Congenital Hip Dysplasia aka Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
see pics
Systems Review: Musculoskeletal
Congenital Hip Dysplasia (DDH)
Pathogenesis
- Start→ in Utero, subluxation may occur that results in flattened posteromedial femoral head, anteversion, & shallow acetabulum
- Prolonged and repeated dislocation→ leads to greater incidence of hip OA***
MOST COMMON HIP ABNORMALITY IN NEWBORNS
Congenital Hip Dysplasia
DDH
Baby hips by #s
- MOST COMMON ABNORMALITY in NEWBORNS→ DDH
- 1/10 have hip instab.
- 1 in 500 have dislocations
- ~20-30% ID after 3mos of age
- NOTE: Harder to manage AFTER walking***
Systems Review: Musculoskeletal
Congenital Hip Dysplasia (DDH)
Clinical Presentation
- AFTER 6wks→ hip may not reduce
- Asymmetry→ Thighs or Gluteal folds
- LIMITS in→ Hip ABD
-
Unequal femoral length
- Uneven Knees==> Galeazzi’s Sign
Systems Review: Musculoskeletal

Systems Review: Musculoskeletal
SCFE
Epidemiology & Pathogen.
MOST COMMON disorder of Adolescent hip***
- Girls- 12yo Boys- 14yo
- Displacement of femoral neck FROM the capital femoral epiphysis (cone separating from ice cream*)
- Coxa Valga of developing femur==> Shear forces
- Injury from innocuous causes
- Neck migrates UP & OUT as head remains in acetabulum
What should you ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT SCFE AND INITIAL SYMPTOM?????

Systems Review: Musculoskeletal
SCFE
Dx & Intervention
*45% have knee or lower thigh pain as initial sx
- Radiographs, phys exam, sx’s used to determine if hip is stable or unstable
- Intervention→ relief of sx’s, containment of femoral head, restoring ROM
