  • Title: [Congenital dysplasia and dislocation of the hip. Pathological anatomy in the newborn and infant (author's transl)].
    Author: Seringe R, Kharrat K.
    Journal: Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot; 1982; 68(3):145-60. PubMed ID: 6212989.
    Abstract:
    The authors have had the opportunity of making a complete and precise dissection of newborns with congenital dislocation of the hip. They have also made a dynamic study of the hip joints in the specimens. The findings have been compared with other studies published in the literature. It is concluded that the dislocation is posterior or postero-superior and that acetabular dysplasia is consistent in unstable hips in the newborn. The acetabular plasia is secondary to the dislocation and lies postero-superiorly. It cannot be detected radiologically. The existence of primary acetabular dysplasia is doubtful. The main responsibility for congenital dislocation of the hip is a faulty position of the foetus in utero. The disease therefore cannot be prevented. It is of importance to diagnose the disease as soon as possible.
