Developmental Dysplasia of Hip
Developmental Dysplasia of Hip
Developmental Dysplasia of Hip
Definition
• All case that clearly congenital and those that
are developmental, incorporating subluxation,
dislocation, and dysplasia of the hip
Morrisey RT, Weinstein SL. Lovel & Winter’s Pediatric orthopaedics, 6 th edition.
Developmental hip dysplasia and dislocation. Lippincot Williams & Wilkins. Atlanta,georgia.
2006.
Epidemiology
• Incidence 1 per 1000 to 34 per 1000
• 1 :600 (girls) , 1:4000 (boys)
• Family history
Salter RB. Textbook of disorder and injuries of the musculoskeletal system 3 rd edition.
Williams & Wilkins. Toronto. 1999
Diagnosis
• Routine screening : the ortolani test and
barlow test
• Asymetric skin fold
• Leg length discrepency
• Galeazzi sign
• Limited abduction
• Trendelenberg sign
• Hyperlordosis
Gulati et al. Developmental dysplasia of the hip in the newborn : A systematic
review. World J Orthop. 2013. 18;4(2):32-41
Screening for DDH
• 24 hour of birth, prior to hospital discharge, at
6 weeks, between 6-9 mo, and walking age
• UK programme ultrasound screening of
high risk infant at six weeks
• Dutch programme clinical & ultrasound
screening 3 – 5 mo of age
• Ortolani test recognition of dislocation in
infants below the age 12 mo

review. World J Orthop. 2013. 18;4(2):32-41
• Static test asses morphology
• Pathological hip femoral head cover by the
bony rim of the acetabulum <44% in girls and
<47% in boys
• Dynamic test asses stability
• Real time ultrasound barlow manouevre
• Prevention of
osteonecrosis of the
femoral head
• Closed reduction
• preoperative traction
• adductor tenotomy
• Hip spica cast
• Open reduction

Toddler ( 18-36 months)
• Open reduction with • Femoral osteotomy –
femoral or pelvic Varus derotational
osteotomy, or both osteotomy
• Achieve reduction
without damaging the
femoral head
• Acetabular procedure
judge stability at the
time of open reduction
• Indications:
• -- well reduced hip with valgus and anteversion
of proximal femur
• -- As part of open reduction procedure in order
to contain the femoral head in acetabulum
• -- progressive lateral tilting of the capital
femoral epiphysis
DDH
• Optimum outcome : 100 – 110 degree of neck-
shaft angle
• Problem after operation trendelenberg gait
• remodelation 3 years
• Varus osteotomy shifts the mechanical axis
to the medial knee

hip dysplasia in children and young adult. J Am Acad orthop Surg. 1999;7:325-337
Salter osteotomy
• Entire acetabulum
together with the pubis
and ischium rotated
as unit, symphysis pubis
acting as a hinge
• Roof of acetabulum
shifted more
anteriorly&laterally

Indication of Salter ost. in plain radiograph

(4~5 yr-old)
• 1.5 to 6 years
• Excellent correction--closer to the
deformity
• No internal fixation necessary
• May reduce acetabular volume

chiari osteotomy
• Indication : painful,
subluxated hip
• Medialized of hip joint
• Increase femoral head
coverege
• Create immediate
acetabular overhang
• Complication : incomplete
medialization, transient
peroneal nerve palsy,
limited ROM, infection

• Chiari osteotomy last treatment option
if there is lateral anterior or anterolateral
uncoverage femoral head
• Salvage procedure does not violate the
articular cartilage & creating stiffness of the
hip joint

literature review. J child orthop.2008. 2:63-68
Advantages : • Disadvantages :
– Diminishing the load on • Narrowing of the pelvis
femoral head
• Sciatic nerve palsy
– Immediate formation of
a strong roof

literature review. J child orthop.2008. 2:63-68
Shelf procedure
• Indication : congruent
reduction imposible
• Create an extra articular
butress, preventing further
subluxation, increasing the
load –bearing area of the
hip
• Good clinical result 87% in
dysplastic hip
• Interposed capsular tissue
transform to fibrocartilage
