Infant hips are classified, according to Graf, in 4 US types on the basis of the morphologic changes in both the cartilaginous and the bony roofs (type I, II, III, IV). Out of 6,000 examined hips, 170 (2.8%) were considered, which could be classified neither as type I (mature) nor as type II (delayed/immature ossification). These hips were called borderline hips. They exhibited some characteristic US features: good bone modeling, rounded cotyle, and alpha angle 60 degrees +/- 2. They were always observed during the first month of the patients' life. Anamnestic data were not specific (27.5% breech delivery, and 13% oligohydramnios); clinics sometimes overestimated the actual anatomic development (64/170 cases with positivity of Ortolani's sign and/or restricted abduction; 25% of patients presented with no suspicious signs). Dynamic hip examination showed only physiological cranial deflection of the cartilaginous roof. Finally, borderline hips developed into type I hips in 99% of cases, within the third month of the patients' life.

Analysis of posterior hip joint impingement about developmental dysplasia of the hip after total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty is the preferred treatment for advanced hip osteoarthritis, yet complications like hip dislocation (0.2 %-10 %) persist due to factors such as implant design, positioning, surgical technique, and patient-specific conditions. Impingement between prosthetic components or the acetabulum and proximal femur is a primary cause of instability.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can cause pain and premature osteoarthritis. The risk factors and timing for disease progression in adolescents and young adults have not been fully defined. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for contralateral hip pain and surgery after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) on a dysplastic hip.

Purpose: To compare patient populations and outcomes in studies treating borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) with either hip arthroscopy or periacetabular osteotomy (PAO).
Methods: We conducted a literature review according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines to identify studies published after 2014 that reported patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after hip arthroscopy or PAO for BHD. Preoperative demographic characteristics, radiographic variables, operative findings, procedures, postoperative outcomes, and complications were recorded.

While mostly de novo truncating variants in SCAF4 were recently identified in 18 individuals with variable neurodevelopmental phenotypes, knowledge on the molecular and clinical spectrum is still limited. We assembled data on 50 novel individuals with SCAF4 variants ascertained via GeneMatcher and personal communication. With detailed evaluation of clinical data, in silico predictions and structural modeling, we further characterized the molecular and clinical spectrum of the autosomal dominant SCAF4-associated neurodevelopmental disorder.

Decision-making regarding surgical treatment of patients showing radiographic evidence of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in the setting of borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) remains a challenge as there is no consensus on treatment in current literature. When medical evidence is unclear, understanding patient preferences becomes particularly important in deciding the optimal treatment for each patient. The purpose of this study was to measure the patient-determined importance of factors surrounding surgical treatment of FAIS in BHD.
