Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is common, leading to long-term issues if uncorrected. Early diagnosis via ultrasound is crucial, with risk factors including increased gestational age and birthweight.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Orthopedics
  • Neonatal Care

Background:

  • Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a frequent congenital malformation.
  • Uncorrected DDH can cause significant long-term morbidity, including gait issues, pain, and arthritis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify risk factors and predisposing elements for DDH.
  • Determine the local incidence of DDH.
  • Highlight the role of ultrasonography in early DDH diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed 1021 newborns using Graf's classification for ultrasound.
  • Collected data on sex, origin, gestational age, birthweight, and delivery type.
  • Assessed risk factors associated with DDH occurrence.

Main Results:

  • 27 newborns (2.6%) had abnormal ultrasounds; 20 (1.95%) were diagnosed with DDH.
  • Cephalic delivery showed a lower risk for DDH (p=0.045 right hip, p=0.001 left hip).
  • Increased gestational age and birthweight were identified as risk factors for DDH.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound imaging is an accepted and accurate method for diagnosing DDH.
  • Early detection through ultrasound is vital for managing DDH and preventing long-term complications.
