What happens during the disease - congenital dislocation of hip, unilateral
Congenital dislocation of hip, unilateral is a condition in which the hip joint is not properly formed at birth, resulting in a hip joint that is not in its correct anatomical position. this can be caused by genetic factors, developmental abnormalities, or a combination of both. it is usually due to a lack of development of the hip joint capsule, which normally helps to hold the hip joint in place. in some cases, the hip joint may be malformed, or the muscles and ligaments that support the hip joint may be too weak.
