Abstract
:
Risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) were evaluated within 24 hours after birth in 809 Saudi and non-Saudi neonates. The incidence was found to be 10.3% for ultrasound abnormality and only 3.5% for clinically unstable hips. The hip instability was diagnosed clinically by limited abduction or positive ortalani test, ultrasonographic examination of the joint using both Graf’s method(1) and Harck’s dynamic test(2). Risk factors previously known to be associated with DDH were confirmed in the present study. According to their incidence, they include female gender, family history of hip dysplasia, orthopaedic anomalies, increase birthweight and breech presentation. We have detected a new risk factor which is the infant of a diabetic mother. Ultra sonographic screening was considered to be the most reliable method for early detection in newly born babies. Negatively screened cases were followed up to almost one year and showed 0% incidence of late detected hip dysplasia or dislocation. The results were discussed in view of the available literature
