Overview

Narrative review investigates the link between CMT and hip dysplasia in children, suggesting awareness is crucial.

Key Points

  • The review aims to explore the relationship between Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and developmental dysplasia of the hip.
  • Systematic search of PubMed and Web of Science for articles on CMT and DDH in patients under 14 years.
  • Included 11 publications discussing patient characteristics, genetics, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • Evaluated incidence rates and diagnostic patterns among different CMT subtypes.
  • High incidence of hip dysplasia in CMT patients, with some studies reporting rates as high as 22%.
  • Genetic factors, including PMP22 gene duplication, influence the association between CMT and DDH.
  • Diagnosis involves physical exams, X-rays, and genetic tests to confirm both conditions.
