Abstract
The hip dysplasia seen in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is neuromuscular in nature. It usually presents in the second or third decade of life and is initially asymptomatic but may later present with pain and gait abnormalities. Treatment should be aimed at addressing the acetabular and femoral components of the dysplasia. Early recognition is essential to avoid serious morbidity associated with the condition.
