A review of long-term outcomes for late presenting developmental hip dysplasia

S R Y W Thomas. Bone Joint J. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

Successful management of late presenting hip dislocation in childhood is judged by the outcome not just at skeletal maturity but well beyond into adulthood and late middle age. This review considers different methods of treatment and looks critically at the handful of studies reporting long-term follow-up after successful reduction.

Keywords: DDH; hip dysplasia; long-term outcome.
