A2 - Sunshine, Philip PY - 2015 T2 - Neonatology: Clinical Practice and Procedures AB - The term developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) indicates a spectrum of pathologies from stable acetabular dysplasia (femoral head stable in hip socket but socket is shallow) to “located” hips that are unstable (femoral head can be moved in and out of the confines of the acetabulum), to frankly dislocated hips in which there is a complete loss of contact between the femoral head and acetabulum. Congruent reduction and stability of the femoral head are necessary for normal growth and development of the hip joint. The natural history of DDH is variable: Acetabular dysplasia often resolves spontaneously. Unstable or dislocated hips may reduce spontaneously, but some will require treatment to normalize.
