Hip dysplasia as risk factor for clinically relevant and radiographic hip osteoarthritis: 10-year results from the CHECK cohort.

Objectives: To investigate hip dysplasia as a risk factor for clinically relevant and incident radiographic hip OA.

Methods: From a prospective cohort (CHECK) of 1002 middle-aged, new consulters for hip and/or knee pain, 468 hips (251 individuals) were selected based on hip pain, available lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and absence of definite radiographic hip OA (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] grade <2) at baseline, as well as available follow-up measures. Clinically relevant hip OA was defined by an expert diagnosis based on clinical and radiographic data obtained between years 5 and 10 from baseline.

6 compared with 12 weeks treatment in the von Rosen splint is sufficient for Barlow and Ortolani positive hips: a comparative study of 237 neonates.

Background And Purpose: At our institution, newborns with Barlow or Ortolani positive hips have been treated for 12 weeks with the von Rosen abduction splint until 2012 when the treatment length was halved. We investigate whether acetabular development at 12 months of age and complications differ between hips treated with the von Rosen splint for 6 compared with 12 weeks.

Patients And Methods: 99 patients were included in the 6-week program and 138 patients in the 12-week program.

The International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) classification is more informative than the Tönnis classification.

Background: A new, supposedly more reproducible radiographic classification, set to replace the Tönnis classification of hip dislocations, was proposed in 2015: the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) classification.

Purpose: To compare the IHDI classification with the Tönnis classification when evaluating the severity of hip dislocations as well as their respective inter- and intra-observer reliability.

Material And Methods: Since January 2000, Swedish-born children with a hip dislocation were prospectively registered.

Hip dysplasia is not uncommon but frequently overlooked: a cross-sectional study based on radiographic examination of 1,870 adults.

Background and purpose - Hip dysplasia in adults is a deformity in which the acetabulum inadequately covers the femoral head. The prevalence is sparingly described in the literature. We investigated the prevalence in Malmö (Sweden) and assessed whether the condition was recognized in the radiology reports.
