Description
Summary:Dear Colleagues, A Letter to the Editor has expressed some concerns that need to be clarified regarding our paper ‘Prognostic value of severity of dislocation in late-detected developmental dysplasia of the hip’.1 Firstly, we would like to thank the readers for their interest in this study. The LMH method does not use the SMA as a landmark for the distinction between the most severe (Grade III) and less severe dislocation (Grade II). Since Hilgenreiner’s line is easy to identify even in severe dislocations, the distinction between Grades II and III in the LMH classification and Grades III and IV in the IHDI classification is quite reliable. ICMJE Conflict of interest statement The authors declare no conflict of interest. 1.
