Abstract
The epidemiology, demographics and natural history of the three types of congenital hip disease in adults are presented. Dysplasia is the most common type of the disease, while low and high dislocations have almost the same incidence. The majority of patients with congenital hip disease are women. Knowledge of the natural history of congenital hip disease is essential for the understanding of the potential development and progress of its types.
