Brief Summary

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), formerly known as congenital dislocation of the hip, comprises a spectrum of abnormalities that include abnormal acetabular shape (dysplasia) and malposition of the femoral head.

Conditions

Orthopedic Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The alpha and the beta angels of the hip by ultrasound

  The α-angle is a measure of acetabular depth and is the angle formed between the acetabular roof and vertical cortex of the ilium. The beta angle is the angle formed between the vertical cortex of the ilium and triangular labral fibrocartilage, It represents the acetabular cartilaginous roof modeling

  baseline

Study Arms (1)

screened infants

Asymptomatic infants under age of 6 months, presenting to the pediatric orthopaedic outpatient clinic at Assiut university hospital for other problems will be subjected to ultrasound examination of the hip joint.

Other: ultrasound examination of the hip joint

Interventions

ultrasound examination of the hip joint OTHER

US examination by US machine , Midray model DP-2200 made in China , with a high frequency (5-10 MHZ) linear transducer using the previously described Graf method for assessment of both hip joints.
