Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of Coxa Magna (CM) which is seen during the follow-up of unilateral Developmental Dysplasia of Hip (DDH) treated with closed reduction (CR) or open reduction (AR) and to investigate the factors affecting its.. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups retrospectively. Group 1: Consisted of closed reduction (CR) and pelvipedal cast under general anesthesia. Group 2: It consisted of patients who underwent medial open reduction (OR) and pelvipedal cast. At the last follow-up, femoral head diameters were measured. The diagnosis of CM was decided with 15% over-size criteria compared to the healthy side. Avascular necrosis (AVN) diagnosis was made according to Salter et al. criteria. AVN classification was made according to Kalamchi -Mc Ewen criteria.Results: There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of preoperative Tönnis stage and treatment age p = 0,000 and p = 0.003, respectively), but there was no difference in other parameters (p> 0.05). The incidence of CM was significantly higher in Group 2 (p = 0.017), but there was no difference between the groups in terms of AVN (p = 0.532). Conclusion: The main results of this study showed that the incidence of CM was higher in patients who underwent AR due to DDH. CM may be a non-pathologic condition associated with iliopsoas tenotomy and / or treatment. However, these CM cases may also be a result of Type 1 AVN. There is a need for more well-designed studies with more number of cases on this subject, minimizing the factors that may affect the results.

Aim: In Turkey, there is a growing consciousness of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), especially after 2012, when the ministry of health has started the obligatory national DDH screening program. Despite many previous studies, exact national DDH incidence is not known yet. In this study, we aimed to report the incidence of DDH in İstanbul, for adding new data to the literature. Methods: We reviewed the ultrasonography (USG) records of 1491 babies who had undergone hip USG examination during a one-year period (Jan 2, 2016-Dec 30, 2016). We assessed the hips using Graf’s classification of DDH. The incidence of DDH was calculated from these data. Result: We identified six type 2a (0.40%) and 1 type 2b (0.06%) cases, and we could not identified any case of type 2c, 2d, 3 and 4. Overall DDH incidence was found to be 0.46%. Of the seven DDH cases, five were female and two were male. None of the hips worsened during the two weeks of follow-up period, but most immature hips healed. Conclusion: This study suggests that the incidence of DDH in north-west İstanbul is lower than in other regions of Istanbul and Turkey. To have a more precise national incidence analysis, prospective multi-centered trials should be organized.

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common hip pathology which can be prevented with early diagnosis and treatment. Prevention, early diagnosis and treatment can be achieved if health professionals are endowed with adequate knowledge. Here, we aimed to evaluate the knowledge level of pediatric trainees and specialists in an education and training hospital and to review the up-to-date information about DDH. Materials and Methods: A multiple choice questionnaire about etiopathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of DDH was answered by the pediatric trainees and specialists in Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children Education and Training Hospital, İstanbul. NCSS 2007®, USA Software Program is used for statistical analysis.Results: Thirty-nine pediatric residents and twenty-one pediatric specialists were enrolled to the study. Person with DDH in the family, swaddling, breech presentation, female gender, oligohydroamnios were risk factors known with rate ≥70%. Metatarsus adductus, Larsen syndrome, congenital knee dislocation were the least known risk factors (≤10%). The recognition rates of residents and specialist about torticollis, multiple gestation, first born baby and metatarsus adductus as risk factors were statistically different (p

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common hip pathology which can be prevented with early diagnosis and treatment. Prevention, early diagnosis and treatment can be achieved if health professionals are endowed with adequate knowledge. Here, we aimed to evaluate the knowledge level of pediatric trainees and specialists in an education and training hospital and to review the up-to-date information about DDH. Materials and Methods: A multiple choice questionnaire about etiopathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of DDH was answered by the pediatric trainees and specialists in Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children Education and Training Hospital, İstanbul. NCSS 2007®, USA Software Program is used for statistical analysis. Results: Thirty-nine pediatric residents and twenty-one pediatric specialists were enrolled to the study. Person with DDH in the family, swaddling, breech presentation, female gender, oligohydroamnios were risk factors known with rate ≥70%. Metatarsus adductus, Larsen syndrome, congenital knee dislocation were the least known risk factors (≤10%). The recognition rates of residents and specialist about torticollis, multiple gestation, first born baby and metatarsus adductus as risk factors were statistically different (p<0.05). For the diagnosis of DDH, specialist tended to use conventional methods like physical examination and direct radiographs while residents chose computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imagining. Pediatric residents thought cigarette smoking (48.7%) and factors other than mechanic pressure of femoral head for the acetabular development (30.7%) as most responsible factors (p<0.05). There was no relationship between duration of residency, duration of being specialists, bearing children and knowledge about DDH. Conclusions: The actual knowledge of pediatricians about DDH should be improved and updated for the success of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of DDH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the long term clinical and radiological outcome of simultaneously combined surgery in developmental dysplasia of the hip. Material and Method: Fortyeight hips of 39 skeletally maturated patients who underwent simultaneously open reduction, innominate ostetomy and femoral osteotomy were evaluated. Mean follow up years were 12,8 (±3,9). Patients age, preoperative early postoperative and end control acetabular indexes, radiological and clinical classification outcomes, avascular necrosis, center-edge angles were reported. Results: According to Barrett's modified McKay criteria in 39 patients; 28 (%71,8) had excellent, 8 had (%20,5) good, 3 had (%7,7) fair results. There were no poor results. According to Kalamchi Mac Ewen classification in 39 patients there were 8 (%20,5) patients had avascular necrosis. Preoperative, early postoperative and end control acetabular indexes were analyzed. There were significant mean change (p<0.001). Conclusion: We investigated in our study that long term results of simultaneously combined surgery in developmental dysplasia of the hip were good outcome. But there were remarkable studies found low hip survive in very long term. We think that some pathologies, not able to find with conventional methods, may cause this catastrophic results. Very long term follow up will help us to find this pathologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
