Objective: The general objective of the present study is to analyze the scientific production on screening methods used for the early and timely diagnosis of DDH, in addition to investigating the resources and therapeutic methods available for its treatment. Methodology: The searches were carried out through searches in the PubMed Central (PMC) databases. and Virtual Health Library (VHL). Six descriptors were used in combination with the Boolean term “AND”: Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip, Orthopedics, Clinical Diagnosis, Risk Factors, pediatrics and Signs and Symptoms. 200 articles were found, subsequently submitted to the selection criteria. 16 studies were selected. Results: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is considered the most common congenital disease of the musculoskeletal system that affects newborns, DDH represents a wide spectrum of pathology, if not treated properly it can cause complications such as secondary damage to the femur, destruction of articular cartilage and even severe impairment of movement. Conclusion: Clinical screening for DDH is considered advantageous over no screening, both in terms of cost and favorable results. The management of DDH varies according to two factors, age and the severity of the disease. In babies under six months of age, the recommendation is to apply an abduction splint and control the progression of the disease through serial ultrasound. If there is no adequate response to immobilization, the baby may undergo a surgical procedure.
