• #1 Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): Etiology, Diagnosis, and Management

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10488138/

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a complex disorder that refers to different hip problems, including neonatal instability, acetabular, or femoral dysplasia, hip subluxation, and hip dislocation. […] Despite identifying the risk factors, the exact aetiology and pathophysiology are still unclear. […] The optimal growth of the hip joint depends upon two main factors: first, the concentric reduction of femoral head, and second, adequate balance of growth between acetabular and triradiate cartilages. Any imbalance in these, whether during fetal development or postnatal growth, will result in abnormal hip development. The complex nature of this condition is due to a mix of genetic, environmental, and mechanical factors. Various etiological theories of DDH have been proposed in the literature, highlighting hormonal, mechanical, and genetic factors.

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip occurs due to an abnormal hip development, presenting in infancy or early childhood with a spectrum ranging from dysplasia to dislocation of the hip joint. […] The exact etiology is still elusive. Multifactorial in nature, a combination of genetic, environmental, and mechanical factors play a role. Many genetic loci have also been identified in familial cases. […] The following risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip have demonstrated an increased incidence of hip abnormalities, which should prompt clinicians to perform clinical screening, including: […] Female sex: There is a fourfold greater incidence in females than males. The increased incidence is likely due to ligamentous laxity from maternal hormones. […] Breech position: In the last trimester, breech position is the most significant risk factor for developmental dysplasia of the hip, with an odds ratio of 5.47.

  Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip is a disorder of abnormal development resulting in dysplasia, subluxation, and possible dislocation of the hip secondary to capsular laxity and mechanical instability. […] DDH encompasses a spectrum of disease that includes dysplasia, subluxation, and dislocation. […] Initial instability thought to be caused by maternal and fetal laxity, genetic laxity, and intrauterine and postnatal malpositioning.

  In a newborn infant, the normal hip posture is flexion and abduction. The maintenance of acetabulo-femoral contact promotes hip growth. Although the majority of AD identified in neonatal hip ultrasound recovers spontaneously, swaddling may promote deformity in infants. […] An inherited predisposition has been well-established in the literature. First-degree relatives have a 12 times greater risk of acquiring a DDH, but second-degree relationships have a relative risk of only 1.7 times. […] However, the majority of DDH patients and those who require treatment often do not exhibit any risk factors other than being female.

  https://hipdysplasia.org/developmental-dysplasia-of-the-hip/causes-of-ddh/

  The exact cause or causes of hip dysplasia are not known. It is widely accepted that hip dysplasia develops around the time of birth because the hip socket is shallower at birth than at any time before or after birth. […] It is currently believed that infants are prone to hip dysplasia for the following reasons: […] Hip dysplasia is approximately 12 times more likely when there is a family history. […] Genetics plays a role but is not a direct cause of hip dysplasia. […] The babys womb position can increase pressure on the hips. […] Babies in the breech position are more likely to have instability than babies in a normal womb position and have an increased risk of DDH. […] Babies with fixed foot deformity or stiffness in the neck (torticollis) have slightly increased risk of hip dysplasia.

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip refers to a continuum of abnormalities in the immature hip that can range from subtle dysplasia to dislocation. The identification of risk factors, including breech presentation and family history, should heighten a physicians suspicion of developmental dysplasia of the hip. […] Factors contributing to DDH include breech presentation, female sex, positive family history, firstborn status, and oligohydramnios. Intrauterine position, sex, race, and positive family history are the most important risk factors. […] A family history positive for DDH may be found in 12 to 33 percent of affected patients. […] The risk of DDH for a child has been documented at 6 percent when there is one affected sibling, 12 percent with one affected parent, and 36 percent if a parent and a sibling are affected.

[…] Swaddling: Swaddling infants in the adducted and extended position may increase the incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip in specific populations, including Native American, Japanese, and Turkish infants. […] In utero restriction: Any physical limitation within the uterus can contribute to developmental dysplasia of the hip. […] Postterm gestation: Postmaturity is a risk factor for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a condition most often present at birth. DDH is a problem in the way your babys hip joint forms. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint; the ball of your thigh bone sits in the socket of your hip bone. […] DDH is the most common orthopedic disorder in babies. Structural, genetic, environmental, and mechanical factors can lead to the development of hip dysplasia in babies. […] During the babys development, the bones do not form normally. Take femoral anteversion for example. In femoral anteversion, there is the inward rotation of the long thigh bone that worsens hip dysplasia in children. […] Several studies reveal that children with DDH had a family history of the disorder. Several genes are linked to the development of the joint, namely OXD9, ASPN, HOXB9, TGF-Beta 1, PAPPA2, SKKI, and GDF5. If you have a family history of hip dysplasia, you may pass the condition to your child.

