In the previous video I discussed key signs and symptoms of hip dysplasia. Next up in this series I’m going to explore 3 types of dysplasia and how to spot them! This includes Global, Anterior and Posterior instability and what investigations we might consider.

Our video below is based largely on this excellent research paper from Wilkin et al. (2017) which is well worth a read if you’d like more information.

Great video. I was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia at the age of 14 as I developed a marked limp (later ascribed to a labral tear) but I was never given any of this information nor was I given any advice in how to manage the condition. I am now 55 and am facing a bilateral total hip replacement this year. My X-rays have always been described as showing “minimal changes” and a number of PTs have said I have an excellent range of motion but a recent MRI showed severe OA with significant acetabular sub-chondral cysts in both hips. I wish your channel had existed 40 years ago!

Thanks Tom. I'm starting to understand why all these endless stretches are just increasing my discomfort. I've told each of my 4 chiros that I can feel my left leg instability with my hand as I take each step, but each one has just added more stretches. Your explanation makes a lot of sense, so I'm going to try basic core strengthening - cheaper and a lot more hopeful. Isn't YouTube wonderful!

Thanks for your work. I am 38 and have just been diagnosed with HD on both sides. LCEA ~20° This happened after I saw 2 orthopedic doctors and different PTs before and came out, after I literally "harassed" the last doctor to make an x-ray. He looked at the CE angle but misdiagnosed and said everything is fine. I sent the same X-ray material to two different hip experts and they finally diagnosed an HD. Pain in the butt, pain in the back, pain in the hamstring... that was a journey
