Conclusions Our results show an obvious association between the D repeat polymorphism of ASPN and DDH. It indicates that ASPN is an important regulator in the etiology of DDH.

SPONTANEOUS DISLOCATION OF THE HIP IN CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME
# This is a 3 year old female with Down's Syndrome whose mother noticed clicking in the left hip since age 2. At the age of 4 the patient developed a limp after falling from a bicycle. She is otherwise healthy...

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...

A 17-year-old girl presented for evaluation of right hip pain. Several months earlier she had incurred a twisting injury to her hip when she landed from a jump while dancing. She was treated with naproxen and an intra-articular injection of bupivacaine hydrochloride and epinephrine. She denied any other recent or...

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.

Genetics highlights relationships between biological systems, and as the number of defi ned osteoarthritis susceptibility alleles increases, there is the natural tendency to assess whether the alleles infl uence other musculoskeletal phenotypes. That has proven to be the case for the GDF5 polymorphism rs143383, a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis and several other common conditions, including lumbar-disc degeneration...
