摘要
Purpose: To validate accuracy of diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) from geometric properties of acetabular shape extracted from three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography (US).
Materials and Methods: In this retrospective multi-institutional study, 3D US was added to conventional two-dimensional (2D) US of 1728 infants (mean age, 67 days; age range, 3-238 days) evaluated for DDH from January 2013 to December 2016. Clinical diagnosis after more than 6 months follow-up was normal (n = 1347), borderline (Graf IIa, later normalizing spontaneously; n = 140) or dysplastic (Graf IIb or higher, n = 241). Custom software accessible through the institution's research portal automatically calculated indexes including 3D posterior and anterior alpha angle and osculating circle radius from hip surface models generated with less than 1 minute of user input. Logistic regression predicted clinical diagnosis (normal = 0, dysplastic = 1) from 3D indexes (ie, age and sex). Output represented probability of hip dysplasia from 0 to 1 (output: >0.9, dysplastic; 0.11-0.89, borderline; <0.1, normal). Software can be accessed through the research portal.
Results: Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was equivalently high for 3D US indexes and 2D US alpha angle (0.996 vs 0.987). Three-dimensional US helped to correctly categorize 97.5% (235 of 241) dysplastic and 99.4% (1339 of 1347) normal hips. No dysplastic hips were categorized as normal. Correct diagnosis was provided at initial 3D US scan in 69.3% (97 of 140) of the studies diagnosed as borderline at initial 2D US scans.
Conclusion: Automatically calculated 3D indexes of acetabular shape performed equivalently to high-quality 2D US scans at tertiary medical centers to help diagnose DDH. Three-dimensional US reduced the number of borderline studies requiring follow-up imaging by over two-thirds.
