title: Anatomical basis for congenital deformities of the lower extremities. Part I. The hip and thigh.
abstract: Congenital deformities frequently produce problems not always discernible at birth. Often, a period of time is required for the development of signs and symptoms. The present discussion presents the intrauterine anatomy of a midterm fetus relative to conditions of the hip and thigh. Cryomicrotomy is used in this study to present the best anatomical evidence of the morphology involved.
