Femoral morphology in Ortolani’s anatomical collection of developmental dysplasia of the hip: Anteversion is unrelated to severity of infantile dysplasia
Abstract:Purpose: This study evaluated and quantified femoral anteversion and femoral head sphericity in healthy and dysplastic hips of post-mortem infant specimens from Ortolani’s collection. Methods: Healthy hips and hips with cases of dysplasia, with a large variety of severity, were preserved. Morphological measurements were taken on 14 specimens (28 hips), with a mean age of 4.68 months. The degree of dysplasia was classified as mild (A) to severe (D); 11 hips were Grade A, 6 hips were Grade B, 7 hips were Grade C… Show more
