📋Overview
Congenital Hip Dysplasia, more commonly referred to as Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), is a condition where the hip joint does not develop properly in infants and young children. It involves abnormal formation of the acetabulum (hip socket) and/or femoral head, leading to instability or dislocation of the hip. The term 'Congenital Hip Dysplasia' is a legacy label, with 'Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip' being the preferred modern terminology.
