The Ambiguity of Names and Landmarks in Radiographs of the Pediatric Pelvis: Variations and a Historical Perspective

“…First, we reviewed classic articles in the field where methods were originally described, as well as commonly used variations. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The choice of articles for this section was made jointly by the authors. Second, we mapped the contemporary variations in terminology from the field by performing an electronic literature search in May 2021 that covered the past 10 years using PubMed.…”

Stability in Pelvic Triple Osteotomies in Children Using Resorbable PLGA Screws for Fixation

“…and P.A.). The parameters measured were Sharp acetabular angle (SA), Hilgenreiner acetabular index (AI), Reimer migration percentage (also known as Reimer’s index) (MP) and the lateral center-edge angle of Wiberg (CE) 21–24. For the CE angle, AI, SA, and MP the bony edge was used rather than the sourcil 25…”

“…The parameters measured were Sharp acetabular angle (SA), Hilgenreiner acetabular index (AI), Reimer migration percentage (also known as Reimer's index) (MP) and the lateral center-edge angle of Wiberg (CE). [21][22][23][24] For the CE angle, AI, SA, and MP the bony edge was used rather than the sourcil. 25 Since the main purpose of the measurements was to evaluate the persistent stability of the osteotomy we used multiple parameters.…”

Assessment of Pavlik Harness Effectiveness in 3-6 Months Old Patients With Unstable Hips

“…Radiographic examination (anteroposterior and frog leg lateral X-rays) was performed after the cessation of the treatment with PH, at the end of the treatment with hip abduction orthosis, and at the final follow-up visit. In order to assess residual acetabular dysplasia, the acetabular index (AI) as described by Hilgenreiner was measured on all AP radiographs (11). The Kalamchi and MacEwen classification were also used to examine avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN) (12).…”

“…According to the Graf classification, DDH was determined as Type D in 18 hips (52%), Type IIIa in 5 hips, Type IIIB in 3 (24%) and Type IV in 8 (24%). Of these 34 hips, 28 (82%) were treated successfully using PH, with a mean application time of 11.24 weeks (range, [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The success rate of PH treatment was determined as 82% (28/34 hips).…”
