DYSPLASIA OF HIP DEVELOPMENT: UPDATE.
Revista Brasileira De Ortopedia
|March 30, 2016
Summary
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of hip abnormalities. Early clinical diagnosis using Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers, with ultrasound, is crucial for effective treatment.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Developmental Biology
- Medical Diagnostics
Background:
- Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses hip abnormalities from dysplasia to dislocation.
- Incidence varies globally, with Brazil reporting 5/1000 for positive Ortolani sign.
- Risk factors include female sex, breech presentation, and family history.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of DDH.
- To highlight the importance of early detection in newborns and infants.
- To discuss the challenges in managing DDH.
Main Methods:
- Clinical examination using Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers for diagnosis.
- Ultrasound of the hip as the preferred imaging modality for newborns.
- Review of classical treatment approaches based on age at diagnosis.
Main Results:
- DDH presents a spectrum of hip growth abnormalities.
- Early clinical signs like the Ortolani sign are key indicators.
- Ultrasound is superior to radiography for neonatal DDH diagnosis.
Conclusions:
- Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for successful DDH management.
- Clinical hip examination and ultrasound are vital diagnostic tools.
- Treatment strategies are age-dependent and aim for joint stabilization.

The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

01:07Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
2.7K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

01:24Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification
12.6K
Bone formation, or ossification, begins around the sixth to seventh week of embryonic development. Most bones develop from a cartilaginous template through the process of endochondral ossification. Cartilage formation begins when clusters of mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. These chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an extracellular matrix that becomes encased in a membrane called the perichondrium. The resulting cartilage model provides a template that resembles the...

01:29Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification
14.4K
Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
