Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition where the hip joint does not form properly in babies and young children. In DDH, the ball of the thighbone (femoral head) does not sit securely in the hip socket (acetabulum), which may be too shallow or poorly developed. In severe cases, the hip may become partially or completely dislocated.

Early detection and expert care are crucial to ensure normal hip development and avoid long-term disability. Dr. Manjush Ramesh Halbhavi, a dedicated pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, provides specialized evaluation and treatment for children with DDH and hip dislocations.
