OBJECTIVE: To explore the early efficacy and safety of hip arthroscopy in the treatment of patients with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip(BDDH). METHODS: A total of 111 patients diagnosed with BDDH from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected and divided into two groups according to the surgical method. Among them, 63 patients who underwent arthroscopy were assigned to the arthroscopy group, including 22 males and 41 females with an average age of (35.67±6.83) years;48 patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy were assigned to the PAO group, including 18 males and 30 females with an average age of (36.85±7.10) years. The operation time, hospital stay, blood loss, rehabilitation time, complication rate, and reoperation rate were recorded in both groups. Imaging indicators of the two groups were measured and recorded. The modified Harris hip score (mHHS), nonarthritic hip score (NAHS), and hip outcome score-activity of daily living scale (HOS-ADL) were used to evaluate hip function and quality of life before and after surgery. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 12 months. The operation time (90.43±9.85) min, hospital stay(4.32±0.56) days, rehabilitation time (15.22±2.15) weeks, blood loss (25.69±6.57) ml, and number of complications (15 cases) in the arthroscopy group were all lower than those in the PAO group (117.25±15.83) min, (5.81±0.92) days, (21.10±3.74) weeks, (358.52±126.73) ml, 30 cases, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). At the last follow-up after treatment, the lateral center edge angle (LCEA) (19.82±1.90)° and anterior center edge angle (ACEA) (20.01±1.85)° in the arthroscopy group decreased compared with those before treatment (21.43±2.10)°, (21.54±2.05)°, while in the PAO group, the LCEA (33.03±3.45)° and ACEA (33.48±4.22)° at the last follow-up after treatment increased compared with those before treatment, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The T?nnis angle in the arthroscopy group after treatment (11.05±1.83)° increased compared with that before treatment, while in the PAO group, the T?nnis angle at the last follow-up after treatment (2.98±0.75)° decreased compared with that before treatment, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). In the arthroscopy group, the extrusion index (30.68±2.85) and T?nnis grade after treatment increased compared with those before treatment, while the α angle after treatment (38.79±4.27)° significantly decreased compared with that before treatment, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05);in the PAO group, the extrusion index (15.03±2.18) and α angle (53.58±6.02)° after treatment significantly decreased compared with those before treatment, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The mHHS score at the last follow-up after treatment in the arthroscopy group (86.41±7.33) was higher than that in the PAO group (81.02±6.49), with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). At 6 months after treatment, the NAHS (69.83±6.53) and HOS-ADL scores (78.84±7.39) in the arthroscopy group were higher than those in the PAO group (64.10±6.02), (75.31±7.01), with statistically significant differences (P<0.01);at the last follow-up after treatment, the NAHS (87.63±7.60) and HOS-ADL scores (88.94±8.11) in the arthroscopy group were higher than those in the PAO group (81.63±7.03), (83.63±7.92), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with PAO, hip arthroscopy shows better early to mid-term clinical efficacy in the treatment of BDDH patients. However, PAO has more advantages in improving acetabular imaging indicators of BDDH patients, while hip arthroscopy only improves the α angle of patients. Meanwhile, hip arthroscopy causes less trauma to patients, reduces blood loss, and is more conducive to the subsequent recovery of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of Salter osteotomy combined with subtrochanteric shortening and derotational osteotomy in treating Tönnis type Ⅲ and Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children and explore the urgical timing. METHODS: A retrospective collection was performed for 74 children with Tönnis type Ⅲ and Ⅳ DDH who were admitted between January 2018 and January 2020 and met the selection criteria, all of whom were treated with Salter osteotomy combined with subtrochanteric shortening and derotational osteotomy. Among them, there were 38 cases in the toddler group (age, 18-36 months) and 36 cases in the preschool group (age, 36-72 months). There was a significant difference in age between the two groups ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in gender, side, Tönnis typing, and preoperative acetabular index (AI) ( P>0.05). During follow-up, hip function was assessed according to the Mckay grade criteria; X-ray films were taken to observe the healing of osteotomy, measure the AI, evaluate the hip imaging morphology according to Severin classification, and assess the occurrence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) according to Kalamchi-MacEwen (K&M) classification criteria. RESULTS: All operations of both groups were successfully completed, and the incisions healed by first intention. All children were followed up 14-53 months, with an average of 27.9 months. There was no significant difference in the follow-up time between the two groups ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the excellent and good rates according to the Mckay grading were 94.73% (36/38) in the toddler group and 83.33% (30/36) in the preschool group, and the difference between the two groups was significant ( P<0.05). The imaging reexamination showed that all osteotomies healed with no significant difference in the healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in AI between the two groups at each time point after operation ( P>0.05), and the AI in the two groups showed a significant decreasing trend with time extension ( P<0.05). The result of Severin classification in the toddler group was better than that in the preschool group at last follow-up ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ONFH between the two groups ( P>0.05). In the toddler group, 2 cases were K&M type Ⅰ; in the preschool group, 3 were type Ⅰ, and 1 type Ⅱ. There was no dislocation after operation. CONCLUSION Salter osteotomy combined with subtrochanteric shortening and derotational osteotomy is an effective way to treat Tönnis type Ⅲ and Ⅳ DDH in children, and surgical interventions for children aged 18-36 months can achieve better results.