  The hormonal theory has a significant role in hip dysplasia development. It is based on an imbalanced ratio of estrogen to progesterone. A progesterone-rich environment can promote dislocation, whereas an estrogen-rich environment can inhibit it. […] The mechanical factors are usually related to restricted space in utero resulting in fetal packaging deformities. This could be seen in the first baby. The baby may be growing inside a horn of a bicornuate uterus where there is limited space. If the baby is relatively large, there may be a subsequent packaging deformity. […] One of the most important mechanical factors that may be a risk for DDH is breech presentation at birth. A 25% risk of DDH exists for neonates born after being in the breech position. About 30 to 50% of patients with DDH have a history of breech delivery.

  Also, around the time of birth, the mother makes hormones that allow the mothers ligaments to become lax (stretch easier) so that the baby can pass through the birth canal. […] Some infants may be more sensitive to these hormones than others, allowing for excessive ligament laxity in the baby. […] Girls usually have more ligament laxity than boys and girls are 4-5 times more likely to have hip dysplasia than boys.

  Eighty percent of children with DDH are females. […] This is postulated to be related to the effects of additional estrogen produced by the female fetus, which increases ligamentous laxity. […] DDH occurs more often in children who present in the breech position. […] It is believed that in utero knee extension of the infant in the breech position results in sustained hamstring forces around the hip and contributes to subsequent hip instability. […] In utero postural deformities and oligohydramnios also are associated with DDH. […] For unknown reasons, DDH is less common in black persons.

• #14 Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)

  https://www.rch.org.au/kidsinfo/fact_sheets/Developmental_dysplasia_of_the_hip_DDH/

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is an abnormal development of the hip joint. In children with DDH, the ball at the top of the thigh bone (called the head of the femur bone) is not stable within the socket (called the acetabulum). The ligaments of the hip joint that hold it together may also be loose. Sometimes, the hips can dislocate early in life and this may not be noticed until your child starts to walk. […] Pregnant women release hormones in their bloodstream that allow their ligaments to relax. These hormones help the delivery of the baby through the mother’s pelvis. Some of these hormones enter the baby’s blood, which can make the baby’s ligaments relaxed as well. This can make the hip joint loose in the socket. The way the baby lies in the uterus can also cause the hip joint to dislocate or become loose. […] DDH is more common in girls, firstborn children, babies born in the breech position (bottom first) and in families where a parent/sibling has had a dislocated hip joint. DDH can be in one or both hip joints.

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH or hip dysplasia) is a relatively common condition in the developing hip joint. It occurs once in every 1,000 live births. The greatest incidence of DDH occurs in first-born females with a history of a close relative with the condition and/or history of breech position in utero. […] The exact cause(s) of hip dysplasia are unknown, but it is likely that many factors both environmental and genetic play a role. One of the environmental influences thought to contribute to hip dysplasia is the baby’s response to the mother’s hormones during pregnancy. A tight uterus that prevents fetal movement or breech position may also cause hip dysplasia. […] Another environmental factor is infant positioning in the first year of life. Cultures that hold infants wrapped around a caregiver such that the hips are held apart generally have lower rates of DDH. In contrast, cultures which typically swaddle or papoose an infant with the hips extended have high rates of hip dysplasia.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hip-dysplasia/symptoms-causes/syc-20350209

  Hip dysplasia is the medical term for a hip socket that doesn’t fully cover the ball portion of the upper thighbone. This allows the hip joint to become partially or completely dislocated. Most people with hip dysplasia are born with the condition. […] At birth, the hip joint is made of soft cartilage that gradually hardens into bone. The ball and socket need to fit together well because they act as molds for each other. If the ball isn’t seated firmly into the socket, the socket will not fully form around the ball and will become too shallow. […] During the final month before birth, the space within the womb can become so crowded that the ball of the hip joint moves out of its proper position. This results in a shallower socket. Factors that may reduce the amount of space in the womb include: First pregnancy, Large baby, Breech presentation. […] Hip dysplasia tends to run in families and is more common in girls. The risk of hip dysplasia is also higher in babies born in the breech position and in babies who are swaddled tightly with the hips and knees straight.

