Acetabular Remodeling and Role of Osteotomy After Closed Reduction of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Conclusions:
Hips with DDH showing poor acetabular remodeling after closed reduction may benefit from osteotomy. The AI and CEA at the age of 3 years can serve as one of the guidelines for osteotomy. Continued surveillance for acetabular remodeling is required even after osteotomy.

Level of Evidence:
Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
