We present a case of late dislocation of the hip in a 30-month-old girl. Her hip was clinically stable at birth and an ultrasound scan at six weeks was normal. She had no additional risk factors for developmental dysplasia. She underwent anterior open reduction with a femoral osteotomy.

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...

ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder associated with abnormal development of embryonic ectodermally-derived organs including teeth, nails, hair and sweat glands. hypodontia of the primary and permanent dentition is the most common oral finding. therefore, affected patients need dental prosthetic treatments during their developmental years. this report presents two cases of children aff...

Background: The prevalence of neglected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) has been decreasing. Nowadays, the disease is rarely seen in walking age children. The purpose of this study is to assess the results of simultaneous osteotomy of femur and pelvic bones in such children.Method: We performed a retrospective study on 30 children aged 3.8±0.9 (range: 1.5-7) years old, with DDH who und...

OBJECTIVES. To clarify the use of ultrasonography by determining the frequency of developmental dysplasia of the hip among breech-presented Chinese neonates in Hong Kong. DESIGN. Prospective case series. SETTING. Regional hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS. All breech-presented Chinese neonates born during January 2008 to June 2009 were included (except premature neonates). They were examined clinic...

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiological results of single-stage open reduction through a medial approach and Pemberton acetabuloplasty in developmental dysplasia of the hip. We treated 32 hips (22 patients) with developmental dysplasia by a single-stage open reduction through Ferguson's medial approach and Pemberton acetabuloplasty. The procedure was performe...

BACKGROUND Arthritis secondary to developmental hip dysplasia often mandates implant surgery at a relatively young age. Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA), compared with standard stemmed total hip arthroplasty (THA), affords a more active lifestyle including extreme-motion activities but stimulates concerns pertaining to implant failure. METHODS We addressed the primary modes of failure throu...

Aim To establish the positive predictive value (PPV) of clinical hip examinations performed by referrers in Danish screening programme for Developmental Dysplasia Hip (DDH) utilising three definitions true DDH diagnosis. Methods We retrospectively identified 290 children (169 female) referred during a 4-year period to orthopaedic outpatient clinic at our institution with examination. Positive w...

Canine hip dysplasia is one of the most prevalent developmental orthopedic diseases in dogs worldwide. Unfortunately, the success of eradication programs against this disease based on radiographic diagnosis is low. Adding the use of diagnostic genetic tools to the current phenotype-based approach might be beneficial. The aim of this study was to develop a genetic prognostic test for early diagn...
