background : developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh), formerly known as congenital dislocation of the hip (cdh) is a common congenital malformation which occurs worldwide with variable frequencies in respect to the race and geographic distribution.    objective: to determine the incidence of ddh, its predisposing factors and the diagnostic value of click for its detection.   methods : in a cro...

Arthroscopic hip surgery has become an established diagnostic and therapeutic method for addressing different hip pathologies. This paper focuses on hip arthroscopy for treating hip disorders in children under the age of 10. Arthroscopic hip surgery was performed 30 times on 24 children to address various hip pathologies. Indications were septic arthritis, benign soft tissue tumors, traumatic a...

In a previous paper (von Rosen 1964) on the diagnosis and treatment of congenital dlslocation of the hip joint in the newborn our experience up to 1964 was summarised as follows. I ) Congenital dislocation of the hip can be diagnosed immediately after birth and the diagnosis can be confirmed radiologically by a special technique. 2) If the affected joint is reduced during the first three or fou...

Despite the widespread introduction of neonatal screening programmes, the late presentation of congenital dislocation of the hip remains a considerable problem. Important gaps in our understanding of the natural history of this condition make it difficult to assess the effectiveness of screening. An audit of late presenting cases of congenital dislocation of the hip in south Bedfordshire betwee...

Hypoplasia of the ischiopubic region is described in four patients. An adolescent was referred for spinal dysraphism and scoliosis, another one for bilateral aplasia of the patella and scoliosis, and finally two children were treated for congenital dislocation of the hip. The osseous malformation of the ischiopubic bones was not associated with any other intrapelvic disorders, and remained unch...

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...

Il est incontestable que les troubles du développement de la hanche sont un sujet d’une importance capitale en pédiatrie. Le terme dysplasie comprend large spectre malformations sévérité très variable qui, non décelées ou traitées, peuvent avoir des conséquences graves à court long pour personne concernée. «luxation congénitale hanche» (congenital dyslocation of the hip, CDH) utilisé auparavant...

We report two sibs showing a very mild form of mucolipidosis III with no clinical signs but isolated involvement of the hip and very mild abnormalities of the spine. This indicates that a storage disease, in particular mucolipidosis III, should be considered in any case of isolated bilateral hip dysplasia. The differences from other reported atypical variants of mucolipidosis III are discussed.

Objective Multiple pregnancies occur more frequently in assisted reproductive technology (ART) compared to normal conception (NC). It is known that the risk of congenital malformations in a multiple pregnancy are higher than single pregnancy. The aim of this study is to compare congenital malformations in singleton infants conceived by ART to singleton infants conceived naturally. MaterialsAndM...
