  • The objective of the paper is to analyse the role of the labrum with particular attention to its morphological changes in unstable dysplastic hips during treatment.

  • Between January 2013 and December 2015, data were collected on 86 unstable, dysplastic hips, which were divided into type D (n = 13), type III (n = 49) and type IV (n = 24). The labrum was evaluated with ultrasound examination (US) for echogenicity and dimensions with inter-/intra-observer tests comparing the US images at diagnosis and at the end of treatment. Statistical analysis was performed.

  • At the end of treatment of unstable, dysplastic hips, the labrum was more echogenic with a frequency of 97% and was larger with a frequency of 96%.

  • The labrum has an active stabilizing role in unstable dysplastic hips and it undergoes a statistically significant increase of echogenicity and dimensions after treatment.
