 | |
| Congenital dislocation of the left hip in an elderly person. Closed arrow marks the acetabulum, open arrow the femoral head. | |
| Specialty | Pediatrics, orthopedics |

| Complications | Arthritis[3] |
| Risk factors | Family history, swaddling, breech birth[3] |

Hip dysplasia is an abnormality of the hip joint where the socket portion does not fully cover the ball portion, resulting in an increased risk for joint dislocation.[1] Hip dysplasia may occur at birth or develop in early life.[1] Regardless, it does not typically produce symptoms in babies less than a year old.[3] Occasionally one leg may be shorter than the other.[1] The left hip is more often affected than the right.[3] Complications without treatment can include arthritis, limping, and low back pain.[3] Females are affected more often than males.[1] Risk factors for hip dysplasia include female sex, family history, certain swaddling practices, and breech presentation whether an infant is delivered vaginally or by cesarean section.[3] If one identical twin is affected, there is a 40% risk the other will also be affected.[3] Screening all babies for the condition by physical examination is recommended.[3] Ultrasonography may also be useful.[3]
Many of those with mild instability resolve without specific treatment.[3] In more significant cases, if detected early, bracing may be all that is required.[3] In cases that are detected later, surgery and casting may be needed.[3] About 7.5% of hip replacements are done to treat problems which have arisen from hip dysplasia.[3]
About 1 in 1,000 babies have hip dysplasia.[3] Hip instability of meaningful importance occurs in one to two percent of babies born at term.[3] Females are affected more often than males.[1] Hip dysplasia was described at least as early as the 300s BC by Hippocrates.[4]
