Description

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) encompasses a spectrum of conditions where the hip joint is improperly formed, ranging from a mild acetabular shallowness to full dislocation. Early detection of DDH is crucial for effective management and prevention of long-term complications such as pain, limited mobility, or early-onset osteoarthritis.

Ultrasonography, rather than X-ray, is the preferred method for diagnosing DDH in infants, especially under the age of 6 months. Ultrasound provides a non-invasive and radiation-free way to visualize the soft tissues, cartilage, and bones in real time. The Graf method is the most widely used technique, where two critical angles—alpha (α) and beta (β)—are measured to assess the development of the acetabulum and classify the hip's condition.This application is designed to aid healthcare professionals—especially radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons—in evaluating DDH by calculating the alpha (α) and beta (β) angles quickl from saved ultrasound images of the patient hip.

Provide instant visual feedback by color-coding the angles:Alpha angle (α): red, Beta angle (β): yellow. Automatically also classify the hip joint based on the Graf method Type I,Type IIa/b,Type IIc,Type III, helping clinicians to have a quick glimpse and visualise the relationship between the angles ,real time.Healthcare professionals, particularly in busy departments, can save significant time by quickly loading ultrasound images and automating angle calculations, identify abnormal hips on the go . App can also be used as a training tool for medical students, residents, and junior clinicians, teaching them how to recognise key landmarks, make accurate measurements, and classify DDH using ultrasound images. By rapid visually displaying the measurements on the screen and generating easy-to-understand images, app helps clinicians explain the condition and its severity to parents.

App offers α and β angle measurement by dragging points on the ultrasound image to key anatomical landmarks, forming lines that define the acetabular roof and cartilaginous roof. The app automatically calculates the angles and classifies the hip condition based on these measurements in real-time.

Important feedback that help allow the user to adjust draggable points and see immediate changes in the angle values helping to fine-tune the position of the lines and target the preferred anatomical landmarks of the ultrasound image more efficiently. User-friendly interface, and reliable classification system based on Graf’s classification that streamline the diagnostic process, and improved overall workflow in clinical practice.

How to Measure with the SonoHip Angles App

Step-by-Step Guide to Measure Alpha (α) and Beta (β) Angles for Hip Dysplasia Diagnosis:

Load an Ultrasound Image
- Open the app and select an ultrasound image of the hip from your device's photo library.
- Ensure that you have consent to load the image, as prompted by the app.
Select the Hip Side (Right or Left)
- After loading the image, the app will prompt you to choose the side of the hip being analyzed.
- Select either the Right or Left hip.
- For the Left Hip, all lines and draggable points will automatically flip to match the anatomical orientation for accurate measurement.
Enter the Patient’s Age
- Once the side is selected, input the patient's age in months.
- This will help adjust the classification according to the Graf method, as the app considers the age of the patient in its diagnosis.
Identify Key Anatomical Landmarks
- The app provides six draggable points on the ultrasound image that you will use to measure the alpha (α) and beta (β) angles.
- Drag each of these points to the appropriate anatomical landmarks of the acetabulum and the cartilaginous roof of the hip joint:
  - Red Line: Points representing the acetabular roof (the bony part of the hip).
  - Yellow Line: Points representing the cartilaginous roof (the soft tissue part of the hip).
  - Blue Line: The baseline of ilium
Adjust the Draggable Points
- Drag each point to its precise location on the ultrasound image.
- The app will instantly update the lines and angles as you move the points, calculating the alpha (α) and beta (β) angles in real-time.
View Real-Time Angle Measurements
- As you move the points, the app will display the alpha (α) angle in red and the beta (β) angle in yellowon the screen.
- These angles are crucial for diagnosing the condition of the hip.
Instant Graf Classification
- Based on the measured alpha (α) and beta (β) angles, the app will automatically classify the hip joint using the Graf method.
- The classification (e.g., Type I, Type IIa/b, Type IIc, or Type III) will be displayed in real-time, helping you quickly identify whether the hip is normal or abnormal.
Fine-Tune the Points for Accurate Measurement
- If necessary, continue adjusting the points to fine-tune your measurements.
- The app provides immediate visual feedback on any changes, helping you optimize the positioning of the lines for the most accurate angle calculation.
Zoom and Pan for Better Precision (Apple Vision Pro)
- For enhanced precision, use the pinch gesture to zoom in and out of the ultrasound image.
- You can also pan around the image by dragging it, allowing you to focus on specific areas for more detailed measurements.
Review Results and Share (Optional)
- Once you have completed your measurements, the app displays the classification and angle values clearly in the top right corner of the screen.
- If you want to restart the process with a new image, simply press the New Image button.

With SonoHip Angles, measuring the alpha and beta angles is as simple as dragging points on an ultrasound image. The app’s real-time updates and automatic classification based on Graf’s method streamline the diagnostic process, helping healthcare professionals make fast and accurate evaluations of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Blue Line (Baseline):
- What to Do: Drag the blue point to position the vertical line along the ilium. This line acts as the reference or baseline.
- Why It’s Important: This line serves as the starting point for the other measurements and is essential for ensuring that the angles are correctly oriented.
Red Line (α Angle):
- What to Do: Drag two points to adjust the red line along the acetabular roof (the bony roof of the hip socket). One point should be near the triradiate cartilage, and the other should define the slope of the acetabular roof.
- Why It’s Important: The α angle helps assess the development of the acetabulum. Incorrect positioning here could result in inaccurate classifications.
Yellow Line (β Angle):
- What to Do: Place two draggable points along the cartilaginous roof. One point should align with the baseline, and the other defines the cartilaginous roof slope.
- Why It’s Important: The β angle is used to assess the state of the hip’s cartilaginous structures, essential for determining delayed ossification or dysplasia.
