Background: There is a paucity of studies on the iliac curvature in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Here, we examined the iliac curvature in DDH using three-dimensional computed tomography.
Methods: We allocated cases with a center-edge angle of < 20° to the DDH group (55 cases) and cases with a center-edge angle of > 25° to the control group (57 cases) and measured the straight line (line A) between the anterior and posterior superior iliac spines. We examined which part of the iliac bone line A passes through and classified the results into 4 categories (type A, inside the iliac bone; type B, through the iliac bone; type C, outside the iliac bone; and type D, both inside and outside the iliac bone) to evaluate the iliac wing curvature. After measuring the area and internal surface of the iliac wing using line A, we examined the correlation between these values, the interspinous distance, the superior iliac angle, and the center-edge angle.
Results: Distributions of the four types were compared between the two groups; there was no significant difference. The length of the portion of line A inside the ilium and the area formed by line A and the iliac wing, which shows the degree of iliac wing curvature, were not significantly different between the groups. There were no correlations between these values and the center-edge angle; however, there were weak positive correlations among the interspinous distance, the superior iliac angle, and the center-edge angle.
Conclusions: The inward nature of the iliac bone in patients with DDH is mainly due to the internal rotation of the entire iliac bone and less likely due to the curvature of the iliac bone.
