ABSTRACT
Late-discovered developmental hip dysplasia deformities often necessitate complex surgical treatments and meticulous preoperative planning. The selection of osteotomies is contingent upon the patient's age and the specific structural deformity of the hip. In our anatomical hip model, derived from the data of a 12-year-old patient, we performed virtual osteotomies that are commonly recommended for such cases. We precisely constructed geometric models for various osteotomies, including the Dega, Pemberton, Tönnis, Ganz, Chiari pelvic, and Pauwels femoral osteotomies. We employed Autodesk Inventor for the finite element analysis of the hip joint and the corrective osteotomies. In comparing one-stage osteotomies, we noted that the Dega and Ganz pelvic osteotomies, especially when combined with the Pauwels femoral osteotomy, yielded the most favorable outcomes. These combinations led to enhanced femoral head coverage and reduced intra-articular pressure. Furthermore, we calculated the femoral head-to-acetabulum volume ratio for both the Dega and Pauwels osteotomies. The encouraging results we obtained advocate for the integration of finite element analysis in virtual osteotomies of the pelvis and femur as a preoperative tool in the management of developmental hip dysplasia.
