Surgical treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip- a single surgeon series of 47 hips with a 7 year mean follow up). (2016)
Journal Article
Kuiper. (2016). Surgical treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip- a single surgeon series of 47 hips with a 7 year mean follow up)

The treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children remains controversial. We describe the clinical and radiological outcomes of  47 hips in 43 children treated with open surgery by one surgeon between 2004 and 2008 for DDH. The mea...

Context. Low- and intermediate-mass stars lose most of their stellar mass at the end of their lives on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Determining gas and dust mass-loss rates (MLRs) is important in quantifying the contribution of evolved stars to...
