Hip Morphology on Post-Reduction MRI Predicts Residual Dysplasia 10 Years After Open or Closed Reduction.
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume 2023 November 23
BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence supporting the value of morphological parameters on post-reduction magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict long-term residual acetabular dysplasia (RAD) after closed or open reduction for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of 42 patients (47 hips) undergoing open or closed reduction with a minimum 10 years of follow-up; 39 (83%) of the hips were in female patients, and the median age at reduction was 6.3 months (interquartile range [IQR], 3.3 to 8.9 months). RAD was defined as additional surgery with an acetabular index >2 standard deviations above the age- and sex-specific population-based mean value or Severin classification grade of >2 at last follow-up. Acetabular version and depth-width ratio, coronal and axial femoroacetabular distance, cartilaginous and osseous acetabular indices, transverse ligament thickness, and the thickness of the medial and lateral (limbus) acetabular cartilage were measured on post-reduction MRI.
RESULTS: At the time of final follow-up, 24 (51%) of the hips had no RAD; 23 (49%) reached a failure end point at a median of 11.4 years (IQR, 7.6 to 15.4 years). Most post-reduction MRI measurements, with the exception of the cartilaginous acetabular index, revealed a significant distinction between the group with RAD and the group with no RAD when mean values were compared. The coronal femoroacetabular distance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC], 0.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.90 to 1.00), with a 5-mm cutoff, and limbus thickness (AUC, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.83 to 0.99), with a 4-mm cutoff, had the highest discriminatory ability. A 5-mm cutoff for the coronal femoroacetabular distance produced 96% sensitivity (95% CI, 78% to 100%), 83% specificity (95% CI, 63% to 95%), 85% positive predictive value (95% CI, 65% to 96%), and 95% negative predictive value (95% CI, 76% to 100%). A 4-mm cutoff for limbus thickness had 96% sensitivity (95% CI, 78% to 100%), 63% specificity (95% CI, 41% to 81%), 71% positive predictive value (95% CI, 52% to 86%), and 94% negative predictive value (95% CI, 70% to 100%).
CONCLUSIONS: Coronal femoroacetabular distance, a quantitative metric assessing a reduction's concentricity, and limbus thickness, a quantitative metric assessing the acetabulum's cartilaginous component, help to predict hips that will have RAD in the long term after closed or open reduction.
