Do children <3years at index surgery for DDH have a better outcome at mid-term follow-up in comparison to children >3years at index surgery? A prospective comparative study
At an average follow-up of 5 years, children above and below 3 years at index procedure for DDH show similar outcomes but older ones need femoral osteotomy more frequently. Osteonecrosis risk rises with increasing age at index surgery and after re-operations, but its impact is not clear in mid-term.
