About 7.5% of hip replacements are done to treat problems which have arisen from hip dysplasia. [3] About 1 in 1,000 babies have hip dysplasia. [3] Hip instability of meaningful importance occurs in one to two percent of babies born at term. [3] Females are affected more often than males. [1]
A breech birth is when a baby is born bottom first instead of head first, as is normal. [1] Around 3–5% of pregnant women at term (37–40 weeks pregnant) have a breech baby.

[22] Bony congruence is a stabilizing factor to the hip joint, so the decrease in this conferred by hip dysplasia makes one more susceptible to dislocation. [22]
X-rays of hip dysplasia are one of the two main methods of medical imaging to diagnose hip dysplasia, the other one being medical ultrasonography. [1] [2] Ultrasound imaging yields better results defining the anatomy until the cartilage is ossified. When the infant is around 3 months old a clear roentgenographic image can be achieved.
