Examination of the infant hip with real-time ultrasonography

Abstract

Examination of the infant hip with a real-time sector scanner permits accurate and reliable determination of the anatomic structures and relationships of the hip joint. A technique using two transducer orientations has been found most effective. In 100 hip examinations, the method failed to differentiate an abnormal hip in only one instance.
