Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is a relatively common disorder of the paediatric age group and can have a significant impact on the quality of life, if left untreated. Some research has been done in this field from India over the past many decades, thereby helping to attain the present state of knowledge about DDH. Through this review, an attempt was made to identify and acknowledge important contributions in this field from India.
To provide some historical aspects and summarise the evidence developed in India concerning different facets of DDH since 1920.
Information about the evolution of DDH management in India was collated from recollections of the senior author (ANJ), from existing records, and contributions from senior Paediatric Orthopaedic surgeons of the country. The Medline database was searched for Indian literature concerning different aspects of DDH. All studies published in English language were included. Included studies were categorised into original studies, reviews, book chapters, case series and case reports, and their contribution to the understanding of DDH was highlighted.
The analysis showed 63 published studies on DDH from India. The majority of publications occurred between 2011 and 2020. Retrospective cohort studies and reviews comprised 46% of the published literature.
There is a scarcity of research on DDH from India, with many knowledge gaps still prevalent. The overall quality of published literature is poor, with very few good quality original research. However, an increasing trend for research on different aspects of DDH was observed.
发育性髋关节发育不良（DDH）是小儿年龄组中相对常见的疾病，如果不治疗，会对生活质量产生重大影响。在过去几十年里，印度在这一领域开展了一些研究，从而使我们对DDH有了目前的认识。通过本综述，试图识别并认可印度在该领域的重要贡献。
提供一些历史方面的内容，并总结自1920年以来印度在DDH不同方面所积累的证据。
从资深作者（ANJ）的回忆、现有记录以及该国资深小儿骨科医生的贡献中整理出印度DDH治疗方法演变的信息。在Medline数据库中搜索有关DDH不同方面的印度文献。纳入所有以英文发表的研究。纳入的研究分为原创研究、综述、书籍章节、病例系列和病例报告，并突出了它们对DDH理解的贡献。
分析显示印度有63项关于DDH的已发表研究。大多数出版物发表于2011年至2020年之间。回顾性队列研究和综述占已发表文献的46%。
印度对DDH的研究匮乏，许多知识空白仍然普遍存在。已发表文献的整体质量较差，高质量的原创研究很少。然而，观察到对DDH不同方面的研究有增加的趋势。
