Long-term results of a modified Spitzy shelf operation for hip dysplasia: 79 adults with a mean follow-up of 33 years.

Background: There is no consensus regarding the treatment of symptomatic hip dysplasia in adolescents and adults. Most previous studies have insufficient follow-up time.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of a modified Spitzy shelf procedure.

The relationship between hip displacement, scoliosis, and pelvic obliquity in 106 nonambulatory children with cerebral palsy: a longitudinal retrospective population-based study.

Background And Purpose: The relationship between hip displacement (HD), pelvic obliquity (PO), and scoliosis in nonambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) has not been clearly elucidated. The aims of this population-based study were to examine the prevalence and temporal sequence of these deformities in nonambulatory children with CP and to evaluate how probable it is that severe unilateral HD contributes to development of scoliosis.

Patients And Methods: This longitudinal study comprised 106 nonambulatory children, enrolled in a surveillance program.

Scoliosis in children with severe cerebral palsy: a population-based study of 206 children at GMFCS levels III-V.

Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of scoliosis and the rate of scoliosis progression in children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) at GMFCS levels III-V.

Methods: Two hundred and six children (86 girls, 120 boys), born 2002-2008, were recruited from The Norwegian Quality and Surveillance Registry for Cerebral Palsy (NorCP). Inclusion criteria were bilateral CP and GMFCS levels III-V.

The natural history of acetabular dysplasia and later total hip arthroplasty in late-detected DDH: 48 patients with closed reduction followed to a mean age of 62 years.

Background And Purpose: The long-term prognosis of acetabular dysplasia without subluxation in developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) is uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the consequence of having acetabular dysplasia at skeletal maturity on the need for having a total hip arthroplasty (THA) up to the age of 60 years.

Patients And Methods: Inclusion criteria were age at diagnosis 0.
