INTRODUCTION Congenital dysplasia of the hip is an abnormal seating of the femoral head in the acetabulum, mainly caused by shallow acetabulum and lax joint capsule. Genetic factors play a considerable role in the pathogenesis of congenital dysplasia of the hip. The gene growth differentiate factor 5 (GDF5) has been implicated in skeletal development and joint morphogenesis in humans and mice. ...

INTRODUCTION development dysplasia of the hip is one of the common disorders in pediatric orthopaedics. This requires an early orthopaedic treatment. Neglected cases can lead to hip dislocation, which has an incidence of 1.4 / mille new-borns, being bilateral in 70-80% of cases and prevalence of girls being 7 / 1-4 / 1 (girls / boys). Congenital hip dislocation requires a complex surgical and o...

Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia (SED) accompanying with congenital joint dislocations; is a genetic disease different subtypes that progress multiple dislocations. It occurs due to mutation in the CHST3 gene. This syndrome requires long and cascading surgeries, which presents short-bodied dwarfism, dislocations range of motion (ROM) limitations (knee, hip, elbow). In this case report, we describe ...

To the Editor: It was with great interest that we read the articles from the symposium on Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip published in April 2008. We participated in this symposium with the article ‘‘The Morphologic Variations of Low and High Hip Dislocation’’ [7]. We wish, however, to comment on the terminology ‘‘developmental dysplasia of the hip,’’ as used by most of this symposium’s auth...

during a period of four years between june, is, 1988 to june, is, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (chf) were admitted to the pediatric department of taleghani general hospital. during the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and chf was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. congenital heart disease (cho) was t...

Developmental disorder of the hip (DDH) is the most frequent disease of this joint. It is manifested by dysplasia, subluxation or luxation in childhood period and arthrosis in adults. Early degenerative changes of the hip occur at the location of disordered anatomy and biomechanics already in youth, while in the childhood age they are mostly asymptomatic (Ando & Gotoh, 1990). DDH mostly occurs ...
