in the universal screening group versus 0.48 per 1,000 live births (95% CI 0.07 to 1.13) in the selective screening group. Both the universal and selective screening groups had a similar prevalence of surgical procedures in childhood for dysplasia being performed (0.48 (95% CI 0.32 to 0.63) vs 0.49 (95% CI 0.31 to 0.71) per 1,000 live births, respectively). CONCLUSION Universal screening showed a trend towards lower prevalence of late DDH compared to selective screening. However, it was also associated with a significant increase in the prevalence of abduction bracing without a significant reduction in the prevalence of surgical procedures in childhood for dysplasia being performed. High-quality studies comparing both treatment methods are required, in addition to studies into the natural history of missed DDH.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2023;105-B(2):198-208.

Abstract
Pediatricians play a key role in identifying neonates with hip instability or at risk for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH); however, the clinical practices related to screening and further management in India are unknown. A web-based survey was circulated to members of the National Neonatology Forum of India (NNFI). Of the 231 eligible responses, about 92% were from an urban setup. It was noted that 38% (88/231) had not diagnosed any DDH in the past 12 mo, 8% (17/224) had diagnosed cases beyond walking age, 50% (116/231) would pursue further evaluation in children < 3 mo with risk-factors and normal hip exam, 53% (122/229) were aware of hip-safe swaddling, 30% (68/226) were comfortable with performing Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers and < 50% (107/226) were aware of the current guidelines for the management of DDH. Almost all respondents (97.3%, 220/226) felt a need for a DDH care pathway for screening and early management in India. Thus, substantial deficits and variability in screening practices for DDH amongst pediatricians in India.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore parents' and carers' perceptions of parenting a child with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS A retrospective analysis of a questionnaire of parents and carers of children with hip dysplasia. Data analysis was guided by qualitative content analysis. RESULTS There were 753 responses describing a range of parenting experiences. Three themes emerged: arduous parenting , detailed the parenting challenges, both practical and emotional posed by the management of DDH; insufficient understanding , described the social disconnection experienced by the respondents due to a lack of empathy from others; inconsistent guidance , encompassed respondents' reliance on health professionals for information and support, yet frustration at variability in the management of DDH. CONCLUSIONS Overall, having to care for a child with DDH has a negative effect on the practice of parenting. Health professionals can support parenting and provide consistent education to assist parents' understanding of the complex nature of DDH management. What this study adds to the evidence: Despite a good prognosis, the diagnosis of hip dysplasia has a negative effect on of parenting. Parents and carers of children with hip dysplasia rely on the support of health professionals but find the associated loss of parenting autonomy distressing.

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 The study was carried out based on the background that though proximal femoral varus osteotomy is one of the most effective methods in treating developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), its surgical efficiency and effect need to be improved. METHODS The neck shaft angle and acetabular morphological parameters were measured before and after operation and during clinical follow-up. The Severin criteria and McKay criteria were both adopted to score the measurements. The distance from the center of the femoral head to the medial cutting bone (expressed as C value) and the shortened lengths of the proximal femur (expressed as Δ S) calculated by formula and obtained by actual measurement were compared. RESULTS The neck shaft angle and acetabular morphological parameters after operation and during clinical follow-up were significantly lower than those before operation (P<0.05). The proportion of children with McKay scores of I, II, III, and IV after operation was 50.00%, 41.67%, 8.33%, and 0.00%, respectively; while the proportion of children with Severin scores of I, II, III, and IV was 55.00%, 38.33%, 6.67%, and 0.00%, respectively. There were no significant differences in the C value and Δ S obtained after formula calculation and actual measurement (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The acetabular morphological parameters applied in proximal femoral varus osteotomy are of great value for the treatment of DDH in children.

Abstract
Aim: Parenting a child with a health issue such as hip dysplasia (DDH) can be complicated and stressful. We aimed to explore in depth, the lived experience of parenting a child with DDH.Methods: Guided by phenomenology of practice, six mothers and one father of children with DDH were engaged in semi-structured interviews about their parenting experiences. Data were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically.Results: Two themes emerged. Surrendering the parenting prerogative, which described participants' accounts of losing parenting autonomy while needing to rely on others to meet the needs of their child. The second theme; Struggling to adjust day-to-day, described the impact that DDH had on parenting and how participants struggled daily to meet the needs of their child.Conclusion: The management of DDH impacted both the emotional and practical aspects of parenting. Health professionals are ideally placed to support the parenting of children with DDH, but need to understand the parents' particular needs to provide this support empathetically.
