Congenital Hip Dislocation (Baby) - What is it for

Congenital hip dislocation (CHD) is better known as developmental dysplasia of the hip. CHD is a condition where the head (‘ball’) of the femur (thigh bone) moves out of the socket of the pelvic bone, called the acetabulum. The head of the femur may lie within the acetabulum but can be moved partially (subluxable) or totally (dislocatable) out of it. It may even lie completely outside the acetabulum and behind the socket, in which case it is dislocated.
