Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition where the hip joint is improperly formed in infants, leading to instability and potential dislocation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications. DDH affects approximately 1 in 1,000 newborns. Regular screening in newborns is essential for early detection.
