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).

The Influence of Risk Factors in the Early Detection of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in a Country with Limited Material Resources. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:2416. [PMID: 37685450 PMCID: PMC10486788 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11172416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition that includes a wide spectrum of anomalies ranging from simple instability with ligamentous hyperlaxity to the complete displacement of the femoral head outside the abnormally developed cotyloid cavity. Early detection and initiation of treatment allow "restitutio ad integrum" healing, which has raised the medical community's interest in early diagnosis. However, in countries with limited material resources, where echographic screening is not performed, efforts are being made to increase the sensitivity of clinical screening. Thus, the concept of "hip at risk" is taking shape worldwide. This is the normal clinical hip, but associated with one or more risk factors. We conducted a retrospective study for the period 2010-2015 with patients who presented in the ambulatory clinic of the St. John Children's Clinical Hospital, Galati. The study included 560 patients, who were all examined clinically and sonographically, according to the Graf method, by a senior orthopedic doctor with competence in hip sonography. The data obtained from the anamnesis, clinical examination, and ultrasound examination were recorded in the DDH file. The goal of the statistical analysis of the group of patients was to find a correlation between DDH and the risk factors used in the clinical detection of this pathology. In the studied group, four risk factors were identified that have an increased association with DDH: female sex, pelvic presentation, limitation of coxo-femoral abduction, and congenital clubfoot; thus, the conclusion of the study is that patients who have at least one of the listed risk factors should be examined sonographically as quickly as possible. The early ultrasound examination will allow the identification of the disease and the initiation of treatment.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Ibuprofen plus Traction, Reposition, and Hip Spica Cast in the Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1213133. [PMID: 35983005 PMCID: PMC9381201 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1213133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective. To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of ibuprofen plus traction, reposition, and hip spica cast in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods. Between January 2019 and July 2020, 60 children with DDH treaded in department of orthopedics of our institution were assessed for eligibility and recruited. They were assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive either traction + reposition + hip spica cast plus analgesia pump (observation group) or traction + reposition + hip spica cast plus analgesia pump and oral ibuprofen (control group). The outcome measures included clinical efficacy, pain scores, unexpected pain calls, the dosage of analgesia pump, and adverse events. Results. The two groups had similar clinical efficacy (
). The patients given oral ibuprofen were associated with significantly lower pain scores at 24 h and 72 h postoperatively versus those without oral ibuprofen (
). Analgesics with oral ibuprofen resulted in fewer unexpected pain calls versus analgesics without oral ibuprofen within 72 h postoperatively (
). The application of oral ibuprofen in the analgesia pump showed great improvement in lowering the dosage of analgesia pump versus the absence of ibuprofen (
). The incidence of adverse events was similar between the two groups of patients (
). Conclusion. Traction + reposition + hip spica cast plus analgesia pump and oral ibuprofen effectively mitigated postoperative pain in children with DDH and reduces analgesic drug dosage with a high safety profile.
