Key result
Three-dimensional MRI provides a novel approach for confirming the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants and evaluating the reducibility of the affected hip.
Why the study?
Does three-dimensional MRI improve the visualization and diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants?
Does three-dimensional MRI improve the visualization and diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants?
Three-dimensional MRI provides a novel and useful approach for visualizing and diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants.
May aid infant DDH assessment; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) includes various abnormalities such as instability, subluxation, and dislocation. In selecting the appropriate treatment method, it is important to distinguish these abnormalities from each other. We developed a novel approach for diagnosing DDH using three-dimensional MRI, which are used to visualize the spatial relation between the dislocated femoral head and the acetabulum and to clarify the changes during hip joint movement. The three-dimensional MRI are useful for confirming the diagnosis of DDH and for evaluating the reducibility of the affected hip.

Fukiage et al. (2013) studied Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3D MRI) was evaluated on Diagnosis of DDH and evaluation of reducibility. Three-dimensional MRI provides a novel approach for confirming the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants and evaluating the reducibility of the affected hip.
