REQUEIRO MOLINA, José et al. Radiographic Classification of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip. Medisur [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.4, pp. 377-393. ISSN 1727-897X.

For over a decade, abduction splinting has been the method of treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip in the Paquito González Cueto University Pediatric Hospital. This paper is aimed at presenting the dynamic classification for this condition from a radiographic point of view. Representative schemes and radiographies of patients with various stages of developmental hip dysplasia were used for illustrating this classification. The dynamic behavior of the radiographic parameters used in the classification allows gathering diagnostic groups before, during and after treatment in order to assess its final results.

Keywords : hip dislocation, congenital; splints; infant; clasification; radiography.
