Exercise 7

A firstborn female infant is brought into the primary physician's office for a well-child visit. The physician has difficulty abducting the left hip and notes asymmetrical thigh skinfolds. The physical exam demonstrates a "clunk" with abduction. The mother is concerned that upon diapering, she feels like the "hip is not right." The infant is most likely diagnosed with
A) slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
B) developmental dislocated hip (DDH).
C) Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) disease.
D) femoral anteversion.
