Abstract
:
The incidence of the hip instability due to DDH was studied in the nursery department at KAUH from November 1995 to October 1996. Eight hundred nine newborn with 1618 hips were screened both clinically and with Graf’s ultrasound techniques. Babies with neuromuscular disease or those referred with other medical problems were excluded. The incidence was found to be 10.3 % with more prevalence in female newborn (6.6%) compared to male (3.7%) using ultrasound screening. Racial status had an insignificant effect in DDH incidence (5.6% in Saudi, 4.7% in non-Saudi). The higher incidences of DDH in the first 24 hours could be related to mother’s relaxin hormone that fades away within a short duration (± 4 weeks). It could also be related to Graf’s ultrasound type IIa- which usually normalizes spontaneously later in life. A recommendation for early detection is to carry out the screening for DDH by the age of 6-8 weeks
