| Popis: | Purpose . The goal of our study was to investigate the prevalence of late DDH cases in breech infants who had a normal screening hip ultrasound and subsequent follow-up hip x-ray imaging. Methods . Infants with a history of intrauterine breech position, normal hip ultrasound within 3-months of birth, and follow-up hip x-rays within 2-years were included. Acetabular indices were measured on a supine AP pelvis radiograph. Results . Fifty-six patients had breech presentation at birth, a normal hip ultrasound, and returned for radiographic evaluation within 2 years. Of those, 11/112 (10%) of hips had late DDH based on their radiographic images at 1 standard deviation greater than normative values from age-adjusted controls. No infants showed hip dysplasia at 2 standard deviations greater than normative values from age-adjusted controls. Conclusions . Our results support previous studies that follow up should be considered for infants with breech presentation and normal hip ultrasounds near birth. Level of evidence . II. |
