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...

Pediatrics: Hip Dysplasia Definition Developmental dysplasia of the hip means bad formation of the joint that connects the body with the lower limb. The hip is a ball and socket joint. The ball is the head of the femur, or thigh-bone, and the socket is the acetabulum of the pelvis. There...

The developmental deformities discussed in this chapter are flexible flatfoot, cavus foot, adolescent hallux valgus, Kohler's disease, Freiberg's infraction, Sever's disease, congenital curly toes, overriding fifth toe, and ingrown toenails.

Coxa vara is a varus deformity of the femoral neck with a decrease in the angle between the neck and shaft of femur, which is normally between 135–145° in children. It may be con- genital, developmental in which symptoms appear during early childhood when walking is star ted or acquired...

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

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...

Coxa vara includes all forms of decrease of the femoral neck shaft angle to less than 120-135°. This condition has many etiologies: congenital, acquired, and developmental. Congenital coxa vara (CCV), also referred to as infantile or cervical coxa vara, is a condition in which a varus deformity exists that is...

DDH involves displacement of the femoral head from the acetabulum (during the perinatal period) which disrupts the normal development of the hip joint;

The differential diagnoses of a limp in a child are broad. Normal age-related gait must first be differentiated from gait impairment. Once gait impairment is identified, differential diagnoses are narrowed as the history and physical examination findings begin to suggest a source for the limp. In many instances, a diagnosis...

Of the 300,000 grafting procedures performed in 1998, 9 of 10 involved the use of either autograft or allograft tissue. The current standard is for autograft tissue bone grafts, in which tissue is harvested from the patient, usually from the iliac crest, but possibly from the distal...

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), or Trevor disease, is a rare developmental disorder affecting the epiphyses in young children. The first report of DEH in the literature was by Mouchet and Belt in 1926, who described the condition as a tarsal bone disorder and used the term tarsomegalie. In 1950, Trevor...
