Purpose: The aims of this study were to confirm the relationship between osseous coverage and labral size and to investigate the severity of intra-articular damage in borderline dysplastic hips in correlation to labral size.
Methods: Patients treated with primary hip arthroscopy for symptomatic labral tears between 2010 and 2018 were considered for this study. Patients were included if they had preoperative radiographic measures and intraoperative assessments of the labra and cartilage. The study group was divided into borderline dysplastic and nondysplastic groups via 3 measurements: lateral center edge angle (LCEA), acetabular index (Ax), and anterior center edge angle (ACEA). Undercoverage was defined as LCEA ≤ 25°, Ax ≥ 10°, and ACEA ≤ 20°. The labrum was measured in four quadrants: anterosuperior (AS), anteroinferior (AI), posterosuperior (PS), and posteroinferior (PI). Additionally, to assess cartilage damage in borderline dysplastic hips, hips with average labral size in the top quartile were compared to hips with average labral size in the bottom quartile.
Results: A total of 1765 hips (1589 patients) were included in the study. The mean LCEA, Ax, and ACEA between the borderline dysplastic and nondysplastic groups were significantly different (P < .001). According to the Ax classification, there was significant evidence that borderline dysplastic hips had larger labra (P < .05). Among the dysplastic group, there was significantly more cartilage damage according to the Outerbridge classifications along both the acetabulum and femoral head in hips with labra in the upper quartile (P =.011 and .005, respectively).
Conclusion: An inverse relationship may exist between acetabular depth and labral size. Additionally, specifically in borderline dysplastic hips, a relatively large labrum correlates with worse intra-articular damage compared to borderline dysplastic hips with a relatively small labrum. Larger labral size may indicate a higher degree of instability in patients with borderline dysplasia.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, case-control study.

Identifying Risk Factors for Disease Progression in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Using a Contralateral Hip Model.

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 lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) and Tönnis angle (TA) values measured in radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans with commercially available software and to determine the degree of concurrence in the classification of acetabular dysplasia as depicted in radiographs and CT scans.
Methods: Retrospectively collected data from patients undergoing preoperative CT protocol and x-rays for hip arthroscopy from June 2019 to December 2021. The preoperative anteroposterior supine view of the pelvis was utilized to measure LCEA and TA, and measurements were compared to CT scan views through commercially available software.
SOX-10 and Melan-A Immunostaining in Areas of Focal Acantholytic Dyskeratosis and Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis Within Dysplastic Nevi Biopsies: An Observational Study.

Background: Focal acantholytic dyskeratosis (FAD) and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) are common incidental epidermal histologic findings within dysplastic nevi biopsies. We evaluate whether areas of FAD and EHK within dysplastic nevi biopsies stain with immunostains used to characterize melanocytic neoplasms.
Methods: In this case series, a natural language search of histopathology reports from our institution in the past year (2020-2021) identified dysplastic nevus biopsies with concurrent FAD and/or EHK.
Hip shelf acetabuloplasty in borderline dysplasia, an alternative between Periacetabular Osteotomy and arthroscopic procedures.
Int Orthop

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dijon University Hospital, 21000, Dijon, France.
Purpose: Surgical treatments for symptomatic borderline dysplastic hips (Lateral Center-Edge Angle: LCEA 18-25°) remain challenging, instability being the primary issue. Currently, treatment options include arthroscopic procedures or peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO). Although the popularity of the acetabular shelf bone block has declined in favor of PAO, it may still be relevant as a hip joint stabilizer and coverage area, rather than for increasing coverage area by cartilage.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the thickness of acetabular cartilage in infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) before and after treatment, finding it thicker in dysplastic hips compared to normal ones.
- A total of 592 infants were monitored, with dysplastic hips showing an initial cartilage thickness of 4.3 mm, which decreased to 3.5 mm post-treatment, while borderline hips also showed a decrease from 3.1 mm to 2.9 mm.
- The findings indicate that while cartilage thickness decreases after treatment, dysplastic hips still have greater thickness than normal hips, suggesting a need for further examination of DDH treatment effects.
