Abstract
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) occurs 1 in 1,000 babies and progressive subluxation occurs in up to 50% of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Our patient was prematurely with suspected CP and dislocated hip. Initial conservative treatment and open reduction was expected to contain the dislocated head of femur in the acetabulum but did not. At the age of 4 years the hip started to subluxate and the second surgery only corrected half of the problem. At this time surgery to increase the depth of the acetabulum should have been done. As she grew up problem of the hip did not leave her and after 15 surgeries landed with arthritis for total hip replacement.
