title: [Early diagnosis of hip dysplasia. Crippling disease for life. Consensus of the Mexican College of Orthopedics and Traumatology].
abstract: The developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), where the spectrum of deformity varies from a slight mismatch in the articular surfaces between the ilium and femur, which will bring a premature wear of the joint, until the situation more serious when the femoral head is out of the acetabulum, causing a host of disorders side as curvature of the spine, significant shortening of the limb deformities in the knee and the contralateral hip, as well as causing pain and loss of joint mobility mentioned. All this makes the spectrum of abnormalities in a person being disabled with a social and economic burden for the family and society. "Preventing" a clinical entity such as developmental dysplasia of the hip does not mean to anticipate the presentation, because children continue to be born with this problem, but to have a program for early detection and early treatment and thus prevent the occurrence. The goal of this study was to provide the medical community that timely tool for prevention. When diagnosed and treated in a timely and favorable prognosis qualified for motor function and quality of life.
