Congenital muscular torticollis may be associated with hip dysplasia. This study found an 8% incidence of hip disease in infants with torticollis, lower than previously reported, suggesting targeted screening may be beneficial.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • A potential association exists between congenital muscular torticollis and developmental hip dysplasia.
  • The reported incidence of hip dysplasia in children with torticollis varies significantly in existing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the actual incidence of hip dislocation or subluxation in patients diagnosed with congenital muscular torticollis.
  • To evaluate the necessity of screening for hip disease in all torticollis cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 70 patients with congenital muscular torticollis.
  • Radiographic assessment of hips in 54 patients.
  • Follow-up evaluation of 41 patients at an average age of 3 years and 4 months.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Six patients (approximately 8%) presented with hip subluxation or dislocation.
  • Four of these patients were referred for pre-existing hip disease; two were referred for torticollis and subsequently diagnosed with hip disease.
  • No patients exhibited abnormal hip radiographs or physical findings during follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • The incidence of hip disease in patients with congenital muscular torticollis is approximately 8%.
  • This rate is lower than the commonly cited 20%, suggesting that the association may be less frequent than previously believed.
  • Further research may refine screening protocols for hip disease in infants with torticollis.
