| Abstract | ||
| The aim of the study to determine the benefit of delaying appearance of femoral head ossific nucleus in diagnosis of developmental hip dysplasia. This case control study has been carried in Mosul teaching hospital orthopedic department, and private clinic through the period March 2006-March 2008. One hundred seventy six (176 infants with developmental hip dysplasia) and one hundred seventy six (176 normal infants), ages between (3-8) months with mean age 5.3 months. Highly significant difference being developmental hip dysplasia (P = 009) compared with controls particularly for ages between (3-5 months). Computation of the odds ratio showed that developmental hip dysplasia cases could be a factor in delaying ossification femoral head centre three times (OR=3) in comparison to normal. Key word: femoral head, ossific nucleus appearance, DDH. | ||
