Résultats initiaux d'une expérience de dépistage échographique systématique de la luxation congénitale de hanche chez la fille

Ultrasound screening evaluation of the hip in girls at 1 month, in the setting of a multi-disciplinary program in pediatric orthepedics clinic, is feasible. A total of 74 abnormal hips undetected at the initial clinical evaluation in girls without risk factor were detected and treated. Systematic screening of girls for DDH must be further assessed to better determine its impact on the incidence of delayed diagnosis of DDH.
