A cartilage-viewing technique was developed to overcome the shortcoming of not seeing the cartilaginous components, believed to play more important role than the osseous components in children's hips, with computed tomography. This technique was applied to 25 dysplastic hips in children younger than 10 years to evaluate their global and local deficiencies. The findings helped us to understand more about their individual problems. To quantify the three-dimensional (3-D) parameters of acetabular anatomy and femoral head coverage, a measuring technique was developed based on digitization of the 3-D coordinates and fitting of every component of the hip. The improved images and the quantified parameters were expected to aid the planning, formulation, and even simulation of individualized surgical treatment for children with developmental dysplasia of the hip.
为克服计算机断层扫描无法看到软骨成分这一缺点，开发了一种软骨观察技术，据信在儿童髋关节中软骨成分比骨成分发挥着更重要的作用。该技术应用于10岁以下儿童的25个发育不良髋关节，以评估其整体和局部缺陷。这些发现有助于我们更多地了解他们各自的问题。为了量化髋臼解剖结构和股骨头覆盖的三维（3-D）参数，基于3-D坐标数字化和髋关节各组成部分的拟合开发了一种测量技术。预期改进后的图像和量化参数将有助于为发育性髋关节发育不良儿童制定个性化手术治疗方案、规划甚至进行模拟。
