Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is one entity one occasionally comes across while in a busy orthopaedic or paediatric outpatient department. The knowledge of risk factors and awareness of the condition is must for every orthopaedic surgeon and paediatrician as well lest the diagnosis will be missed. An early diagnosis can alter the prognosis of the disease and prevent late disabilities.Entities:
