Utilization of ultrasonography to detect developmental dysplasia of the hip: when reality turns selective screening into universal use
BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occurs in 3-5 of 1000 live births and is associated with known risk factors. In most countries, formal practice for early detection of DDH entails the combination of risk factor identification and physical examination of the hip, while the golden standard diagnostic instrument is hip ultrasonography (US). This practice is commonly referred to ...
متن کاملDevelopmental dysplasia of the hip: universal or selective ultrasound screening?
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is an intriguing condition that evolves during infancy. It would be thus foolhardy to expect a screening tool at birth to be both highly sensitive and specific. Uncertainty regarding an optimal screening method is compounded by a general lack of sound epidemiological data. Clinical screening remains widely used. Some reports estimated that it did not pic...
متن کاملUse of ultrasonography in developmental dysplasia of the hip
PURPOSE Ultrasonography has been used as a diagnostic tool in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) during early infancy since the early 1980s. The aim of this review article is to summarise the technique, benefits and shortcomings of four infantile hip ultrasonography methods, focusing mainly on the Graf method, and to assess the effectiveness of ultrasonographic newborn hip screening progr...
متن کاملUltrasonography of the hip in developmental hip dysplasia.
Ultrasonography of the hip was performed sequentially by two different examiners in 75 infants. The ultrasound strips were reviewed twice by three paediatric orthopaedic surgeons and classified by the Graf method. The intraobserver and interobserver agreement between the interpretations was analysed using simple and weighted kappa coefficients calculated for agreement on the Graf classification...
متن کاملScreening for developmental dysplasia of the hip.
The reported prevalence of established dislocation the hip in an unscreened population varies from 0.7 to 1.6 / 1000 children in European and American white populations. In clinically screened populations neonatal hip instability is reported to occur in 3 to 30 / 1000 newborns while established congenital dislocation has a prevalence of 0.1- 4/1000 of which 1/1000 is judged to be in need for su...
