[National Register of Joint Replacement Reflecting the Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Newborns].

CONCLUSIONS A low number of arthroplasties implanted for hip dislocation in the Czech population is recorded in the National Register of Joint Replacement. This confirms the success of the existing system of neonatal hip screening; the results show that the treatment of hip dislocation in children is successful. The ongoing decline in the share of patients in the population treated by total hip replacement in postdysplastic degeneration has been confirmed. Data evolution will be subject to further research in the upcoming decades, with a positive effect of ultrasound monitoring of treatment to be foreseen. Key words: developmental dysplasia of the hip, screening, register of joint replacements. PMID: 31748106 [PubMed - in process]
