Dysplasia Of The Hip

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of early universal ultrasound (US) screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Study design: A prospective study of universal hip screening of all mature neonates was conducted from 2012 to 2013, at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Szeged; 1636 newborns (3272 hips) had clinical examinations and hip ultrasound by the Graf method within the1st 3 days of life. Prevalence of DDH, risk factors, sensitivity and specificity of clinical examinations were evaluated. Results: At the 1st US, 70 of the examined 3272 hips (2.14%) were found to be positive. According to Graf categories, the following distribution was observed: type II C, 21 hips (30.0%); D, 24 hips (34.28%); III, 24 hips (34.28%); IV, 1 hip (1.44%). Regarding the risk factors, female gender, breech presentation and positive family history proved to be significant. Interestingly, 28 (50.90%) of the 55 newborns with DDH had neither positive physical signs nor any risk factors, except being female. The physical examination was calculated for sensitivity (20.0%) and specificity (98.34%). Conclusions: In our 1-year period study, 50.9% of the newborns with DDH had neither any positive physical signs nor any risk factors, except being a female. In contrast, early universal US screening of the hip facilitated to diagnose all cases with hip dysplasia. Hip sonography is an effective mode of prevention in orthopaedics, however further studies are needed to compare the rates of operative procedures in selective versus universal screening models.

BackgroundWhether 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.MethodsA 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.ResultsA 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.ConclusionPreterm infants born with breech presentation appear to have a similar incidence of DDH to term breech infants.

Late Discovery

Introduction. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) represents one of common diseases of the locomotor system. Late discovery and inadequate healing of this defect leads to serious disability in the best years of human life. Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of functional and anatomic restitution of the diseased hip, depending on the age of the patient at the time of surgery. Methods. Our retrospective study was developed on 78 children surgically treated for DDH. The examiners were distributed in three groups according to age in which they had been operated. The data were produced on the basis of full-scale medical documents for each patient. Results. We analyzed and compared anatomic and functional results of surgeries treating DDH in the group of examiners. On examination, we got data that the most prevalent were distorted gait, inequality of the legs and positive Trendelendburg?s sign in the group of children who had been operated in the oldest age. The patients who were surgically treated in older age had worse postoperative results in aspect value angle of flexion and abduction in treated hip, higher frequency in manifesting pain and asymmetric gait. Better corrective results on aspect of dimension of the colodiaphyseal and Hilgenrainer?s angle will be obtained if DDH treatment is conducted in younger age of patients. In 94.95%, the patients were treated with Salter innominate osteotomy of pelvis with osteotomy of the femur involving its shortening and reverse rotation. Preoperative treatment with Pavliks harness was provided in 44.02% children, with abduction of Hilgenrainer?s apparatus in 2.6%, with abductions ?Niva? slips in 2.6% and preoperative extension in 28.2%. Conclusion. The surgical treatment of DDH in the observed patients done at the earlier age of growth resulted in the evidently better anatomical and functional results at postoperative observation.

Abstract BACKGROUND The optimal mode of delivery for preterm infants remains controversial, and routine Caesarean sections (C/S) are not recommended, except for maternal indications. Nonetheless, many preterm infants are delivered by C/S, particularly those in breech presentation, and recent retrospective data have suggested that these infants may have improved outcomes. OBJECTIVES To examine whether C/S as the mode of preterm delivery is associated with decreased mortality and improved short term outcomes. DESIGN/METHODS This retrospective, population-based cohort study examined infants with a gestational age between 23 0/7 weeks and 32 6/7 weeks, born between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2016, and admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at a single Canadian Tertiary Care hospital. Infants with major congenital anomalies were excluded. Data were abstracted from the local Neonatal-Perinatal database for all infants. Two groups, those delivered vaginally and those delivered by C/S, were compared for major neonatal outcomes including the primary outcomes of death and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), defined as grade 3 or higher. RESULTS A total of 1442 infants met inclusion criteria (784 born by C/S and 658 vaginally). There was no significant difference in neonatal mortality (7.0% vs 7.1%, p=0.925) or severe IVH (6.1% vs 7.4%, p=0.317). There was, however, a significant difference in the incidence of IVH, any grade (19.9% vs 27.5%, p=0.001), which remained after controlling for other significant predictors. There were no other significant differences in the secondary outcomes examined including need for extensive resuscitation, respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, periventricular leukomalacia, or retinopathy of prematurity. CONCLUSION Caesarean section was not associated with decreased mortality in preterm infants, relative to vaginal births. Caesarean section was associated with a reduced rate of IVH (any grade) and there was a trend towards decreased severe IVH which may warrant further study.

Dysplasia Of The Hip

Aim. Risk based screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with ultrasound is common. However, risk factors vary from one country to the other since data are insufficient to give clear recommendations. We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods. In this retrospective case-control study, the health records of all children, who were followed up between 2004 and 2014 at a well-child unit, were investigated for the diagnosis of DDH in Turkey. Of 9758 children, 57 children were found to have abnormal ultrasonographic findings (according to Graf classification) and these constituted the case group. As the control group, healthy 228 children who matched the case children in birth months were selected. Two groups were compared for the risk factors. Results. A total of 19516 hips of 9758 children were examined for DDH. 97 hips of 57 children were found to have abnormal ultrasonographic findings. When the two groups were compared, breech presentation, multiple pregnancy, and torticollis were identified as risk factors. The female sex was also found to have a significantly high prevalence among the children in the case group. Limited hip abduction, positive Ortolani, and Barlow signs were important clinical findings in the case group. Conclusion. According to our findings, breech presentation, female sex, torticollis, and multiple pregnancy were found to be the risk factors of this disorder. Infants with these risk factors should be investigated carefully for DDH.
