Abstract
Background: Abnormal prenatal hip joint loading can lead to compromised hip joint function. Early intervention is crucial for favorable outcomes.
Purpose: This study investigates the impact of treatment timing (initiation and duration) on cartilage growth and ossification in the proximal femur of infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip, a condition affecting newborns.
Methods: We used a mechanobiological model to simulate proximal femur growth during treatment durations of 3 months, 6 months, and a late-start treatment.
Results: The findings indicate that the timing of treatment initiation is crucial, while a longer treatment duration does not contribute to improved morphological development of the hip joint.
Conclusions: Mechanobiological models of growth can be used to develop treatments and therapies that correct loading conditions. Growing bone is particularly sensitive to loading conditions, and altered loading during growth can affect bone shape and functionality.
期刊介绍:
The HSS Journal is the Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery. The aim of the HSS Journal is to promote cutting edge research, clinical pathways, and state-of-the-art techniques that inform and facilitate the continuing education of the orthopaedic and musculoskeletal communities. HSS Journal publishes articles that offer contributions to the advancement of the knowledge of musculoskeletal diseases and encourages submission of manuscripts from all musculoskeletal disciplines.
