Biomechanical investigation of pelvic stability in developmental dysplasia of the hip: unilateral salter osteotomy versus one-stage bilateral salter osteotomy.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common disease in infants and children, and the treatment of bilateral DDH remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the stability of one-stage bilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy for bilateral DDH in patients of walking age. METHODS:In total, nine child cadavers aged 2-6 years were included. A universal mechanical testing machine was used for stability test. We performed two different surgical procedures on the specimens: nine child cadavers underwent unilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy, and six child cadavers were randomly selected to undergo Salter pelvic osteotomy again to simulate one-stage bilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy. The stability of the bilateral sacroiliac joints, local stability of the operation area, ultimate load test, and axial stiffness were evaluated. RESULTS:Both unilateral and bilateral Salter osteotomy could destroy the integrity of the pelvic ring and increase the risk of pelvic instability. In this study, compared with unilateral Salter osteotomy, bilateral Salter osteotomy had similar pelvic stability, and there was no significant difference between unilateral and bilateral Salter osteotomy in sacroiliac joint stability (p > 0.05), local stability (p = 0.763), ultimate load (p = 0.328), and axial stiffness (p = 0.480). CONCLUSIONS:One-stage bilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy as a potential surgical method is viable and stable for children with bilateral DDH.

Project description:BackgroundWhen reconstructing a hip with developmental dysplasia and high dislocation, sub-trochanteric shortening osteotomy is typically needed for placing the acetabular component in the appropriate anatomical position. However, the procedure can result in complications such as non-union of the osteotomy. We evaluated the contact area and the coincidence rate between the proximal and distal fragments at different femoral osteotomy levels and lengths. We then determined the optimal location of subtrochanteric femoral shortening transverse osteotomy in patients with unilateral Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The consistency between the proximal and distal segments was assessed as a possible predictive indicator of the union at the osteotomy site.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 57 patients with unilateral Crowe type IV?DDH who underwent X-ray imaging of both hip joints. We labelled the inner and outer diameters of the circular ring as N (mm) and M (mm), respectively. We defined the overlapped area between the proximal and distal ring as contact area S (mm2), and the ratio of contact area to distal ring area as coincidence rate R.ResultsN varied from 9.8-15.2?mm and M varied from 20.7-24?mm, both demonstrated a decreasing trend in the proximal to distal direction. At osteotomy lengths ranging from 0.5-2?cm, there were no differences in S between the different levels of osteotomy in each group. At osteotomy lengths ?2.5?cm, a significant higher coincidence rate was noted from 2?cm below the lesser trochanter to other positions below the level. At osteotomy lengths from 3 to 5.5?cm, a significantly higher coincidence rate was observed from the level of 1.5?cm below the lesser trochanter to other positions below the level.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that femoral shortening transverse osteotomy at the optimal subtrochanteric level can predictably increase the contact area and coincidence rate, which may contribute to the union at the osteotomy site. Considering the stability of the prostheses, it appears appropriate that osteotomy location should be shifted slightly distally.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered.
