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

We treated 15 hips (15 patients) with developmental dysplasia by a single-stage combination of open reduction through a medial approach and innominate osteotomy. The mean age of the patients at the time of operation was 20 months (13 to 30). The mean follow-up period was 9.6 years (4 to 14). At the final follow-up, 14 hips were assessed clinically as excellent and one hip as good. Radiologically, ten hips were rated as class I, four as class II and one as class III according to the criteria of Severin. No avascular necrosis was seen. No patient required subsequent surgery. Our results indicate that satisfactory results can be obtained with the single-stage combination of open reduction by the medial approach and innominate osteotomy for

Over a 20-year period we treated 29 patients (31 dislocated hips) by non-operative reduction after nine months of age, using horizontal traction. They were followed up for a mean of 11.7 years, and 12 hips required secondary extra-articular surgery. The clinical result was excellent in 25 hips, good in four and fair in two. Of the 29 hips for which detailed radiographs were available, 18 achieved Severin grade I, nine grade II and two grade III. There were no major complications and, in particular, no cases of avascular necrosis. The non-operative reduction of late-presenting

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the
effectiveness of the neonatal hip instability screening programme. The study involved a four-year observational assessment of a
neonatal hip screening programme. All newborns were examined using
the Barlow or Ortolani manoeuvre within 72 hours of birth; those
with positive findings were referred to a ‘one-stop’ screening clinic
for clinical and sonographic assessment of the hip. The results
were compared with previous published studies from this unit.Aims
Patients and Methods
In this prospective study of 18 hips we compared the efficacy of ultrasound with CT in determining the position of the femoral head in a spica cast after closed or open reduction in children with
