Salter innominate osteotomy remains the most commonly performed pelvic osteotomy for the Developmental Dysplasia of Hip in children after 18 months of age up to six years. Kirschner wire (K- wire) is used to fix the bone graft across the osteotomy site. Of the several complications of the pelvic osteotomy, K- wire migration into the pelvis is rare and only a few case reports are reported. We present a case of a 2-year-old girl with Right sided Developmental Dysplasia of Hip who underwent Femoral shortening and Salter innominate osteotomy, presented three months later with intrapelvic migration of k-wire. Paediatric Surgery consult was obtained and K-wire was removed laparoscopically without any complications successfully.

Pediatricians and general practitioners are involved in the newborn screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip. They often rely on the quality of the ultrasound (US) examination to make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Therefore, the professional must be able to assess its quality.

The combination of hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) has been proven safe and effective for addressing symptoms in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). As not every patient with dysplasia will require a hip arthroscopy to obtain desired clinical improvement in the setting of periacetabular osteotomy, a challenge is identifying which patients require adjacent procedures (either via arthroscopic or open) to fully treat their hip pathology. Even though labral repair is the most reported arthroscopic procedure in cases of hip dysplasia, I would suggest that labral treatment is the least likely helpful component of hip arthroscopy in these cases.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a spectrum of pathological conditions, including dislocation, subluxation, and deformities of the femoral head and acetabulum. The optimal surgical approach for DDH remains a subject of debate. Successful treatment aims to achieve a stable concentric reduction and prevent future subluxation or dislocation.
