Hip Vezzoni, Add new

Measuring hip scores – Alternative radiographic evaluation methods have been developed that mainly focus on the detection and quantification (using an index) of joint laxity. Examples of these so-called laxity-based diagnostic techniques are the dorsolateral subluxation index (1998), the subluxation index (1999), the half-axial position (1977) and its improvement, called the ‘Vezzoni’ modified Badertscher distention device (VMBDD) (2008) and, the most popular of these techniques, PennHIP (Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program) (1990).

The methods based on the detection/quantification of hip joint laxity have demonstrated their superiority compared to the StVD projection and should be used as well in clinical patients as in screening programs. Alternative techniques, such as the VMBDD, that allow a complete and correct in-house evaluation of the hip joint by trained clinicians might increase the popularity of laxity-based radiographic techniques.
