Abstract
CASE
We present a case of an 8-year-old boy with classical bladder exstrophy and a neglected right hip dislocation, exemplifying the risk of missed developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in patients with exstrophy requiring careful orthopaedic oversight.
CONCLUSIONS
When treating patients with bladder exstrophy, physicians and surgeons should be vigilant not to miss associated DDH. If this condition requires surgical treatment, preoperative planning with computed tomography scans is vital to uncovering the complexities arising from abnormal pelvic and acetabular anatomy and ensuring successful treatment outcomes.
