Key result
Treatment of unstable dysplastic hips was associated with a more echogenic labrum in 97% of cases and a larger labrum in 96% of cases.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to analyse the role of the labrum with particular attention to its morphological changes in unstable dysplastic hips during treatment.
Does early treatment of unstable developmental dysplasia of the hip alter the morphological characteristics of the labrum?
Observational (n=86)
Does early treatment of unstable developmental dysplasia of the hip alter the morphological characteristics of the labrum?
In unstable dysplastic hips, the labrum undergoes a statistically significant increase in echogenicity and dimensions after treatment, suggesting an active stabilizing role.

May support labral adaptation after treatment in unstable DDH; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
The objective of the paper is to analyse the role of the labrum with particular attention to its morphological changes in unstable dysplastic hips during treatment. Between January 2013 and December 2015, data were collected on 86 unstable, dysplastic hips, which were divided into type D (n = 13), type III (n = 49) and type IV (n = 24). The labrum was evaluated with ultrasound examination (US) for echogenicity and dimensions with inter-/intra-observer tests comparing the US images at diagnosis and at the end of treatment. Statistical analysis was performed. At the end of treatment of unstable, dysplastic hips, the labrum was more echogenic with a frequency of 97% and was larger with a frequency of 96%. The labrum has an active stabilizing role in unstable dysplastic hips and it undergoes a statistically significant increase of echogenicity and dimensions after treatment.

Pellegrin et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Unstable developmental dysplasia of the hip (n=86). Treatment for unstable developmental dysplasia of the hip vs. Baseline (at diagnosis) was evaluated on Increased labrum echogenicity. Treatment of unstable dysplastic hips was associated with a more echogenic labrum in 97% of cases and a larger labrum in 96% of cases.
