• Gives trainees a framework — still referenced today — for classifying avascular necrosis after DDH treatment based on physeal rather than ossific nucleus injury, which better predicts eventual deformity. • Highlights that timing and technique of reduction (early treatment under 6 months, use of traction and anesthesia) can influence the severity of this complication, reinforcing why gentle, staged reduction protocols matter. • Connects the type of physeal injury to long-term arthritis risk, especially when combined with residual dysplasia or subluxation — useful for counseling and follow-up planning in DDH patients.
