Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip in the infant are uniform, with consensus that diagnostic ultrasound and Pavlik harness management are standard procedures. Sequential procedures for failed early treatment, residual dysplasia and late diagnosis are dependent on the age and the severity of the dysplasia.This paper reviews the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip from birth to subsequent follow-up procedures, with particular reference to some of the senior authors' research and the Southampton approach to the management of hip dysplasia.
