Background: Residual acetabular dysplasia occurs in up to a third of patients treated successfully for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and has been found to be a significant risk factor for early hip osteoarthritis (OA).
Discussion: Age at the time of initial reduction and the initial severity of DDH have been linked to residual acetabular dysplasia. An anteroposterior pelvic radiograph is the main diagnostic modality, but MRI also provides valuable information, particularly in equivocal cases. The literature supports intervening when significant residual acetabular dysplasia persists at 4-5 years of age, and common surgical indications include acetabular index (AI) > 25°-30°, lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) < 8°-10°, and a broken Shenton's line on radiographs; and a cartilaginous acetabular angle (CAI) > 18°, cartilaginous center-edge angle (CCE) < 13°, and/or the presence of high-signal intensity areas on MRI. Surgical options include redirectional pelvic osteotomies and reshaping acetabuloplasties, which provide comparable radiographic and clinical results.
Conclusion: RAD is common after treatment of DDH and requires regular follow-up for diagnosis and appropriate management to decrease the long-term risk of OA. Long-term outcomes of patients treated with pelvic osteotomies are generally favorable, and the risk of OA can be decreased, although the risk of total hip replacement in the long-term remains.

Clinical and radiological factors related to dislocation in patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures: A case-control study.

Article Synopsis
- Dislocation rates are low in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures, but complications can be serious, and the study aims to identify differences in comorbidities and surgical characteristics between patients with and without dislocation.
- In a retrospective matched-control study of 28 dislocated HA patients, results showed that 67% required further surgeries, and the one-year mortality rate was significantly higher for dislocated patients (44%) compared to controls (14%).
- Key factors associated with HA dislocation included longer surgical delays, neuro-cognitive disorders, and specific radiological measurements, suggesting that improving surgical techniques and peri-operative care could help reduce dislocation rates in at-risk patients.
Outcomes of open reduction for hip dislocations in children with connective tissue disorders.
J Child Orthop
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Purpose: While children with hypermobility and/or ligamentous laxity due to coexisting connective tissue disorders might be expected to have worse outcomes after open reduction for hip dislocations, there is minimal prior research on this topic.
Methods: All open reduction surgeries for hip dislocations performed at a single urban, tertiary-care children's hospital from 2009 to 2023 were reviewed retrospectively. Those with connective tissue disorders secondary to a diagnosed syndrome or genetic disorder were included.
Hounsfield unit values are useful for predicting early outcomes after acetabular fractures: a retrospective study.
Hip Int
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Surgical Science, Tokai University School of Medicine, Kanagawa, Japan.
Background: Acetabular fractures are among the most challenging orthopaedic fractures, and a high total hip arthroplasty (THA) conversion rate has been reported in older patients with acetabular fractures. Bone quality is a poor prognostic factor after acetabular fracture fixation and has been assessed using computed tomography (CT). However, the relationship between Hounsfield unit (HU) values measured using CT and early acetabular fracture outcomes remains unknown.

J Bone Joint Surg Am

Scottish Rite for Children, Dallas, Texas.
Background: Salter osteotomy (SO) and Pemberton acetabuloplasty (PA) are procedures to treat skeletally immature patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic results and rate of residual dysplasia (RD) after treatment with SO and with PA.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients treated with either SO or PA for DDH between 1980 and 2013 who were skeletally mature at the time of follow-up.
The association of bearing surface materials with the risk of revision following primary total hip replacement: A cohort analysis of 1,026,481 hip replacements from the National Joint Registry.

University of Bristol Medical School, Translational Health Sciences, Musculoskeletal Research Unit, Bristol, United Kingdom.
Background: The risk of re-operation, otherwise known as revision, following primary hip replacement depends in part on the prosthesis implant materials used. Current performance evidences are based on a broad categorisation grouping together different materials with potentially varying revision risks. We investigated the revision rate of primary total hip replacement (THR) reported in the National Joint Registry by specific types of bearing surfaces used.
