Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a disorder characterized by abnormal hip development that frequently manifests in infancy and early childhood. Preventing DDH from occurring relies on a timely and accurate diagnosis, which requires careful assessment by medical specialists during early X-ray scans. However, this process can be challenging for medical personnel to achieve without proper training. To address this challenge, we propose a computational framework to detect DDH in pelvic X-ray imaging of infants that utilizes a pipelined deep learning-based technique consisting of two stages: instance segmentation and keypoint detection models to measure acetabular index angle and assess DDH affliction in the presented case. The main aim of this process is to provide an objective and unified approach to DDH diagnosis. The model achieved an average pixel error of 2.862 ± 2.392 and an error range of 2.402 ± 1.963° for the acetabular angle measurement relative to the ground truth annotation. Ultimately, the deep-learning model will be integrated into the fully developed mobile application to make it easily accessible for medical specialists to test and evaluate. This will reduce the burden on medical specialists while providing an accurate and explainable DDH diagnosis for infants, thereby increasing their chances of successful treatment and recovery.
