Problems encountered in the early diagnosis and management of congenital dislocation of the hip
Abstract
This paper reports the results of screening 53033 infants for congenital dislocation of the hip between 1970 and 1979, and compares them with the results of a similar screening programme between 1960 to 1969. The number of dislocations missed at neonatal examination is unaltered at 0.11 per cent of live births. Operative treatment was needed in a further 0.07 per cent of the recent series even though the dislocations had been diagnosed within 24 hours of birth. The reasons for the failure of neonatal screening are discussed, and suggestions are made which will improve the situation.
