AB - Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) occurs 1 in 1,000 babies and progressive subluxation occurs in
up to 50% of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Our patient was prematurely with suspected CP and
dislocated hip. Initial conservative treatment and open reduction was expected to contain the dislocated head
of femur in the acetabulum but did not. At the age of 4 years the hip started to subluxate and the second
surgery only corrected half of the problem. At this time surgery to increase the depth of the acetabulum
should have been done. As she grew up problem of the hip did not leave her and after 15 surgeries landed
with arthritis for total hip replacement.
