BACKGROUND: The aim of the current study was to search the effect of COVID-19 restriction on developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) screening. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the patients who brought to DDH screening in April-May and June-July 2020 and compared with the same period of 2019. We recorded age, gender, DDH type and risk factors of the patients. RESULTS: The number of patients taken for DDH screening was 430 and 400 in April-May 2019 and June-July 2019, respectively. In 2020, the number of patients taken for DDH screening was 159 and 776 in the same period, respectively. Thirteen patients were diagnosed with DDH older than 3 months age in June-July 2020. There were only two patients in same period in 2019. In 2020, 6 of 13 patients who applied to the hospital late for the routine US and had pathologic hips were not taken to orthopaedics or follow-up by their families. CONCLUSION: In the era of COVID-19, the number of late diagnosis and lost follow-up for DDH are increased. To prevent future morbidities and reduce surgical interventions, special measures should be taken.
