We have undertaken routine ultrasound screening for neonatal hip instability in Coventry since June 1989. Of the 14 050 babies scanned during the first three years, 847 (6%) had ultrasound abnormalities. A grading system, based on the percentage of femoral head coverage, is presented. The proportion of abnormal hips decreased gradually so that by nine weeks, 90% had normal ultrasound appearance...
