    Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) - Crowe classification of severity of adult DDH

    Crowe et al. classified adult developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) into four grades according to the extent of underlying subluxation on AP x-ray of the pelvis.

    Crowe grade Dislocation Description
    Grade 1 <50% subluxation femur and acetabulum show minimal abnormal development
    Grade 2 50 - 70% subluxation the acetabulum shows abnormal development, femoral head articulates with false acetabulum, which partially covers the true acetabulum
    Grade 3 70 - 100% subluxation the acetabulum is developed without a roof
    Grade 4 >100% subluxation (luxation) the acetabulum is deficient but remains recognizable
