Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
describes a wide range of hip abnormalities,
from a shallow acetabulum to a dislocated
hip. The abnormality can be present
at birth but also occur at later stages.
Without therapy, patients with completely
dislocated hips develop gait disturbance
and those with subluxation develop degenerative
joint disease. Early diagnosis and
treatment of DDH ensure the best chances
of achieving successful results. Clinical and
ultrasound examination (but not X rays) are
helpful for early diagnosis of DDH. Treatment
is required for patients with clinical
dislocated or dislocating hips and for those
with hip ultrasound abnormalities type C,
D, 3 and 4, according to Graf criteria. Therapy
of DDH consists of three steps: reduction,
immobilization and anatomic recovery.
Abduction devices as pillows, Milgram
and Pavlik harness and casts are
used for DDH therapy.
Late diagnoses are reduced by DDH screening.
When late diagnoses are more than
0.4% of newborns and patients require hospitalization
for treatment, general ultrasound
screening can be cost-effective.
