Development of hip dysplasia in a child with perinatal contralateral high above-knee amputation.
The development of acetabular dysplasia in the growing child has been postulated to be due to abnormal forces on the acetabular rim, such as when the hip is in an adducted position. In this case report we document the development of acetabular dysplasia, as measured radiographically, in a child with a perinatal contralateral high above-knee amputation.
