Risk factors for implant-related fractures after proximal femoral osteotomy in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip: a case-control study

摘要

Background and purpose — Proximal femoral osteotomy (PFO) is commonly performed to treat children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Implant-related femoral fractures after osteotomy are sometimes reported, but the potential risk factors for these fractures remain unclear. We investigated the association of implant-related fractures with PFO and potential risk factors for these fractures.
