Subluxation of the hip presenting for the first time in a child over the age of four years is rare. We report ten cases treated over nearly 11 years by the senior author (JAF). We describe the surgical procedures and the results, at maturity, of nine of the ten patients. At a mean follow-up of nearly nine years, the clinical outcome was good in all ten children by the criteria of Ponseti. Radiological assessment showed that three hips remained subluxed, and that four had avascular necrosis of the physis. We advise a one-stage procedure, correcting both the femur and acetabulum.

Dislocation is the second most common indication for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). In revision cases the dislocation rate can be as high as 5-30%. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome, specifically the dislocation rate in revision THA where a dual mobility cup was used.

Background/objectives: The aim of the study is to present middle-term results of tailored bone and soft-tissue surgeries in subluxated and dislocated hips in children affected by cerebral palsy.
Methods: A total of 87 medical records belonging to 73 children affected by CP, treated with combined soft-tissue releases, VDO, and pelvic osteotomy, were reviewed retrospectively. Radiological measurements of AI, RI, and NSA were obtained before surgery, postoperatively, at 12 and 24 months after surgery.
Introduction: total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful surgical intervention for end-stage hip arthritis, however, it is not extent for complications. The risk of instability after THA with conventional design is up to 7% for primary procedures and 5-20% for revisions. The purpose of this study is to document the complications that occur with the double mobility prosthetic design.

Importance: Two meta-analyses published in 2012 found breech presentation, family history of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), female sex, and primiparity to increase the risk of DDH. However, the DDH definition, reference tests, and the age of the examined children varied considerably, complicating the translation of those findings to current screening guidelines.
Objective: To evaluate the association of previously proposed risk factors with the risk of sonography-verified DDH.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a widely performed surgical procedure that has evolved significantly due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. As demand for THA grows, reliable tools are essential to enhance diagnosis, preoperative planning, surgical precision, and postoperative rehabilitation. AI applications in orthopedic surgery offer innovative solutions, including automated hip osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis, precise implant positioning, and personalized risk stratification, thereby improving patient outcomes.
