| Abstract |
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) involves a spectrum of hip disorders that affect hip anatomy and development and can range from mild anatomical deformity with a reduced but subluxatable hip to a frankly dislocated hip. It was previously known as congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) but this name is no longer used due to the fact that the hip may be anatomically abnormal whilst not being dislocated. The key aim of clinical management of DDH is early diagnosis and referral as this can often mean less invasive treatment is possible, and outcomes are significantly improved if treatment is initiated at an early stage and certainly before 6 wk of age. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 July 2016.
All research outputs
#3,703,585
of 22,881,154 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#69
of 1,533 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,982
of 338,926 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#3
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,881,154 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,533 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 338,926 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
