[Asymptomatic bilateral developmental dislocation of the hip]

Developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) is 1 of the commonest problems of the infant locomotive system. While its natural history is usually unpredictable, it is fully agreed that early diagnosis and treatment are essential. We present an 86-year-old man in whom asymptomatic bilateral DDH was diagnosed incidentally. This is apparently the second such case reported in the orthopedic literature.
