Abstract

Introduction

Residual developmental dysplasia of hip (RDDH) is a factor of early osteoarthritis of the hip. The main problems are pain and instability of the hip joint due to inadequate coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum. The purpose of this study was to radiologically evaluate RDDH after Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and to compare RDDH to healthy hips.

Materials and Methods

The radiological parameters of RDDH treated by PAO were retrospectively evaluated. Digital AP pelvic radiographs were taken, including parameters of central edge angle and femoral head coverage, medialization, distalization, and ilio-ischial angle. Clinical assessment is based on the VAS scale. The study group consisted of patients with RDDH, and the control group consisted of patients without RDDH.

Results

After PAO radiological parameters decreased: medialization by 2.68 mm, distalization by 3.65 mm, and ilio-ischial angle by 2.62°. However, there was an increase in the parameters: CEA by 17.61° and FHC by 16.46%. There was a mean 3 point decrease in pain on the VAS scale. There was also a statistically significant radiological difference in the structure of dysplastic hip joints before surgery and healthy hip joints of the control group.

Conclusions

Radiological studies confirmed the effectiveness of the PAO method in the treatment of RDDH. Based on all radiological parameters, differences between healthy and dysplastic hip joints were demonstrated. We believe that a thorough understanding of the values of radiological parameters used to describe dysplastic hip joints will allow us to improve the imaging diagnosis of this condition.
