Abstrakt: Purpose: The aims of this study were to 1) assess femoral head translation during weight-bearing in symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and 2) compare it between borderline DDH and definite DDH. Methods: The study included four individuals with borderline DDH and nine with definite DDH, scheduled for periacetabular osteotomy. Anteroposterior X-ray images of the hip joint were obtained in the standing position, and computed tomography images of the pelvis were obtained in the supine position. Femoral head translation from the supine to a standing position was measured using 2D/3D X-ray image registration. Results: From a supine to a standing position, the femoral head translated 0.3 mm laterally, 0.5 mm anteriorly, and 0.5 mm superiorly on average. The mean femoral head translation in 3D between the supine and standing positions was 1.5 mm. The 3D femoral head translation in the borderline DDH group was significantly greater than that in the definite DDH group. In the definite DDH group, there was a significant correlation between the center edge (CE) angle and 3D femoral head translation (ρ = -0.78, P = 0.012). Conclusions: Symptomatic DDH showed femoral head translation in the anterior, lateral, and superior directions during weight-bearing. In definite DDH, the amount of femoral head translation was negatively correlated with the CE angle. The amount of 3D translation in patients with borderline DDH was larger than that in definite DDH. Dynamic joint instability during weight-bearing was observed in borderline DDH as well as definite DDH. Treatment to enhance joint stability during weight-bearing is important in both cases.
