Hip sonograms of 74 infants (59 females, 15 males; 141 hips) with DDH were retrospectively reviewed. Hip sonographic score (HSS; ranges 0-10) was developed to reflect hip status based on sonographic position, stability, and morphology. Analysis on different management groups (i.e., no treatment, successful treatment, and failed treatment) showed that the trend of HSS is helpful in predicting course of the disease and determining effectiveness of treatment. A model for the management of DDH that utilizes an HSS and frequency schedule for hip sonography that is aligned with times of critical treatment decisions is proposed. This model illustrates how hip sonography can bring added value when timed to guide critical treatment decisions.

No research has compared TKA and THA readmission rates by region and Medicaid expansion status. This study compares THA and TKA readmission rates in the United States by region, Medicaid status, and performance. One-way ANOVAs were conducted to determine the regions with the highest and lowest mean excess readmission ratios (ERRs). An independent t-test compared Medicaid versus non-Medicaid expansion states. Southern hospitals have the highest mean ERR, followed by northeastern, midwestern, and then western hospitals. Although Medicaid expansion states have significantly lower ERRs compared to non-expansion states, Medicaid status alone does not account for regional differences in ERRs after THA and TKA. Regional factors likely confound Medicaid status's effect on readmission rates.
