Abstract

Developmental hip dysplasia (DDC) is defined as a congenital disorder in which the junction between the head of the femur and the hip cavity where it fits abnormally develops. As a result, the head of the femur shifts outward (1). Anteroposterior (AP) projection of pelvis in conventional radiology is the most commonly used technique for the diagnosis of hip dysplasia in children over 3 months of age, with this test you can draw the reference lines and angles to locate the femoral head with relation to the bone part of the acetabulum.
