Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>active monitoring of infants with stable centered DDH (Graf type IIa-/IIb/IIc)<br /><br>does not result in a lower proportion of infants with normal hips (success:<br /><br>acetabular index lower than 25 degrees on radiograph) at the age of 12 months<br /><br>compared to abduction treatment (a non-inferiority study). </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- What is the difference in success rate between both study groups at the age<br /><br>of 24 months?<br /><br>- Do fewer complications occur when infants are treated with active monitoring<br /><br>compared to treatment with a dynamic abduction device?<br /><br>- What is the difference in time to Graf I?<br /><br>- Which factors are associated with the outcome at 12 and 24 months?<br /><br>- Are parents compliant to the abduction device?<br /><br>- Is treatment with active monitoring cost effective to treatment with a<br /><br>dynamic abduction device?<br /><br>- What is the quality of life of the infants and of the parents?<br /><br>- Is parent-satisfaction different between both treatment options?</p><br>
