8.8 Conclusions

DDH is a multifactorial condition with a spectrum of abnormalities that can very from mild changes that spontaneously resolve to severe changes that are incapacitating later in life. It may present at birth or become apparent months or years later. Imaging has an important role in both diagnosis and follow up of patients undergoing treatment. Goals of treatment are to achieve congruency of the femoral head and acetabulum and normalise the distribution of biomechanical forces about the joint. The ultimate aim of treatment is to reduce the incidence of symptoms and secondary degeneration later in life.
