Why the study?
Does developmental dysplasia of the hip alter the maximum range of movement and risk of bony impingement compared to normal healthy hips?
Population
125 hip joints, comprising 52 with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and 73 normal healthy hip joints
Comparison
Computed tomography with three-dimensional… vs Normal healthy hip joints
Design
Case-control

May inform impingement assessment in DDH; leaves open prospective validation of symptom impact and management.
Does developmental dysplasia of the hip alter the maximum range of movement and risk of bony impingement compared to normal healthy hips?
DDH hips exhibit altered 3D morphology and range of motion, with a higher risk of extra-articular impingement, particularly posterior impingement in patients with highly anteverted femoral necks.
NAKAHARA et al. (2014) studied this question.
