Developmental Dysplasia of the hip, or DDH, is a condition that can be identified in the neonate. One or both hip joints have not formed properly - the acetabulum (or the hip socket) is too shallow (or dysplastic) and the hip is either dislocated at rest, or can be felt to easily dislocate by the examining physician. This animation explains DDH from a medical perspective.
