Developmental hip dysplasia (DHD) is a common entity that affects 4 out of every 1000 live births and is a recognized cause of secondary hip osteoarthritis despite routine perinatal controls.
In most patients, the early diagnosis of the pathology allows an evolution without sequelae. However, in the basis that patients diagnosed late and with multiple surgeries are patients with open physis, ossification nuclei present and previous surgeries in the approach area, the late diagnosis represents a real challenge for the orthopedist.
We report below the case of a patient treated in our center since birth, who evolved with complications associated with late diagnosis and surgical interventions, describing rescue surgery performed at 12 years of age and finally highlighting the importance of routine perinatals and early diagnosis of DHD.
