Description : Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a debilitating condition characterized
by incomplete formation of the acetabulum leading to dislocation of the femur, suboptimal
joint function, and accelerated wear of the articular cartilage, resulting in arthritis.
Undetected hip dysplasia is the leading cause of osteoarthritis of the hip in young
individuals, causing over 40% of cases in that age group (summary by Feldman et al.,
2013). For discussion of genetic heterogeneity of developmental dysplasia of the hip,
see DDH1 (142700).;
