Developmental dysplasia of the hip encompasses several hip abnormalities, including instability, acetabular dysplasia, subluxation, and dislocation. It typically occurs in children with no other comorbid or underlying conditions. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, others necessitate early intervention to prevent complications in adulthood. Accurate identification of the specific hip disorder is crucial for determining the appropriate management and expected prognosis.Diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip involves clinical screening and imaging studies. Clinical examination, including the Ortolani test, the Barlow maneuver, and observation of specific physical signs, aids in early detection. Further x-ray or ultrasound imaging evaluation is warranted based on the clinical findings and the patient’s age. Early diagnosis and management are paramount to prevent long-term complications such as persistent dislocation and early hip osteoarthritis. Management options range from conservative measures to surgical interventions, with individualized approaches tailored to the severity of the condition and the patient’s age. This activity aims to enhance healthcare professionals’ competency in diagnostic testing selection and developmental dysplasia of hip management and foster effective interprofessional collaboration to optimize patient outcomes.
