Summary:Residual dysplasia was measured in Group 1, where the authors have defined it as the signifier for the need for additional surgery during childhood and adolescence, or centre-edge angle < 20° degrees at skeletal maturity, but this has been not elaborated upon. [...]the borderline cases may be subject to classification error as either Grade II or III. According to this study, the LMH classification predicted 50% of Grade III DDH cases from Group 1 (treated by traction and closed reduction only) needed total hip arthroplasty.
