Ultrasound examination to detect developmental dysplasia of the hip in newborn infants
For decades, all newborn infants have been examined by a paediatrician within days after being born. As part of this routine screening of all newborns the hips are being examined for potential developmental dysplasia. In Sweden there is variation in practice regarding which newborns, that in addition to the routine clinical examination, also are examined by ultrasound to detect potential developmental dysplasia of the hips (DDH).
