The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of radiological deterioration in hips that were initially diagnosed and treated according to established guidelines within a university-based risk-enriched cohort and to identify associated risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients diagnosed with developmental DDH from 2009 to 2018 with sonographically healthy hips (alpha\u2009&gt;\u200964\u00b0) post conservative therapy and at least one follow-up X-ray by the age of two were analysed. Patients with significant comorbidities, syndromes, malformations, non-compliance with treatment, or missing X-ray data were excluded. Descriptive analysis of sonography, X-ray, and patient records were followed by univariate analysis and subsequent multiple logistic regression, identifying risk factors for severe and extreme dysplasia in X-rays.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 450 included hips, 254 were classified as Graf Type 2a or higher, leading to treatment. Subsequent X-rays revealed severe dysplasia in 53 hips and extreme dysplasia in seven hips. Univariate analysis identified sex, initial Graf-Type, therapy type and duration as significantly associated with pathological radiographs. A regression model identified the initial Graf type as the predominant predictor with hip types 3a and 4, cast therapy and overhead extension as independent predictors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The data demonstrate pathological findings even after successful conservative treatment of DDH. Worsening of X-ray findings appear less frequent in mild dysplasia. These insights support routine radiographic follow-up assessments after successful conservative therapy. However, further dedicated studies are needed to determine whether patients with initially normal radiographs require radiographic follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-024-05695-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,16]],"date-time":"2024-12-16T09:01:50Z","timestamp":1734339710000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Utility of routine X-ray surveillance following hip sonography for developmental dysplasia in children: a single-center study spanning a decade"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"145","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9859-362X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthias","family":"Wolf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leon","family":"Haas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefanos","family":"Tsitlakidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julian","family":"Deisenhofer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Axel","family":"Horsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S\u00e9bastien","family":"Hagmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katharina Susanne","family":"Gather","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"5695_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"501","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1045177","volume":"136","author":"L Altenhofen","year":"1998","unstructured":"Altenhofen L, Allhoff PG, Niethard FU (1998) Hip ultrasound screening within the scope of U3\u2014initial experiences.
