This study identified reliable and sensitive radiographic measures for hip dysplasia in children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which can be prioritized for hip screening to mitigate the deleterious effects of hip dysplasia, pain, and disability in adulthood.
Background: Hip dysplasia is a lack of femoral head coverage and disruption of hip and acetabular alignment and congruency, with severity ranging from mild subluxation in nascent at-risk hips to complete dislocation. Presentation of hip dysplasia in neuromuscular conditions can be sub-clinical or associated with a limp with or without hip pain, abductor and flexor weakness and reduced hip range of motion. Untreated hip dysplasia leads to early onset osteoarthritis requiring hip arthroplasty in early adulthood. Hip dysplasia occurs in 6-20% of children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, however little is known about the reliability and sensitivity of detection on plain film pelvic radiographs. Methods: 14 common measures of hip dysplasia on anteroposterior pelvis radiographs were independently assessed by 2 orthopaedic specialists in 30 ambulant children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Hip health was also categorised based on clinical impression to assess the sensitivity of radiographic measures to identify hip dysplasia status. Results: 8 measures (acetabular index, head width, lateral centre-edge angle, lateral uncoverage, medial joint width, migration percentage, neck shaft angle, triradiate status) exhibited 'excellent' reliability between clinical evaluators. 5 of the 30 patients (17%) were identified as having nascent hip dysplasia. Reliable radiographic measures that significantly distinguished between nascent hip dysplasia and healthy hips were acetabular index, lateral centre edge angle, medial joint width and migration percentage. Conclusions: We have identified a subset of reliable and sensitive radiographic hip measures in children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease to prioritise during hip screening to mitigate the deleterious effects of hip dysplasia, pain and disability in adulthood.
