Introduction: This study evaluates the necessity of routine X-ray follow-ups in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), identified through Graf hip ultrasound, a standard component of screening in Germany. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of radiological deterioration in hips that were initially diagnosed and treated according to established guidelines within a university-based risk-enriched cohort and to identify associated risk factors.
Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with developmental DDH from 2009 to 2018 with sonographically healthy hips (alpha > 64°) post conservative therapy and at least one follow-up X-ray by the age of two were analysed.
Computer assisted orthopedic surgery is used to improve precision. Electro-magnetic tracking has been shown to improve precision in mono-planar derotational osteotomies. However, studies are lacking to investigate its use in multiplanar osteotomies.
