Anatomical changes and imaging manifestations of childhood developmental dysplasia of the hip / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a common hip developmental deformity in children. Clinical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip differs in different periods. Early treatment has better efficacy, fewer complications, and better long-term prognosis. It can reduce the recurrence rate, reduce economic pressure, and improve the quality of life. Therefore, early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip is becoming more and more important clinically. OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of anatomical changes and imaging manifestations of developmental dysplasia of the hip. METHODS: “DDH, Anatomy, X-ray Radiography, CT, MRI, Ultrasound” were used as English search terms. “Developmental hip dysplasia; anatomy; X-ray photography; CT; MRI, ultrasound” were used as Chinese search terms. The authors searched English databases such as PubMed and Springerlink, and Chinese databases such as Wanfang and CNKI from January 1990 to December 2019. Irrelevant and repetitive articles were excluded, and finally 55 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Imaging diagnosis as a non-invasive examination method has become the preferred examination method for the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip, and its anatomical changes are more conducive to clinical imaging diagnosis. Routine X-ray examination can be used for rapid screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip. MRI helps to distinguish the early signal changes of soft tissue structure and bony structure. Three-dimensional CT can evaluate the acetabular bone structure changes from multiple angles, excluding the obstruction caused by posture factors. Ultrasonography is more sensitive to fluid and can also perform early screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Thus, different imaging examinations have their advantages and complement each other to improve the early diagnosis rate of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
