Diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Skin folds over the thighs - an extra fold on affected side when the child with subluxation or dislocation is lying spine, also apparent when the child lies prone. Buttock fold - higher on the affected side when the child is lying prone (also restricted abduction of the affected hip).

Diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Ortolani's test - elevation and abduction of the femur with the infant supine relocates a dislocated hip. Barlow's test - adduction and depression of the femur dislocates a dislocatable hip; click or jerk is felt as the femoral head moves over the acetabular rim.

FIG. 13.43. Congenital dislocating hip (developmental dysplasia of the hip). A: Infant beyond neonatal period. Classic findings show lateral displacement of the right femur, delayed ossification of the right femoral head, and increased angulation and underdevelopment of the right acetabular roof. On the left (normal side), the vertical line (Perkins line) runs through the center of the femur. On the right, the femur is displaced lateral to the line. B: Chronic dislocating hip with pseudoace...
