Congenital dislocation of hip, unilateral - what does this mean

Congenital dislocation of the hip, unilateral, is a condition in which the hip joint is abnormally positioned at birth, resulting in the femoral head being out of the acetabulum. it is often caused by a combination of genetics, abnormal fetal positioning, or a lack of amniotic fluid.

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.
