Does dynamic ultrasound assessment reliably screen for and monitor treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip in high-risk infants?
Dynamic ultrasound is a reliable method for screening and monitoring congenital dislocation of the hip in high-risk infants, helping to avoid overtreatment and its complications.
Vedantam et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Congenital dislocation of the hip (n=114). Dynamic ultrasound assessment was evaluated on Abnormal findings and requirement for treatment.
