Q65-Q79: Congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system
Q65: Congenital deformities of hip
Congenital deformities of the hip covers a group of conditions present at birth that affect the structure and function of the hip joint. These conditions result from abnormal development of the hip joint during the fetal stage. Various factors like genetic mutations, maternal health issues, or limited space in the womb could potentially contribute to these developmental issues. The common symptoms, often noticeable in infancy or early childhood, include an uneven length of legs, limited range of motion, an unusual gait, or instability of the hip joint. Over time, these deformities can result in progressive issues such as changes in walking ability and hip arthritis. The conditions included within this group affect the musculoskeletal system, predominantly the hip joint, which is crucial for weight-bearing and mobility.
