    IntroductionThe current published evidence for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with failed closed reduction (CR) following failed Pavlik harness (PH) treatment is still limited. This study aimed to determine whether an one-stage open reduction (OR) would lead to a similar outcome to a two-stage OR in these patients. Meanwhile, the occurrence of femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) and further surgery (pelvic osteotomy, PO) within the follow-up period was investigated.Materials And MethodsA consecutive series of DDH patients who failed CR following failed PH treatment and received OR finally between January 2008 and December 2020 were studied. The patients were divided into two groups. One group of which received OR immediately after failed CR (one-stage OR group, Group A), and the other received a delayed OR (two-stage OR group, Group B). The McKay's criteria, acetabular index (AI) and the degree of dislocation of the hips were evaluated for the final outcomes.ResultsAt the last follow-up, 54 (84.4%) of the 64 hips in Group A and 26 (83.9%) of 31 hips in Group B were in excellent or good condition. Comparison between the two groups revealed that there were no differences in terms of McKay grading (P = 0.950), AI (P = 0.783), incidence of AVN (P = 0.745), and also incidence of PO (P = 1.000). However, a significant lower mean AI was found in Group A, when the OR was performed in Group B (31.06 ± 4.45° vs. 33.87 ± 4.12°, P = 0.004).ConclusionBoth of the one- and two-stage OR may acheive favorable outcomes. Moreover, one-stage OR is of without the general anesthesia risk associated with two-stage OR. We therefore advocate that an OR should be performed in appropriate DDH patients during the same session once a failed CR is detected.© 2024.
