Undiagnosed in time, congenital hip dislocation can have a serious impact on psychic development and on social life, on patient’s family because of the sequels (members’ inequality, femoral head’s necrosis, hips’ osteoarthritis, lump walk), that are harder to threat. That is why it is important that the family members, the family’s doctor, the orthopedic doctor and the physical therapist to colaborate for the physically, mentally and intellectual development of the patient.
