Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the knowledge on developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) by professionals involved in its diagnosis.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using questionnaires to assess the knowledge about DDH. Orthopedic surgeons and pediatricians, residents and medical students from a tertiary teaching hospital were included in the study.Results: We evaluated 142 medical students, eight orthopedic residents, ten pediatric residents, seven pediatricians, and nine orthopedic surgeons; 50% declared no… Show more

“…Healthcare providers play an important role in educating members of society; therefore, enhancing and upgrading their knowledge and awareness will be directly beneficial to improve the awareness among expecting mothers. Melo TE et al [ 25 ] also assessed the professionals involved in diagnosing DDH on their knowledge about the condition and found that 50% of these professionals had not examined any DDH case in the last year. As for self-assessed knowledge measured on a scale of 0–10, the average score was 4.25.…”

“…Nearly 74% of the participants did not know that the time of birth is the ideal moment for diagnosis; only 17% reported the ideal time as after the first month. Regarding neglected severe DDH, 45.3% of the participants failed to recognize its natural history [ 25 ].…”

“…Physical examination generally has poor sensitivity and specificity, especially when it is conducted by poorly trained physicians. 2,[5][6][7] The diagnosis of early DDH using plain films taken at the age of 5 months is done by inspecting classic lines and angles that are helpful in evaluating the immature hip. Among these landmarks, an angle formed between a horizontal line that connects both triradiate cartilages (Hilgenreiner's line) and a second line parallel to the acetabular roof is measured.…”

“…Rev Col Bras Cir 46(6):e20192284Also, these same professionals should be aware that hip dysplasia manifests differently according to age. In fact, Ortolani's sign, researched in the first 48 hours of life to be more sensitive, disappears around two months, to be replaced by limitation of hip abduction (Hart's sign), gluteal fold asymmetry (Peter-Bade's sign) and shortening (Galeazzi's sign).However, in severe cases of teratogenic dislocation, these signs are already present in the newborn.When ambulation is initiated, gluteus insufficiency (Trendelenburg) gait may arise.In Brazil, Souza et al18 concluded that knowledge of DDH among health professionals who perform screening in the newborn is poor, as 81.1% of them (students, residents, pediatricians and orthopedists) have never made a diagnosis of DDH. In this sense, the use of mannequins can be very useful for training students and health personnel, since the condition is uncommon and even orthopedists may have no experience with any case.…”
