Résumé
Parents are frequently cautioned by therapists, teachers, physicians, and online resources about potential negative effects of w-sitting in children (including hip dysplasia), despite lack of evidence.

Measures of hip dysplasia were taken from radiographs. Parents/patients completed a questionnaire regarding the patients' sitting habits. Associations between hip dysplasia and w-sitting were analyzed statistically. About 48/104 parents/patients (46%) reported current or past w-sitting: 11/104 (11%) current, preferred position; 23/104 (22%) current, nonpreferred position, 14/104 (13%) w-sat in past, and 56/104 (54%) never w-sat. There was no difference in measures of hip dysplasia (
