Description: Congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH.) is commoner in girls and is associated with a shallow acetabulum with an altered angle of the femoral head. In the child the femoral head is angled forward, ante-verted, to a greater angle than in the adult. This angle is even larger in CDH. The maximum normal of 35 degrees decreases gradually to the adult 15 degrees. In CDH. this angle may be as large as 70 degrees.
