AI Article Synopsis

  • Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) affects 2-3% of infants and is linked to increased risk of osteoarthritis and hip surgeries in younger adults, prompting this study to explore its genetic factors for better diagnosis and management.
  • The research utilized data from the Trøndelag Health Study, analyzing over 69,000 individuals and over 8.5 million SNPs to identify genetic associations, specifically focusing on the SNPs rs713162 and rs6577334 near the COL11A1 gene, which has ties to hip disorders.
  • Findings suggest a significant link between COL11A1 and DDH, supporting previous research on genetic influences and highlighting the need for further investigations into the condition's causes.

Article Abstract

Objective: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital condition affecting 2-3% of all infants. DDH increases the risk of osteoarthritis, is the cause of 30 ​% of all total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in adults <40 years of age and can result in loss of life quality. Our aim was to explore the genetic background of DDH in order to improve diagnosis, management and longterm outcome.

Design: We used the large, ongoing, longitudinal Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) database. Case definition was based on ICD-9/-10 diagnoses of DDH, or osteoarthritis secondary to DDH. Analyses were performed using SAIGE software, with covariates including sex, batch, birth year and principal components. We included only single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequency (MAF) 0.01, R 0.8 and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) -value 0.0001. Significance level was set at p ​< ​5 ​× ​10. Meta-analysis using data from DDH and primary osteoarthritis genome-wide association studies (GWASs) was done using METAL software. The study was approved by the regional ethical committee.

Results: Analysis included 69,500 individuals, of which 408 cases, and 8,531,386 SNPs. Two SNPs near were significantly associated with DDH; rs713162 ( ​= ​-0.43, SE ​= ​0.07, p ​= ​8.4 ​× ​10) and rs6577334 ( ​= ​-0.43, SE ​= ​0.08, p ​= ​8.9 ​× ​10). COL11A1 has previously been associated with acetabular dysplasia and osteoarthritis. Meta-analysis supported previous GWAS findings of both DDH and primary osteoarthritis.

Conclusions: This large, genome-wide case-control study indicates an association between COL11A1 and DDH and is an important contribution to investigating the etiology of DDH, with further research needed.

Case: An 8-year-old girl with NF1 and congenital tibial dysplasia with significant bilateral tibial bowing underwent McFarland procedures. Now age 22 with 14-year follow-up indicating sustained correction and healing of her bilateral limb deformities.

Conclusion: This case illustrates the McFarland procedure provided adequate corrective treatment of this deformity and remains a success at long-term follow-up.

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.

Segmental Odontomaxillary Dysplasia: Unusual Tumoral Lesion.

Head Neck Pathol

January 2025

Department of Oral Surgery and Pathology, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Introduction: Segmental Odontomaxillary Dysplasia (SOD) is a non-hereditary, unilateral developmental anomaly recently included in the WHO's classification of head and neck tumors.

Case Presentation: Here, we report the case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with unilateral maxillary enlargement and pain without facial asymmetry. Computed tomography revealed a hypodense area in the maxillary bone with altered bone structure and osseous expansion.

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.
