Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occurs in a variety of
conditions in which the ball and socket of the hip do not develop
properly resulting in surgery in later life.
Medical negligence can occur when...
- Appropriate tests following birth or during early development
are not undertaken or are carried out incorrectly
- Appropriate treatment is not provided
- Findings are not reported
- Potential problems are not diagnosed
If the condition is missed by your healthcare professionals and
it is not diagnosed before your baby starts to walk, the prognosis
can be poor. More complicated surgery may be required and there are
risks of later complications in early adolescence and later middle
age.
Our specialists are experienced in representing clients whose
children have been diagnosed with DDH. We have the
experience, resources and dedication to handle your claim through
to the end.
