The incidence of dorsal and pelvis asymmetries in school-age children with hip dysplasia in the neonatal-infancy period

Abstract

Dorsal asymmetry was found in ninety percent of test group children, including a small asymmetry of 2–4 Bunnell degrees [2] in seventy-eight percent. In the control group, dorsal asymmetry was found in fifty percent of children, including a small asymmetry in forty-six percent. Pelvis asymmetry was found in eighty percent of test group children, predominantly an eight-type deformation with a right-side anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) lowering in sixty-six percent and a left-side posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) lowering in forty-six percent of children. In the control group, pelvis asymmetry was found only in forty-two percent of children.
