Description: 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 femoral head. The centre of radius of capital epiphysis and acetabulum do not correspond and the central line of the neck of the right femur does not pass through this centre of radius of acetabulum. The epiphysis of the head of the right femur is undersized.
