Abstract

Congenital dislocation (CDH) of the hip joint (now falling under the umbrella term Development Dysplasia of hip (DDH) has a high incidence in the Indian subcontinent. Even though the number of reported bilateral CDH cases are comparatively less, a large number go under the radar due to similar presentations on both sides due to which a medical opinion is not sought by the parents until the walking age. Herein lies the need for a more extensive screening protocol. Such cases, when presented late, require surgical correction in cases where conservative management becomes redundant. Literature is divided on the course of management of such cases and we wish to present one such case here.

Keywords: CDH, Congenital Subluxation of HIP, Derotational Osteotomy of HIP.
