ABSTRACT
Borderline acetabular dysplasia refers to mildly sub-normal patterns of acetabular shape and coverage that might predispose children to mechanical dysfunction and instability. Borderline dysplasia generally includes children with a lateral center edge angle (CEA) of 18-24°. Some children with borderline radiographic measurements have normal joint mechanics and function while others benefit from acetabular reorienting surgery. Although radiographic findings of borderline dysplasia might suggest instability, the ultimate diagnosis is based on history and physical exam in addition to imaging. Children with borderline acetabular dysplasia sometimes benefit from other cross-sectional imaging studies such as MR imaging to evaluate for secondary evidence of instability, including damage along the acetabular rim, or labral degeneration and hypertrophy. CT is also helpful for depiction of 3-D acetabular morphology for preoperative assessment and planning. Pediatric radiologists are often the first to identify borderline or mild dysplasia on radiographs. It is imperative that pediatric radiologists serve as effective consultants and offer appropriate recommendations as part of a cohesive multidisciplinary approach to this complex patient population.
