ABSTRACT
Ultrasound imaging of the neonatal hip [less than five months] is crucial for the early diagnosis and management of the developmental dysplasia of the hip [DDH] and for avoiding hip morbidity. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the different sonographic techniques adopted for the assessment of DDH and to verify the value of routine neonatal hip sonography. For the early detection of DDH, the study included 1200 hips [600 neonates], being examined by the routine standard and stress dynamic ultrasound hip techniques. The results of this study showed the importance of performing combined standard and dynamic hip sonography for all cases
