Abstract
This paper describes the radiological status on the start of walking in 31 hip joints in 24 children, in which the treatment of the developmental dysplasia with dislocation of the hip began in the first 2 weeks. Before the beginning of the treatment, ultrasonographic assessment revealed type D in 22% hips, type III in 55% and type IV in 23%. The radiographic evaluation was based on 6 parameters, which values were compared to the normal ones for the age group. It was estimated that only 32% hips had a correct radiological status, the other hips revealed smaller or greater dysplasia.
