Congenital dislocation of the hip in infantile idiopathic scoliosis

G Hooper

The incidence of congenital dislocation of the hip in 156 children with infantile idiopathic scoliosis was 6.4 per cent, approximately 10 times its frequency in the general population. In both of these deformities there was a predominance of girls (eight girls: two boys). In unilateral dislocation of the hip the convexity of the thoracic scoliosis was on the same side as the dislocation. Eight out of the 10 children with both deformities also had plagiocephaly.
