Sumario:OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the relevance of hospitalizations for congenital hip deformities in Bahia. METHODS: This is a retrospective epidemiological study in public databases. Descriptors in health sciences: “congenital hip dysplasia”, “congenital hip dislocation”, and “congenital dislocation hip”. This is qualitative-quantitative research with the analysis of secondary data and cross-sectional typologies in the databases of the Ministry of Health – Health Information (TABNET), made available by the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). RESULTS: Bahia was the third Brazilian state with the highest number of hospitalizations, registering 1481 cases. The municipalities in Bahia with the highest prevalence were Itanhém, Salvador, and Barreiras, with 912, 445, and 20 cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The elevated number of congenital hip deformities reflects a public health problem, requiring investments in public policies.
