Key result
Ultrasound-supervised treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip with the Pavlik harness achieved a 95.7% successful reduction rate and a 0.3% rate of mild avascular necrosis.

Does ultrasound supervision improve monitoring of Pavlik harness treatment in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip?
Ultrasound monitoring of Pavlik harness treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip results in a high reduction rate and minimal iatrogenic complications.
Taylor et al. (1997) conducted a cohort in Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) (n=221). Pavlik harness with ultrasound supervision was evaluated on Successful reduction in the harness. Ultrasound-supervised treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip with the Pavlik harness achieved a 95.7% successful reduction rate and a 0.3% rate of mild avascular necrosis.
