Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a common newborn musculoskeletal disorder with an incidence of 1.5 to 20 per 1,000 live births, influenced by ethnicity and screening protocols.
This paper discusses the clinical range of developmental dysplasia of the hip and the influence of factors like ethnicity, diagnostic standards, and screening protocols on its incidence.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is among the most common musculoskeletal disorders observed in newborns, with its incidence estimated between 1.5 and 20 per 1,000 live births.This variation is influenced by factors such as ethnicity, diagnostic standards, and screening protocols 1.DDH encompasses broad clinical range-from minor acetabular dysplasia to complete femoral head dislocation-and, if not identified early, can lead to long-term gait disturbances and early-onset osteoarthritis.
