Female aged 1.5 years, delayed walking. The head of the right femur is displaced out of the shallow right acetabulum. The visible upper outer margin of the acetabulum is steeper than usual. There is an additional depression in the right ilium that suggests an impression from weightbearing with a chronically displaced...

DDH involves displacement of the femoral head from the acetabulum (during the perinatal period) which disrupts the normal development of the hip joint;
- DDH is estimated to occur in 1 - 1.5 cases per 1000...

Synonyms: Congenital dislocation of hip, CDH, Developmental dysplasia of the hip, DDH, dysplasia of the hip Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) was formerly referred to as congenital dislocation of hip. DDH is now the preferred term to reflect that DDH is an ongoing developmental process, which is variable in presentation...

The term congenital dislocation of the hip dates back to the time of Hippocrates. This condition, also known as hip dysplasia or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), has been diagnosed and treated for several hundred years. Most notably, Ortolani, an Italian pediatrician in the...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint in which the femoral head has an abnormal relationship to the acetabulum. The true incidence of DDH can only be estimated because there is no "gold standard" for diagnosis. Most developed countries report an...

Developmental dysplasia encompasses a wide spectrum of hip pathology ranging from a shallow acetabulum to a completely dislocated 'high-riding' hip. It is a common cause of secondary osteoarthritis in young adults and is the underlying diagnosis in up to 48% of patients requiring THA for coxarthrosis.

A 35-month-old boy was referred because of a tumor in his left inguinal region. He had been diagnosed as having left dislocated developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) when he was 14 months old and was treated with adductor tenotomy, closed reduction and a hip spica. During the past 3 months, his parents noted...

Several advances have been made in the imaging of DDH and its complications including acetabular labral pathology and of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). We review imaging techniques other than ultrasound used in the management of DDH.

In 1957, Pavlik introduced the Pavlik harness as a useful treatment for developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH), and subsequent studies have documented favorable outcomes among patients treated with this device. However, there are only a few articles reporting how early radiographic measurements can be used to determine the prognosis...
