Purpose: Our objective was to find the best predictor of late residual acetabular dysplasia in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after closed reduction (CR) and discuss the indications for secondary surgery. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 89 patients with DDH (mean age 16.1 ± 4.6 months; 99 hips) who were treated by...

Aims The aim of this study was to clarify the factors that predict the development of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head in children with a fracture of the femoral neck. Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 239 children with a mean age of 10.0 years (sd 3.9) who underwent surgical treatment for a femoral neck fracture....

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between avascular necrosis (AVN) and the amount (severity) and direction (translation and angulation) of initial displacement of pediatric femoral neck fractures. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 108 pediatric patients (mean age 10.3 ± 4.1 years) with femoral neck fractures. The amount of initial...
