Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Developmental dysplasia of the hip refers to a spectrum of abnormalities where the hip joint is not properly formed in infants and young children leading to instability or dislocation Early detection through clinical screening and ultrasound or X ray where indicated allows treatment with bracing that holds the femoral head in the socket during growth promoting normal development Untreated dysplasia can cause leg length differences limp and early arthritis in adult life

Perthes Disease

Perthes disease is a childhood condition where temporary disruption of blood supply to the femoral head causes it to soften and deform Over time the bone re forms but joint shape may be altered leading to stiffness and later arthritis if not managed Treatment aims to keep the femoral head well contained in the socket during this healing phase through activity modification physiotherapy and sometimes bracing or surgery to improve coverage
