MRI is a safe and reliable gold standard for early detection of dislocation after closed reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
On the basis of our experience, MRI is an excellent, safe and, reliable modality to confirm maintenance of adequate femoral head position and to evaluate soft tissue interposition. We agree that MRI is the gold standard to early depict dislocation after closed reduction of DDH.
Supports MRI for post-reduction DDH evaluation; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
