NCT02633904

Brief Summary

Although older children and high dislocations may be more likely to require a femoral shortening osteotomy, the ultimate decision about whether or not to shorten a given femur should depend on the ease of femoral head reduction in that specific patient. Adding a femoral shortening procedure increases operating time and blood loss, adds a second incision, and necessitates future hardware removal. In addition, an unnecessary femoral shortening osteotomy could overly decrease the soft tissue tension around the joint, putting the hip at risk for redislocation. This study was designed to explore an algorithm based on strict age and radiographic criteria that identify those without the need of femoral osteotomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Femur Head Necrosis

    Radiological evaluation was performed using standard anterior-posterior radiographs of the pelvis. The presence and grade of femur head necrosis was evaluated according to the method presented by Bucholz and Odgen.

    2 years

  • Redislocation

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.

    2 years

  • Acetabular index

    Standardized radiographs have been traditionally used in the surveillance of hip dysplasia by measuring the acetabular index, which is the angle subtended between the Hilgenreiner line and a line drawn from the triradiate cartilage to the lateral edge of the acetabulum.
