Hip dysplasia is a congenital condition in which the hip is deformed in a way that decreases the congruency between the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis. [22] Bony congruence is a stabilizing factor to the hip joint, so the decrease in this conferred by hip dysplasia makes one more susceptible to dislocation. [22]
Hip dysplasia is an abnormality of the hip joint where the socket portion does not fully cover the ball portion, resulting in an increased risk for joint dislocation. [1] Hip dysplasia may occur at birth or develop in early life. [1] Regardless, it does not typically produce symptoms in babies less than a year old. [3]
A joint dislocation, also called luxation, occurs when there is an abnormal separation in the joint, where two or more bones meet. [1] A partial dislocation is referred to as a subluxation . Dislocations are commonly caused by sudden trauma to the joint like during a car accident or fall.
