Long-leg spica casts demonstrate superior outcomes in developmental dysplasia of the hip: a multi-center retrospective analysis of failure risks and protective factors
Long-leg spica casting shows superior biomechanical stability in DDH management post-CR, particularly for high-risk patients. These findings support its preferential use in patients with bilateral involvement, advanced dysplasia, or older age (>6 months).
