Spontaneous Correction of Extreme Degree Femur Ante –Version in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Abstract

 Background: Developmental Dysplasia of the hip is common problem, both severe acetabular dysplasia and proximal femoral ante-version are the main pathology that should be managed as early as possible. Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the hip (DDH) should be commenced after delivery, during infancy and in very young children because maximum potential for development and remodeling of the acetabulum and proximal femur were encountered up to the age of 4 years. Surgical correction of idiopathic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most challenging problems in pediatric orthopedic surgery.
