Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) has many names; Clicky Hip, congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH), Hip dysplasia and more. It is a spectrum of abnormalities that affect the hip joint, ranging from immature hip development, through to complete hip dislocation. Treatments focus on, where possible, getting the ball back into the cup (the head of the femur bone into the hip acetabulum), often through the use of a Pavlik harness, or a Spica cast.
Understanding the different types of DDH, how it is diagnosed and treated, and what current research is underway at the University of Liverpool, can help you better understand your child's diagnosis.
In this informative webinar, our esteemed speaker, Joanna Craven, an orthopaedic registrar (doctor) who is currently undertaking a PhD with the University of Liverpool and Alder Hey Children's Hospital, shares her knowledge of the topic.