OBJECTIVE: To review research advances of revision surgery after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with Crowe type Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS: The recent literature on revision surgery after primary THA in patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH was reviewed. The reasons for revision surgery were analyzed and the difficulties of revision surgery, the management methods, and the related prosthesis choices were summarized. RESULTS: Patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH have small anteroposterior diameter of the acetabulum, large variation in acetabular and femoral anteversion angles, severe soft tissue contractures, which make both THA and revision surgery more difficult. There are many reasons for patients undergoing revision surgery after primary THA, mainly due to aseptic loosening of the prosthesis. Therefore, it is necessary to restore anatomical structures in primary THA, as much as possible and reduce the generation of wear particles to avoid postoperative loosening of the prosthesis. Due to the anatomical characteristics of Crowe type Ⅳ DDH, the patients have acetabular and femoral bone defects, and the repair and reconstruction of bone defects become the key to revision surgery. The acetabular side is usually reconstructed with the appropriate acetabular cup or combined metal block, Cage, or custom component depending on the extent of the bone defect, while the femoral side is preferred to the S-ROM prosthesis. In addition, the prosthetic interface should be ceramic-ceramic or ceramic-highly cross-linked polyethylene wherever possible. CONCLUSION The reasons leading to revision surgery after primary THA in patients with Crowe type Ⅳ DDH and the surgical difficulties have been clarified, and a large number of clinical studies have proposed corresponding revision modalities based on which good early- and mid-term outcomes have been obtained, but further follow-up is needed to clarify the long-term outcomes. With technological advances and the development of new materials, personalized prostheses for these patients are expected to become a reality.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a major cause of hip arthritis and ultimately total hip arthroplasty. Due to the dysplastic acetabulum, how to place the acetabular cup becomes a challenge in acetabular reconstruction for such patients. Especially in the acetabula classified as Crowe typeⅡand type Ⅲ, the dislocation of the femoral head causes bone defects above the true acetabulum, which will affect the stability of the acetabular cup when the acetabular reconstruction is performed at the true acetabulum. Many acetabular reconstruction methods such as bone grafting, the use of small acetabular cups, socket medialization technique, and high hip center technique are used to increase the host bone coverage of the cup. However, each method has its own shortcomings that can not be ignored so that there is no unified conclusion on the acetabular reconstruction methods for Crowe typeⅡand type Ⅲ hip dysplasia. This article summarized and evaluated various reconstruction methods in combination with the acetabular morphology of DDH, and put forward the research direction in the future.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of 3D-printed navigation template using in total hip arthroplasty(THA)for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS: Twenty five patients with DDH underwent total hip arthroplasty from February 2016 to May 2018 were analyzed retrospectively, including 4 males and 21 females, aged from 40 to 75 years old. Among them, 5 cases were Crowe typeⅡ, 14 cases were Crowe type Ⅲ and 6 cases were Crowe type Ⅳ. Twelve cases of them underwent THA with the 3D printing navigation plate, another 13 cases underwent the same operation but without the aid of navigation templates. All patients were treated by the same operators. The operating time, intra- and post-operative hemorrhage and Harris Hip Score(HHS) at six months postoperativelywere compared, anteversion angle, abduction angle and the distance from rotation center to the ischial tuberosity connection between ipsilateral and contralateral sides were also compared. RESULTS: All of the patients were followed up for 12 to 26 months. The operation time, intra- and post-operative hemorrhage and Harris score in the 3D printing group were better than those in the conventional hip replacement group( CONCLUSION The 3D-printed operation navigation template technique is an individualized, accurate and promisingtechnique for THA with DDH.
