Warm greetings to all from the International Journal of Paediatric Orthopaedics Editorial Team.

We are pleased to present the 3rd POSI issue of IJPO. Thanks to the overwhelming response to our invitation for submissions, our team of reviewers and editors have been kept busy in the past few months. We would like to express our gratitude to the entire POSI family from around the world and to all the authors for their submissions. With your continued support, the journal will reach great heights in the years to come.
This issue has an informative and exhaustively researched symposium on lateral condyle fractures of the humerus. The articles in the symposium will provide a comprehensive and updated overview about this condition that poses significant challenges to the treating surgeon. The authors are acknowledged experts in paediatric trauma from India and around the world. It has been specially designed to supplement the material available in orthopaedic textbooks for the benefit of trainees, in addition to providing treatment pearls for the practising orthopaedic surgeon.
We have original articles and interesting case reports from India, United Kingdom, Portugal, Senegal on a wide variety of paediatric orthopaedic conditions including DDH, infection and its sequelae and clubfoot managed in diverse healthcare systems.
Due to the unprecedented increase in submissions, we call upon the POSI fraternity to help the society journal by joining our team of reviewers. This will help us to complete the peer review process in a timely manner. Being a part of our team will help also young surgeons to better understand the review process and develop their writing skills.
We look forward to hearing from you with suggestions for further improvement.

Sincerely

Jayanth S Sampath FRCSEd (Tr & Orth)

Abstract

Aim: We aimed to assess outcomes of a 12-year longitudinal observational study of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) requiring surgical intervention.

Method: We conducted a prospective study from 2004 to 2015 of all cases of DDH undergoing surgical intervention. In addition to clinical examination, Tönnis acetabular index (AI) method and International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) grading used. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN) was assessed by the Kalamchi method.

Results & Discussion: There were 81 hips in 72 patients (12 male, 60 female). Mean age of the first operative procedure was 16.4 months (95% CI, 13.66 to 19.14). Mean follow up was 47.6 months (95% CI, 41.8 to 53.4). 31 children underwent closed reductions, 48 required open reduction; 17 femoral and 39 pelvic osteotomies were performed during the course of the study. Overall, post-surgery 96.3 % were noted to have an acceptable AI (< 2 SD of the mean). Five hips were considered to have poor results due to residual subluxation/ dislocation (6.2%). Evidence of avascular necrosis was present in 16 of the 81 hips (19.8%).

Higher grades of hip pathology were generally associated with a later age of diagnosis and likely to require more extensive surgical interventions.

Conclusion: Operative intervention for DDH results in acceptable clinical and radiographic outcomes in the vast majority of children.

Keywords: DDH, Developmental Dysplasia of the hip, Surgery.
