MRI-based parameters to assess the quality and prognosis of closed reduction in toddlers with developmental dysplasia of the hip
Closed reduction with spica casting remains an effective treatment for DDH in toddlers. Postoperative MRI evaluation using only aAFD and CAHI offers a reliable and clinically applicable method for assessing reduction quality. Larger aAFD and lower CAHI values indicate a higher risk of reduction failure, making these indices valuable for postoperative assessment and decision-making.
