Key result
Treatment methods for late presenting developmental hip dysplasia are supported by only a handful of studies reporting long-term outcomes into adulthood after successful reduction.
Why the study?
What are the long-term outcomes of different treatments for late presenting developmental hip dysplasia?
What are the long-term outcomes of different treatments for late presenting developmental hip dysplasia?
This review evaluates the long-term outcomes of treatments for late presenting developmental hip dysplasia into adulthood.
Sparse long-term adult data limit late developmental hip dysplasia treatments; leaves open optimal strategies and requires prospective studies.
Successful management of late presenting hip dislocation in childhood is judged by the outcome not just at skeletal maturity but well beyond into adulthood and late middle age. This review considers different methods of treatment and looks critically at the handful of studies reporting long-term follow-up after successful reduction.
