developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) is one of the most widely discussed abnormalities in neonates. the advantages of sonographic examination are well known, but its main disadvantage is that it might lead to over diagnosis, which might cause over treatment. variations in the incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip are well known. during six months study since september 2006 all 130...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) and flatfoot are common pediatric orthopedic disorders, being referred to and managed by both general and pediatric orthopedic surgeons, through various modalities. our study aimed to evaluate their consensus and perspective disagreements in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of the mentioned deformities. forty participants in two groups of g...

The implications of a diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip and the importance of the role of the family physician in early detection and treatment are identified.A review of the salient clinical features of congenital dislocation of the hip is undertaken. The results of a survey carried out in the author's practice on an unusual incidence of congenital dislocated hip are reviewed.

232 The term “developmental dysplasia or dislocation of the hip” (DDH) refers to the complete spectrum of abnormalities involving the growing hip, with varied expression from dysplasia to subluxation to dislocation of the hip joint. Unlike the traditional term “congenital dysplasia or dislocation of the hip,” the designation DDH has been officially endorsed by the American Academy of Orthopaedi...

This study was designed to determine the incidence of congenital dislocation of the hip on the island of Lastovo in the period from 1885 to 1993. There was a total of 19 infants with congenital dislocation of the hip out of the 3676 babies who were born alive. The overall incidence accounted for 5.2/1000 live births. Our findings demonstrated that a high incidence of the disease (57.9%) was str...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) or congenital hip dysplasia (cdh) is the most prevalent developmental childhood hip disorder. it includes a wide spectrum of hip abnormalities ranging from dysplasia to subluxation and complete dislocation of the hip joint. the natural history of neglected ddh in adults is highly variable. the mean age of onset of symptoms is 34.5 years for dysplastic dd...

We report our experience with a unilateral congenital dislocation of the knee associated with a developmental dysplasia of the hip on the same side. Our case is a good example of congenital dislocation of the knee caused by abnormal intrauterine pressure leading to this type of congenital postural deformity. To our knowledge this is the first case of congenital dislocation of the knee reported ...

During an eight month prospective study, 8240 newborns were examined for detection of congenital dislocation of the hip from Oct. 23, 1991 to June 22, 1992. On fIrst examination we found 1302 neonates (158/1000 live births) to have abnormal hips 1063 (81.6%) were prone to subluxation (subluxatable), 218 (16.81 %) prone to dislocation (dislocatable), 17 (1.3%) were dislocated and 4 (0.3%) w...
