Sample itemWhat is a common presentation of developmental dysplasia of the hip?
Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.
The answer and the reasoning
A. Limited hip abduction
The key Pediatric orthopaedics principle supports Limited hip abduction; this answer most directly accounts for the clinical finding, investigation, or initial management described.
Option by option
A. Limited hip abduction (correct)
Correct. Limited hip abduction is the best response to the defining feature given.
B. Fixed dilated pupil
Fixed dilated pupil may apply in another setting but is not the best answer here.
C. Barking cough
Barking cough is not supported by the important pediatric orthopaedics clue.
D. Painless hematuria
Painless hematuria does not explain the condition or address the appropriate priority.
