Congenital Dislocation of the Hip Joint

INCIDENCE OF CONGENITAL DISLOCATION THE HIP IN SHIRAZ

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...

The Early Diagnosis of Congenital Dislocation of the Hip Joint.

A teaching model for the early diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip was evaluated. The physical signs of the dislocated hip and of the dislocatable hip closely simulated the true signs. The model was an excellent teaching aid and it enabled the students to gain practical experience in examining abnormal hips. The ability of the students to carry out the standard tests was also evaluat...
