DDH has different types, such as:
Some factors that can cause DDH include a family history of the condition, being in the breech position during pregnancy, and poor nutrition.
If not treated promptly, DDH can cause walking abnormalities, severe pain, limping, and hip and back osteoarthritis.
During the newborn physical screening examination, ultrasound scans can detect DDH. Treatment for DDH involves using a Pavlik harness, which is a fabric splint tied around the hips to stabilize and correct the deformity naturally.
