Children treated with a novel suture button technique experienced improved acetabular remodeling following open hip reduction. Achieving a stable reduction, in which the femoral head remains securely positioned within the hip socket, is the primary goal of treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Greater hip stability has shown to improve acetabular remodeling following…

A novel technique demonstrates safety, stability and reduced casting needs. For children with developmental dysplasia of the hip, open reduction surgery reliably restores the hip to the socket. However, recurrent instability, iatrogenic complications, residual dysplasia and prolonged casting can limit favorable outcomes. To improve these results, orthopedic surgeons at Nationwide Children’s Hospital have developed a…

A positive first hip ultrasound (HUS) is highly predictive of having developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) among preterm infants, according to results of a study published in the American Journal of Perinatology. “In term babies, more is known about the accuracy of ultrasounds for congenital or developmental hip dysplasia. But in preterm babies, there…
