Persistent Joint Laxity and Congenital Dislocation of the Hip.

Acetabular dysplasia and familial joint laxity: two etiological factors in congenital dislocation of the hip. A review of 589 patients and their families.

The mechanism of genetic predisposition in congenital dislocation of the hip.

The important role of polygenic acetabular configuration and monogenic joint laxity has again been proved in the aetiology of congenital dislocation of the hip. According to the findings reported these two genetic predispositions seem to be unrelated. The time of diagnosis in accetabular dysplasia type and joint laxity type did not differ, thus the neonatal and late-diagnosed cases do not seem ...

Congenital knee dislocation in a 49,XXXXY boy.

We report on a 12 year old mentally retarded boy who presented at birth with bilateral knee dislocations, dislocation of the right hip, and general joint laxity. Cytogenetic studies showed a 49,XXXXY karyotype. Hyperlaxity of joints is known to occur in 49,XXXXY patients, but congenital knee dislocation has not been reported. Rarely in 49,XXXXY and 49,XXXXX syndromes Larsen-like features may be...

Clinical examination and urinary oestrogen assays in newborn children with congenital dislocation of the hip.

In 1961 Andr#{233}nand Borglin suggested that congenital dislocation of the hip could be the consequence ofabnormal oestrogen metabolism in the perinatal period. They studied oestrogen excretion in eleven newborn infants with dislocated hips and twenty-six control infants during the first three days of life. They found elevated levels of oestrone and oestradiol in the patients with dislocation....

Congenital Dislocation of the Hip in Newborns in the City of Mashhad

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), formerly known as congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) is a common congenital malformation which occurs worldwide with variable frequencies in respect to the race and geographic distribution.   Objective: To determine the incidence of DDH, its predisposing factors and the diagnostic value of click for its detection.  Methods: In a cross-s...
