A statistical study was carried out on the incidence of CDH associated with mechanical factors in the uterus, including congenital genu recurvatum. There were 72 cases of CDH among 6559 infants (1.1 per cent). The incidence of CDH was 0.7 per cent in cephalic presentation, 2 per cent in footling presentation and 20 per cent in single-breech presentation. In another series, CDH was found in six of seven infants with congenital genu recurvatum. These findings suggest that a fetal posture with the hip flexed and the knee extended predisposes to the development of CDH.Downloads
