Combination of some findings of two different screening methods in DDH: Presentation of our findings in a large population
Journal Title: Applied Science Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish the diagnostic value of combine using static (Graf) and dynamic (Harcke) ultrasonography methods. Both static and dynamic methods were used only in Graf’s Type 1 and Graf’s Type 2a patients. Groups were classified as normal findings (Group A), follow-up group (Group B) and DDH group (Group C). In Group B patients 17 of 20 hips were followed; 5 of them diagnosed as DDH and classified as Group C after follow up studies. In initial evaluation 14 hips were followed according to the result of Harcke’s. Whereas 18 hips were directed to follow up for their suspicious Graf’s result. When both methods were combined to determine suspicious cases 20 hips were classified as Group B. Twelve hips were directed to follow up in both methods. After 3 months hips were reevaluated and 4 hips were diagnosed to be DDH according to both methods. One hip was diagnosed as DDH by only Graf’s method, it was stable in Hercke’s. Eleven hips were normal for both methods. Static and dynamic methods leads to diagnose DDH easily without repetitions and precludes confusing of methods by leaving β angle measurement of the hip.
