DDH UK INFORMATION
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occurs when the hip joint fails to develop correctly. It is estimated 1 in 6 newborns will have an element of hip instability and 2 to 3 in every 1,000 infants will require treatment. Early detection and treatment is vital and having access to the reliable information and resources can make navigating this journey so much easier.
