The Full Form of DDH is Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), or in older texts congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH), denotes aberrant development of the hip joint and results from an abnormal relationship of the femoral head to the acetabulum.
Unlike CDH, developmental dysplasia of the hip is not confined to congenital malformations and includes perturbations in development 12. There is a clear female predominance, and it usually occurs from ligamentous laxity and abnormal position in utero. Therefore, it is more common with oligohydramniotic pregnancies. This article describes the commonly used radiographic measurements and lines involved in DDH.
