Abstract

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of perinatal factors and developmental displacement of the hip in our setting. Methods. The study inculuded 140 mothers and children with developmental displacement of the hip and 420 mothers and healthy children, as a control group. Ultrasound was applied with a 6.2 MHz linear scanner and results were classified according to Graf. The following factors were analyzed: age and maternal parity, complications in pregnancy, during and after delivery, fetal posture, type of delivery, gestational age, newborn sex, birth weight, birth length, ponderal index, Apgar score and neonatal complications. ANOVA, Chi-square and Student t-test were used for statistical analysis. Results. From a total 2511 newborns, 140 (6.9%) children were diagnosed with developmental displacement of the hip, which incidence where significantly higher in females (72.9%), in breech presentation (10.7%), cesarean section (25.7 %), higher maternal age and parity, birth weight >4000 g, ponderal index >2.85 and bilateral (49.3%) cases. Conclusion. Female sex, breech presentation, high birthweight and ponderal index were confirmed as risk factors for developmental displacement of the hip, which connects to intrauterine mechanical and hormonal risk factors.
