What this Trial Is About
The goal of this observational study is to learn how four acetabular osteotomy techniques change the shape of the hip socket in children and adolescents with developmental dysplasia of the hip or residual acetabular dysplasia. The main questions it aims to answer are: How do virtual Salter, Dega, San Diego, and Pemberton osteotomies differ in acetabular volume and surface shape on participant-specific three-dimensional models? How closely does the virtual result of the osteotomy actually performed match the early postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)? Participants will have a three-dimensional pelvis-acetabulum model created from preoperative MRI. Researchers will perform virtual Salter, Dega, San Diego, and Pemberton osteotomies on that model and measure the resulting acetabular morphology. The virtual result of the osteotomy actually performed will then be compared with the participant's early postoperative MRI.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Age between 2 and 18 years
- Diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip or residual acetabular dysplasia
- Planned primary Salter, Dega, San Diego, or Pemberton acetabular osteotomy at Istanbul University
- Preoperative hip MRI available within 6 weeks before surgery
- Early postoperative hip MRI available 3 to 8 weeks after surgery
- MRI quality suitable for three-dimensional morphometric analysis
- Unilateral or bilateral cases are eligible
You will not qualify if you...
- Hip problems not caused by developmental dysplasia, such as Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, neuromuscular dysplasia, or infection/trauma complications
- Previous surgery on the same hip that changes anatomy significantly, including prior pelvic or femoral osteotomy, open reduction, or presence of metal implants or fusion
- Contraindications to MRI or safety concerns, such as MR-incompatible implants, severe claustrophobia, or medical issues preventing sedation or anesthesia
- MRI images not compatible with the study protocol or of insufficient quality for analysis
