    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to measure the indices of radiographic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in a cross-sectional study of an elderly Japanese population. METHODS: Hip radiographs of 427 informed, voluntary Japanese community-dwelling individuals (279 female and 148 male) aged 50-96 years-old were obtained from Miyagawa village in Japan through a health screening. The hip radiographs were measured by a custom-written, semi-automated MATLAB program. The center edge (CE) angle, acetabular roof obliquity (ARO), acetabular head index (AHI), and minimum joint space width (mJSW) were measured. We examined the associations between gender, side-of-hip, and age group on radiographic DDH and hip osteoarthritis (OA). RESULTS: The mean CE angle was 31.0°. The mean ARO was 5.8°. The mean AHI was 88.2%. The mean mJSW was 4.0 mm. Of the total population, 29.9% had DDH and 4.0% had hip OA. Of those who had hip OA, 41.2% were secondary OA, and 58.8% were primary OA. The relationship between DDH and OA was not significant. CONCLUSION: DDH is unlikely to be an important cause of hip OA in the present population-based study.
