Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of an infolded limbus observed during hip arthrograms on the long-term outcomes of closed reduction for hip dysplasia in patients.
- A total of 182 hips were analyzed, revealing that 20.3% had an infolded limbus, with its occurrence linked to more severe dislocations.
- While hips with an infolded limbus had a higher acetabular index at 2 years post-reduction, the severity of dislocation was the only significant predictor for ongoing dysplasia, with no differences in avascular necrosis or secondary surgical interventions between groups.
Background: The efficacy of preliminary traction to increase the likelihood of closed reduction and/or decrease the incidence of avascular necrosis in the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is controversial. We sought to document compliance with and effectiveness of Bryant's outpatient traction in patients with idiopathic DDH.
Methods: Patients presenting between 6 and 24 months of age with idiopathic irreducible DDH were prospectively enrolled in the study.
