Abstract:
Objective To discuss the feasibility of ultrasound in evaluating the effect of closed reduction with cast fixation on developmental dislocation of the hip.Methods Seventy-three cases with unilateral DDH treated by closed reduction with cast fixation under frog position were detected by ultrasound on the medial cross-section of the hips.The position relation between femoral head and acetabulum of the hips were demonstrated,the relevant parameters (the vertical distance between the femoral head and the central line through pubic symphysis) were measured and compared with the contralateral side to understand the situation of the femoral head.Results The contour of the femoral head and the ossification center can be visually displayed,the relative position relation of the femoral head and acetabulum can be demonstrated on the medial cross-section of the hip under frog position by ultrasound to judge the status of closed reduction.The measurement of the ultrasonic parameters can provide quantitative indicator for the status of reduction.Conclusions Ultrasound can be viewed as the first imaging tool to evaluate the effect of closed reduction with cast fixation on developmental dislocation of the hip for it is simple,intuitive and no radiation injury.
