Does ultrasonic examination effectively diagnose and classify congenital hip dysplasia in newborns?
Ultrasound is an established and advantageous technique for screening and diagnosing congenital hip dysplasia in newborns.
Szöke et al. (1988) conducted an observational in Congenital hip dysplasia (n=2,000). Ultrasonic screening examination was evaluated on Diagnosis and classification of congenital hip dysplasia according to the classification of Graf. Ultrasonic screening of 2,000 newborn hips allowed for the diagnosis and classification of congenital hip dysplasia according to Graf, supporting a differentiated diagnostic-therapeutic concept.
