Aims. The aim of this study was to investigate whether anterior pelvic plane-pelvic tilt (APP-PT) is associated with distinct hip pathomorphologies. We asked: is there a difference in APP-PT between young symptomatic patients being evaluated for joint preservation surgery and an asymptomatic control group? Does APP-PT vary among distinct acetabular and femoral pathomorphologies? And does APP-PT differ in symptomatic hips based on demographic factors?. Methods. This was an institutional review board-approved, single-centre, retrospective, case-control, comparative study, which included 388 symptomatic hips in 357 patients who presented to our tertiary centre for joint preservation between January 2011 and December 2015. Their mean age was 26 years (SD 2; 23 to 29) and 50% were female. They were allocated to 12 different

Objectives. The spinopelvic relationship (including pelvic incidence) has been shown to influence pelvic orientation, but its potential association with femoroacetabular impingement has not been thoroughly explored. The purpose of this study was to prove the hypothesis that decreasing pelvic incidence is associated with increased risk of cam

The present study seeks to investigate the correlation of pubofemoral distances (PFD) to α angles, and hip displaceability status, defined as femoral head coverage (FHC) or FHC during manual provocation of the newborn hip < 50%. We retrospectively included all newborns referred for ultrasound screening at our institution based on primary risk factor, clinical, and PFD screening. α angles, PFD, FHC, and FHC at follow-up ultrasound for referred newborns were measured and compared using scatter plots, linear regression, paired Aims

Aims. The aim of this study was to examine whether hips with unilateral osteoarthritis (OA) secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) have significant asymmetry in femoral length, and to determine potential related factors. Patients and Methods. We enrolled 90 patients (82 female, eight male) with DDH showing unilateral OA changes, and 43 healthy volunteers (26 female, 17 male) as controls. The mean age was 61.8 years (39 to 93) for the DDH groups, and 71.2 years (57 to 84) for the control group. Using a CT-based coordinate measurement system, we evaluated the following vertical distances: top of the greater trochanter to the knee centre (femoral length GT), most medial prominence of the lesser trochanter to the knee centre (femoral length LT), and top of the greater trochanter to the medial prominence of the lesser trochanter (intertrochanteric distance), along with assessments of femoral neck anteversion and neck shaft angle. Results. The percentages of hips with an absolute difference of > 5 mm in femoral GT and LT lengths were significantly larger in the DDH group (24% for both) compared with those of the control group (2% and 7%, respectively). The femoral length GT of the affected femur was significantly shorter in Crowe I and longer in Crowe IV than that of the unaffected side. The affected-to-unaffected difference of the intertrochanteric distance showed positive correlation with that of the femoral length GT in Crowe I and Crowe II/III, and negative correlation with that of the femoral length LT in the Crowe I and Crowe IV groups. Conclusion. Hips with unilateral end-stage OA secondary to DDH show significant asymmetry in femoral length between both the greater and lesser trochanter and the knee compared with controls. The intertrochanteric distance was a

were analysed in a three-dimensional study and were compared with
34 normal hips. The inclination and version of the acetabulum as
well as the acetabular rim angle and the bony acetabular coverage
were calculated. These measurements were correlated with the size
and shape of the femoral cams. While the size of the femoral cam varied characteristically,