Oligohydramnios is also reported to be associated with an increased prevalence of DDH. The left hip is more commonly associated with DDH than the right hip, possibly because of the common intrauterine position of the left hip against the mother’s sacrum, which forces it into an adducted position. Children in cultures in which the mother swaddles the baby, forcing the infant’s hips to be adducted, also have a higher rate of hip dysplasia.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hip-dysplasia/symptoms-causes/syc-20350209

  Hip dysplasia is the medical term for a hip socket that doesn’t fully cover the ball portion of the upper thighbone. This allows the hip joint to become partially or completely dislocated. Most people with hip dysplasia are born with the condition. […] At birth, the hip joint is made of soft cartilage that gradually hardens into bone. The ball and socket need to fit together well because they act as molds for each other. If the ball isn’t seated firmly into the socket, the socket will not fully form around the ball and will become too shallow. […] During the final month before birth, the space within the womb can become so crowded that the ball of the hip joint moves out of its proper position. This results in a shallower socket. Factors that may reduce the amount of space in the womb include: First pregnancy, Large baby, Breech presentation. […] Hip dysplasia tends to run in families and is more common in girls. The risk of hip dysplasia is also higher in babies born in the breech position and in babies who are swaddled tightly with the hips and knees straight.

  https://hipdysplasia.org/developmental-dysplasia-of-the-hip/causes-of-ddh/

  The exact cause or causes of hip dysplasia are not known. It is widely accepted that hip dysplasia develops around the time of birth because the hip socket is shallower at birth than at any time before or after birth. […] It is currently believed that infants are prone to hip dysplasia for the following reasons: […] Hip dysplasia is approximately 12 times more likely when there is a family history. […] Genetics plays a role but is not a direct cause of hip dysplasia. […] The babys womb position can increase pressure on the hips. […] Babies in the breech position are more likely to have instability than babies in a normal womb position and have an increased risk of DDH. […] Babies with fixed foot deformity or stiffness in the neck (torticollis) have slightly increased risk of hip dysplasia.

Oligohydramnios is also reported to be associated with an increased prevalence of DDH. The left hip is more commonly associated with DDH than the right hip, possibly because of the common intrauterine position of the left hip against the mother’s sacrum, which forces it into an adducted position. Children in cultures in which the mother swaddles the baby, forcing the infant’s hips to be adducted, also have a higher rate of hip dysplasia.

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a complex disorder that refers to different hip problems, including neonatal instability, acetabular, or femoral dysplasia, hip subluxation, and hip dislocation. […] Despite identifying the risk factors, the exact aetiology and pathophysiology are still unclear. […] The optimal growth of the hip joint depends upon two main factors: first, the concentric reduction of femoral head, and second, adequate balance of growth between acetabular and triradiate cartilages. Any imbalance in these, whether during fetal development or postnatal growth, will result in abnormal hip development. The complex nature of this condition is due to a mix of genetic, environmental, and mechanical factors. Various etiological theories of DDH have been proposed in the literature, highlighting hormonal, mechanical, and genetic factors.

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), also known as hip dysplasia or congenital hip dislocation (CHD), is a developmental condition where a child is born with an unstable hip. It is an abnormal formation of the hip joint that occurs in the early stages of foetal development. […] Hip dysplasia refers to insufficient coverage of the acetabulum (socket) over the femoral head (ball). This is a spectrum of disease: […] Right before birth, the womb can become so crowded that it can cause the ball of a baby’s hip joint to move out of its proper position.

  Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition characterized by varying degrees of hip instability in a developing hip joint. DDH is often idiopathic but hip dislocations may also be caused by an underlying congenital disorder. There are many theories about the etiology of DDH, but the definitive cause is still unknown. There are, however, known risk factors. The exact causes of DDH are unknown, but it is likely a combination of several environmental and genetic factors. Known risk factors include inadequate intra-uterine space (e.g. firstborn child, oligohydramnios, etc.), female sex, family history, and breech presentation. […] Untreated DDH is a leading cause of degenerative joint disease in the hip. […] Developmental dysplasia in the form of a subluxated (or subluxatable) hip is very common, seen approximately in 1% of all births.

Another name for this condition is developmental dysplasia of the hip. […] The cause of CHD is unknown in many cases. Contributing factors include low levels of amniotic fluid in the womb, breech presentation, which occurs when your baby is born hips first, and a family history of the condition. Confinement in the uterus may also cause CHD or contribute to it. […] You cant prevent CHD. Its important to bring your child to regular checkups so their doctor can identify and treat the condition as soon as possible. […] Complicated or invasive treatment is less likely to be necessary when your doctor identifies CHD early and your baby received treatment with a Pavlik harness. Its estimated that between 80 and 95 percent of cases identified early receive successful treatment, depending on the severity of the condition.
