The fate of inverted limbus in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip: Clinical observation

Jiahui Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that in DDH patients treated with closed reduction, the inverted limbus was not absorbed in most cases but evolved into a layer of fibrous tissue, potentially delaying the endochondral ossification of the acetabulum.

Secondary Surgery and Residual Dysplasia Following Late Closed or Open Reduction of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

William Z. Morris et al.

Part-time Abduction Bracing in Infants With Residual Acetabular Dysplasia: Does Compliance Monitoring Support a Dose-dependent Relationship?

Ishaan Swarup et al.

Summary: Part-time abduction bracing is effective for treating residual dysplasia, with the degree of improvement in acetabular index correlating with hours of brace wear per day. The optimal hours of wear may depend on the severity of residual dysplasia and the tolerance of the child and family to bracing.
