Insights
Early diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are crucial. Ultrasound screening enables early detection, preventing permanent impairment and ensuring proper hip development through stable reduction.

Abstract:
Congenital hip dislocation represents the most severe form of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and, if left untreated, it leads to permanent functional impairment. Since the nationwide implementation of ultrasound screening in Germany in 1996, the condition can be detected and managed early on. The primary goal of treatment is a stable concentric reduction of the femoral head to allow normal acetabular development. In irreducible hips, operative reduction and additional corrective osteotomies may be required. Early diagnosis, standardized treatment protocols, and close follow-up are essential to achieve optimal long-term outcomes.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
