Fifty-seven children with cerebral palsy and subluxated hips underwent soft tissue releases to obtain hip reductions. Eight patients in Group I (preoperatively mildly subluxated hips) had postoperative bracing, all with good results. Twenty-two unbraced patients in Group I had 14 good, 5 fair, and 3 poor results. Thirteen patients in Group II (preoperatively severely subluxated hips) received postoperative splinting with nine good, one fair, and three poor results. The 14 unbraced patients in Group II had one fair and 13 poor results. This study indicates that even severely subluxated hips in spastic children less than 6 years of age can eventually achieve stable reductions provided long-term abduction bracing is used following adequate soft tissue releases.

Efficacy and safety of perioperative analgesia in PENG block for children undergoing hip surgery with developmental dysplasia: study protocol for a randomized, double-blinded, non-inferiority trial.
Trials
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Surgical intervention is critical in the treatment of hip developmental dysplasia in children. Perioperative analgesia, usually based on high opioid dosages, is frequently used in these patients. In some circumstances, regional anesthetic procedures such as caudal block and lumbar plexus block have also been used.

Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, LifeBridge Health, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: As the use of robotics in total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to gain popularity, differences in clinical outcomes when compared to manual techniques have remained unclear. This study aimed to compare postoperative complications between patients undergoing robotic-assisted techniques and manual THA for primary osteoarthritis at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years.
Methods: Using an all-payer national database, we identified 405,048 patients who underwent either robotic-assisted or manual THA for primary osteoarthritis.
Return to work following traumatic hip dislocation: a prognostic outcome study.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Cologne Merheim Medical Center, Witten/Herdecke University, Colone, Germany.
Background: Traumatic hip dislocations are associated with high morbidity and overall limitations of daily living activities. Residual disability inhibits returning to work after severe injuries and minimizes financial independence and social involvement, which are both related to well-being and good health. The aim of this study was to analyze epidemiological and socioeconomic status following traumatic hip dislocations to identify predictors for return to work.

Methods: A total of 58 hips underwent intraoperative arthrography-guided open reduction or limited open reduction due to developmental hip dysplasia between 2011 and 2015 was included in the study. We evaluated patients with acetabular angle 8º as group 2.
The Influence of Patient Provider Educational Interactions and Associated Preoperative Variables on Outcomes in the Hip Dysplasia Population.
Iowa Orthop J
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa, USA.
Background: Patient provider interactions influence patient treatment adherence, clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and an overall patient's engagement in healthcare decisions. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of patient provider educational interactions and associated variables on patient reported outcomes in the hip dysplasia population.
Methods: A secondary data analysis was completed with 6-month postoperative survey data from participants, who had undergone periacetabular osteotomy.
