background: children with myelomeningocele (mmc) develop a wide variety of hip deformities such as muscle imbalance, contracture, subluxation, and dislocation. various methods and indications have been introduced for treatment of muscle imbalances and other hip problems in patients with mmc but there is no study or meta-analysis to compare the results and complications. this review aims to find...

congenital hip dysplasia congenital hip dislocation developmental dysplasia of the hip ultrasonography, methods. The purpose of this study is to establish the diagnostic value of combine using static (Graf) and dynamic (Harcke) ultrasonography methods. Both static and dynamic methods were used only in Graf’s Type 1 and Graf’s Type 2a patients. Groups were classified as normal findings (Group A)...

We studied the effect of trochanteric osteotomy in 192 total hip replacements in 140 patients with congenital hip disease. There was bony union in 158 hips (82%), fibrous union in 29 (15%) and nonunion in five (3%). The rate of union had a statistically significant relationship with the position of reattachment of the trochanter, which depended greatly on the pre-operative diagnosis. The pre-op...

the natural history of an untreated case of a developmental dysplasia (dislocation) of the hip (ddh) associated with multiple congenital abnormalities is reported in a 55-years-old man. the patient’s complaints and the varieties of the typical manifestations emerged in other parts of the body throughout the life are reviewed and discussed as comorbidities of a dysplastic condition. two-stage bi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether universal (all neonates) or selective (neonates belonging to the risk groups) ultrasound screening of the hips should be recommended at birth. We carried out a prospective, randomised trial between 1988 and 1992, including all newborn infants at our hospital. A total of 15 529 infants was randomised to either clinical screening and ultrasound examin...

The etiology of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is unknown. There are many insights, however, from epidemiologic/demographic information. A systematic medical literature review regarding DDH was performed. There is a predominance of left-sided (64.0%) and unilateral disease (63.4%). The incidence per 1000 live births ranges from 0.06 in Africans in Africa to 76.1 in Native Americans. T...
