The application reserch of ultrasonography for screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasonic Graf methods in screening developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)in infants .Methods 1 580 cases of 0-6 monthes old infants without severe limb anomalies were examined .Bilateral hip joints were examined mcluded analyzed according to Graf method .Results A total of 1 580 cases included 3 160 hip joints were analyzed ,827 were male (52 .34% ) and 753 were female (52 .34% ) among them .104 cases (6 .58% ) were diagnosed with abnormalities of the hip joints .Among the 104 cases ,88 cases (5 .57% ) were type Ⅱa hip joints ,9 cases (0 .57% ) were type Ⅱ b ,5 cases (0 .32% ) were type Ⅱc ,1 case (0 .06% ) and 1 case (0 .06% ) were type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ respectively .In each month of age abnormalities of the hip joints were diagnosed as followed79 cases(9 .69% ) were one month old ,13 cases (3 .98% ) were two month old ,2 cases (2 .15% ) were three month old ,6 cases (2 .26% ) were four month old ,1 cases (2 .44% ) was five month old and 3 cases (7 .69% ) were six month old .Conclusion Ultrasonic Graf method can provide the basic data for incidence of developmental dysplasia of hip in infants in local region and may be helpful to offer the related standards for early screening the abnormalities of the hip joints .
